Hey Stonius,
Good question, I had guessed wrongly that visibility changed based on the hemisphere of the observer because I knew that when the Actual Astronomy podcast guys see it in Canada, we don't see it here. But it would make more sense for it to be an outcome of the moon's full orbit not quite aligning with the same time of day on earth. So it would be more of a longitude issue then.
