Topic: Two Moon


  
  The Moon
The Moon was heavily bombarded early in its history, which caused many of the original rocks of the ancient crust to be thoroughly mixed, melted, buried, or obliterated.
This false-color photograph of the Moon was taken by the Galileo spacecraft on December 8, 1992.
The footprints of the astronauts are clearly visible in the soil of the Moon.

 "Moon Hoax"
There are two "Moon hoaxes." The first, sometimes referred to as the "Great Moon Hoax," was perpetrated in 1835 by Richard Adams Locke, a writer hired by the newly established New York Sun.
The fact that the "Moon Hoax" was almost certainly nothing of the kind has been argued compellingly by Michael Crowe who cites an account of the affair written by William Griggs in 1852.
The second "Moon hoax" is the more modern claim that the Apollo missions never landed on the Moon.

 The Moon Illusion
The moon's vertical angular diameter at the horizon is even smaller, causing the moon to appear "flattened." At the horizon the light must pass through a greater distance in our atmosphere than when the moon is higher in the sky.
We can draw two small identical figures on such a drawing, say a couple of plain (featureless) disks of equal size, the one placed where the tracks are well-separated on the paper (interpreted as near) and the other placed where the tracks converge to the vanishing point on the horizon (interpreted as far).
Some studies have asked subjects "which moon seems nearer", which seems an unfair question, but still one cannot deny that we have mental processes that produce at least an approximate subconscious judgment of "near and far" for things in the sky, and this is certainly relevant to the sky illusions.

 Phases of the Moon and Percent of the Moon Illuminated   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
The phases of the Moon are related to (actually, caused by) the relative positions of the Moon and Sun in the sky.
Considering the Moon as a circular disk, the ratio of the area illuminated by direct sunlight to its total area is the fraction of the Moon's surface illuminated; multiplied by 100, it is the percent illuminated.
For practical purposes, phases of the Moon and the percent of the Moon illuminated are independent of the location on the Earth from where the Moon is observed.

 The Moon And Tides
When the Moon is at first quarter or last quarter phase (meaning that it is located at right angles to the Earth-Sun line), the Sun and Moon interfere with each other in producing tidal bulges and tides are generally weaker; these are called neap tides.
The two dominant periods are sue to the Sun and Moon, these are referred to as the S1 and M2 'modes' which have roughly 12 hour periods because they raise TWO water tides on the ocean diametrically opposite each other.
On the far side of the Earth, the Moon is tugging on the center of the Earth slightly stronger than it is on the far surface, so the resultant force vector is directed away from the Earth's center.

 The Moon - Zoom Astronomy
The moon is a cold, dry orb whose surface is studded with craters and strewn with rocks and dust (called regolith).
Also, from any spot on the moon (except on the far side of the moon where you cannot see the Earth), the Earth would always be in the same place in the sky; the phase of the Earth changes and the Earth rotates, displaying various continents.
At its closest approach (the lunar perigee) the moon is 221,460 miles (356,410 km) from the Earth.

 17 - Moon
In a man the moon corresponds to his anima, the collective unconscious in female form; in a woman it's the opposite, the moon is her animus, the collective unconscious in male form; in both sexes the personal unconscious manifests as the Shadow.
The fourth phase of the moon, the new moon, is invisible, as is the fourth form of Hecate, when she is called the Dark Moon, the moon goddess in her hidden, mysterious aspect (see 4.High Priestess).
In this trump the moon is young, but on the eve of the full moon the rites of Hecate will be celebrated; then, "When the moon shines in her fulness the 'rabid dog', the danger that threatens the divine child, is chased away" (Jung, MC 131).

 The Moon
Our Moon, with a diameter of 2,160 mi, is one of the larger moons in our solar system and is especially large when compared with the planet that it orbits.
Though the Moon goes around Earth in the time mentioned, the interval from new moon to new moon is 29 days, 12 hours, 44 minutes, and 2.78 seconds.
This delay of nearly two days is due to the fact that Earth is moving around the Sun, so that the Moon needs two extra days to reach a spot in its orbit where no part is illuminated by the Sun, as seen from Earth.

 By hands unknown: Who was here? Artifacts in Two Moon Park stump authorities - billingsgazette.com
Several mysterious, not to say frightening, objects found in Two Moon Park could be evidence of extraterrestrial visitation, or possibly of the existence of devil worshipers, The Billings Gazette has learned.
Norm Schoenthal, the caretaker of Two Moon Park, was receptive to the possibility that the strange doings in Two Moon Park were somehow connected to people practicing Druidism, a possibility suggested by this reporter.
The wooden corral is located about a quarter-mile from the Two Moon parking lot, just off the Dull Knife Trail, one of four marked paths running through the park.

 Topical Words: Blue moon
Charles Earle Funk suggested in 1948 that the two expressions are connected, the green cheese being the freshly pressed round cheese that looks white like the full moon, and the blue moon the one just before the new moon begins to show, when rarely the Moon’s surface, bathed only in faint Earthlight, may look blue.
It seems the Almanac commonly gave each of the 12 common full moons of the year a name (of which one was the well-known Hunter’s Moon), divided into four sets of three that matched the seasons.
In years when there were 13 full moons in a year, the editor gave the third full moon in the season which had the extra one the name of blue moon.

 The Moon
The Moon's gravitational attraction is stronger on the side of the Earth nearest to the Moon and weaker on the opposite side.
Actually, the Moon appears to wobble a bit (due to its slightly non-circular orbit) so that a few degrees of the far side can be seen from time to time, but the majority of the far side (left) was completely unknown until the Soviet spacecraft Luna 3 photographed it in 1959.
There were three principal theories: co-accretion which asserted that the Moon and the Earth formed at the same time from the Solar Nebula; fission which asserted that the Moon split off of the Earth; and capture which held that the Moon formed elsewhere and was subsequently captured by the Earth.

 Lunar Tides
But this gravitational attraction of the Moon is not limited to the water molecules; in fact, the Moon exerts a gravitational force on every object on and in the Earth.
The liquid at point A is closer to the Moon and experiences a larger gravitational force than the Earth at point B or the ocean at point C. Because it experiences a larger attraction, it is pulled away from the Earth, toward the Moon, thus producing the bulge on the right side.
The Earth and Moon are not static, as depicted in the preceding diagram, but instead are in orbit around the common center of mass for the system.

The full Harvest Moon was a signal, to those who would listen, that it was time to start the last work of the year in the fields.
The late fall Hunter's Moon was invented by analogy with the Harvest Moon, and some of the other almanac moon names have the same ring of later invention.
Because the moon and our calendar are not in sync and all the months but February are longer than the moon's synodical cycle, it happens about seven times in every nineteen years.

Two Sides of the Moon falls into the second category, a respectable rock record that honors its limitations (Keith’s voice) and works within those confines to produce a batch of good songs.
Moon has that sort of humble and slightly besotted voice, not off key so much as off center.
Of course it’s silly in spots, yet it never stoops to the put-upon strangeness of a “Dogs Part Two.” Two Sides of the Moon serves the Keith Moon legend as a charming anomaly, an indication that there was more to Moon than playing drums like a man possessed and wallowing in comic excess.
