Cheryl, I meant to comment on the one movie that had the moon orbiting a revolving earth, when viewed from the north celestial pole. That is exactly what I have been telling folks for years. The path of the moon's orbit is not, no, CAN NOT be a closed circle or ellipse, simply because the earth is moving. It necessarily ends up looking like a sine wave from the North Celestial Pole just as your movie depicts. I might have to beg forgiveness for using the term "sine wave". It is certainly some kind of wave pattern. I really can't tell a "sine wave" from a "co-sine wave" or a "tangental wave" (if such exist).
