The caption on this image indicates that it is demonstrating the Moon' gravitational potential when it is directly over 30°. But I thought that the most northerly position of the Moon was limited to 28.55° (i.e. 23.4° for the Earth's obliquity + 5.15° for the inclination of the Moon's orbit). Have I misunderstood something? — Preceding unsigned comment added by SpencerRugaber (talk • contribs) 14:26, 27 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
