Why did the moon rise in the north

Someone on my facebook said something about this.. & ive been trying to read up on it.. & I cant find anything... So can someone tell me why the moon is rising in the north?
thanks for your answers

The Moon never rises in the north. At certain times every month the Moon (like the Sun) rises quite far in the northeast and sets quite far in the northwest, as it has done the last few nights. That's because at Full Moon in December, the Moon is close to the farthest north it ever reaches in the sky. This is exactly the same as the Sun behaves in June, when it is at its northernmost point. These are all completely normal and predictable motions of the Sun and Moon. Astronomers take them for granted, but people who don't understand astronomy think that the Sun and Moon are behaving in "strange and mysterious ways." They have been known to make YouTube videos about them...

The Moon rises ans sets farther north between the fall and spring equnoxes because the geometry of the tilt of Earth's rotational axis and the planes the Earth's and the Moon's orbit changes where both the Sun AND the Moon appear to rise and set along the horizon changes between the solstices. Because the plane of the Moon's orbit is tilted 5.1 degrees to the ecliptic plane, the Moon appears to rise and set further north from October to May while the Sun appears to rise and set further south from June 21 to December 21. Just ignore the people who tell you that you are crazy or delusional. You are neither.

Unless you live at an EXTREME latitude, it didn't rise anywhere near due north. The nearest cardinal direction from where the moon is rising is undoubtedly east.

They probably just meant that it is rising SLIGHTLY north of due east.

On the equinox and when the moon also is at an eclipse node, then the moon will rise due east. Any other time, there is perhaps an offset, which can be due to a combination of two factors.
