iv noticed theres been no moon at night for the last couple of nights. and orions belt seems to be sitting in a different position in the sky
{Ed032's Note - I nearly mentioned the waning crescent Moon a couple of days ago, United ireland. It looked amazing. The Moon has been absent for the last couple of days (covered by a black disc?).
The constellations do change position, as you know, and being a month past the winter solstice it will be noticeable, now. Unless you noticed Orion in a strange or unusual position?

yeah mate iv noticed like a disc thing covering the moon the mornings just before there has been no moon i noticed when there was like half a moon that there was like a cover over the other half you could make the outline of it out.
with orions belt iv noticed it sits over more to the east now than the west the usual position i usely seen it in when walking the dog at night this is may facing southwards looking at it

{Ed032's Note - Yes. Sometimes you can see a black disc with the whole edges lit up, which would not be possible using the globetard model. In Egyptian mythology there are 2 moons. The white Moon called 'Set' and the black or dark Moon called 'Anubis'. Anubis being the one that covers Set.
Orion does move position pretty quickly, especially if you are looking each night. Stellarium is good for checking where things should be. I am usually out in the morning, early, so everything is different, then. My village has a 'dark skies' policy so I get a great view of the heavens. Great to wonder about whilst pounding the pavement. 👍
