No-one seems to have bitten on this one yet - so here goes. The cresent
moon is NOT, repeat NOT inverted left to right and the sun rises in the
east here too! Why? Because our planet is revolving in the same bloody
direction as yours - we're just a litt bit ahead of you is all. It is,
however, inverted top to bottom (as are star constellations) because
you're standing upside down but, of course, this isn't noticeable. Tsk!
