Is The Simpsons Set in New Zealand...

In the latest episode of The Simpsons, Elon Musk guest starred and spends time at the Simpsons' home.

At one point he stands by the dining room window, looking out at the night sky as the family sits behind him eating dinner.

Some viewers have noticed that the tips of the waxing crescent moon face right - how they would in the southern hemisphere..

In the northern hemisphere, the tips of a waxing crescent moon face left, pointing away from the sun, unlike what was seen in the new episode.

The waxing crescent moon is important to note, according to astronomer Phil Plait.

In the northern hemisphere, the tips of a waxing crescent moon face left, pointing away from the sun.

But in The Simpsons' scene with Musk, the tips of the waxing crescent moon face right - how they would in the southern hemisphere.

'This is the moment that changed everything for me. The frozen moment of time when I realized that for 22 years, The Simpsons has been lying to us,' Plait wrote on Slate.

Plait, 50, does not reveal, however, why he believes the show to be lying for only 22 years of its 26-year span on television.

But the fact that there are places called Springfield in Australia, New Zealand and South Africa, makes this theory entirely possible.

Orrrrrr maybe it's just being read into WAY TOO MUCH!
