No official reports on it, so I doubt it's true.
Has the moon shifted 34 degrees on it's axis?

I'm going to say no, on the assumption that the laws of physics are the same as they were yesterday. To be clear, I think this is quite a safe assumption, as we haven't all dropped dead.

I suspect given clear conditions the man in the moon might be on view again for a few days around May 15th.

I didn't realise they were. All I could find was speculation websites and extremists. Could I have a link? :)

This might be the paper. Unfortunately the conspiracy theorists have jumped all over the 'further research required' with their own agendas.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that just the eccentricity of it's orbit. Whereas this is about it's axial tilt?
Google it, and read about it. I can't cut and paste with this damn browser, or I would post it.
