You're probably already aware that the Sun, moon, and other objects appear to rise and set in different places each day. Due to the axial tilt of the Earth and our orbit, the geometry of our planets surroundings in the solar system is always changing. With the changing of the seasons the sunset/sunrise and moonset/moonrise shift north or south. This image is a composite of two consecutive sunsets as a way to demonstrate the difference just a day makes.
