Harvest Moon Pic . . . and an Autumn Dec Pic, Too
Comments (15)Thanks for your kind words. Yes, our views up here are gorgeous. Lee it takes me about ten minutes max to drive from my house near the village here down to the town below us. That's actually 2 towns down there, as they're kind of running together lately. Urban sprawl in not something we're used to here in New Mexico, but it is happening in a few places. As for my buffet, I do like to keep it simple as we use that area as a buffet most evenings at dinner (we eat dinner in our dining room pretty much every night except Fridays, as well as weekend breakfasts). But, that said, I LOVE seeing all your not-as-simple centerpieces and vignettes. They're gorgeous! Lynn...See MoreMoon's Filling Up
Comments (7)Thanks Konrad. No, the moon is as seen in the photo. Every few months, the moon is horizontal as in the photo. This usually happens near a lunar eclipse occurring at moonrise or moonset. Go outside and look at the moon tonight. Watch it as it sets, it will be positioned as would a bowl on a table... a full bowl, that is. The moon's setting and rising degrees varies greatly as compared to the sun, which rises and sets farther north until it reaches the Summer Solstice, the point at which the Sun is farthest north of the equator and is on June 21 or 22. The Winter Solstice, usually occurs on December 21 or 22, and is the point where the sun is farthest south of the equator. The moon moves more often north and south. When it sets near the point where the sun sets, it will be as in the photo. Likewise, if it rises near the point where the sun rises, it will also look like a laying down "C". I probably got you more confused than helped you understand why it looks as it does. I know why it does(looks) as it does, but have a hard time conveying why. Maybe Solstice can explain it better...

Comments (7)Yes, it's been a long time. He had such a hard time at the beginning of school, but he's really hit his stride. I can't imagine him off at university, and I totally can. He's really in another world, far outside of mine, even within mine. The man I spoke of, the bioinformatician I talked about? He works with me. Obama's staff tried hard to get him to head up the new Precision Medicine initiative, but he stayed at my employers. He's really good. But, the point? He and LF (who is inches taller than I am, and just passed me up in weight. NOT little) were talking about directions for university, and they were talking about actual computer science language and writing equations on my white erase board that looks like total Greek to me. LF stood toe to toe with him and added to the conversation. He's gonna do well. I was floored. And proud. Despite all he's been through, he'll be more than all right....See MoreFriday 13th Full Moon Harvest Moon!
Comments (21)To Schoolhouse: Good news! If you live one more year, you can view the Harvest Moon again. There is a Harvest Moon every year. It is the full moon occurring nearest to the September equinox which is around Sept. 22. About 3 out of 4 Harvest Moons appear in September; About 1 in 4 appears in October. This year's harvest Moon is smaller than others since the moon is at its apogee ( its farthest distance from earth.) The moon's orbit is elliptical, not circular. It can be shown mathematically that an elliptical orbit is stable whereas a circular one is not. If a body in a circular orbit is perturbed, its orbit will change to an ellipse and will not return to a circular one. If a body is in an elliptical orbit and gets perturbed, it merely changes the shape of the ellipse as determined by the change in momentum of the orbiting body....See Morekentuck_8b
