How does the Moon's path appear to an observer looking from the geographic Pole ($90^ ext{o}$ N or S)?
Answer
It appears to circle horizontally around the horizon.
At the Pole, the observer is looking along the celestial axis, and the Moon appears to circle horizontally around the horizon over the course of a month, similar to the Sun during summer solstice.
