How does the orbit of the moon around the Earth affect the view of
Earth from the moon? If I lived in a city at the Apollo 11 landing
site how would the Earth look at different times? Would it have
phases like the moon seen from Earth? Would it rise and set?
How would the views differ from the south pole and the north pole?
