Not sure if this is what you're talking about...

I was tracking the moon facing the southwest when the eclipse started, and it continued to move towards the west. So in the picture, the mountains on the left are southwest, and on the right are more cardinal west.

So yes, the moon moves east to west, like you said. But in the context of this picture, east is to our left (out of frame) and west is to our right. I think we are talking about the same thing 🙂

> But, honest to God, when I say I did some research does that not kind of indicate the same thing?

I really don't have much of a problem with people copy-pasting info from another site onto Reddit so long as they don't fully pretend they are the ones who came up with it; to be clear, I don't think your reply comes across as a "I made this" situation.

It's just that adding a vertical line or "greater than" symbol would have made it clear that it was a direct quote... or even changing that period before the quote into a colon would have made it absolutely clear that you were copying the text wholesale.

I'm confused as to why merely bringing this up has gotten me downvoted, but then I remembered: Reddit.
