SUN 90 00.0 S 8 14.4 +53 45.6 180.0 | -0.7 16.0 0.1 15.4
MOON 89 56.0 S 7 53.1 +54 06.9 179.9 | -0.7 15.2 32.8 47.3
As can be seen, Ha Moon is 54 06.9’ – 32.8’ = 53 34.1. 45.6-34.1= 11.5’, so the Moon’s centre to an observer at 28N 090W is 11.5’ below and 6’ to the left of that of the Sun. Now look! My cornflakes have gone soggy. DaveP
