Fun fact for the day:

In the Northern Hemisphere the moon waxes/wanes right-to-left, while in the Southern Hemisphere it goes left-to-right.

Also, the sun moves the other way across the sky.

I wasn't expecting this, because it is, of course, going from East to West in both hemispheres. But after a lifetime of seeing it swing anti-clockwise round the northern half of the sky, it was very disorienting moving to Germany and seeing the sun swinging clockwise in the southern sky.

... and I did not notice this in the slightest when I switched hemispheres. To be fair, I don't exactly spend a lot of time outdoors; the motion of the sun is obscure to me at the best of times.
