Jeanway 0 Posted August 22, 2004 I just found out the moon doesn't rise and set in the exact same place. The cycle is something like 9 1/2 years. But the cycle is so long that it hasn't really been studied until recently. Just a few degrees difference over that span of time is barely noticable, that's why we all thought it was in the same place all the time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
