The Science of Moon Sighting Over the seasons, the sun changes the point on the horizon where it rises.(I live in the southern hemisphere and in the spring the sun`s ``rise point`` moves to the north. In the autumn, it moves to the south).

Something I have been trying to find out for a long time is: does the moon`s ``rise point`` also move on the horizon? Or for any point on the surface of Earth does the moon always appear to rise at the same point on the horizon? I would be grateful for your answer.
