The reason the moon is north up by default, is because that's the orientation that most people expect to see it, whether you're in the northern hemisphere or southern hemisphere.
Although I do agree that there is an argument to be made to have the moon south up by default on our site, for now I'm leaving it in that orientation. I may add an option to spin it if you're not logged in but for now, my apologies, it'll have to stay as it is because I'm seriously flat out with work.
