Thoth is the name given by the Greeks to the Egyptian god Djeheuty. Thoth was the god of wisdom, inventor of writing, patron of scribes and the divine mediator. He is most often represented as a man with the head of an ibis, holding a scribal palette and reed pen. He could also be shown completely as an ibis or a baboon. As with most Egyptian deities, there were many different stories regarding the parentage of Thoth. Many sources call him the son of Re, but one tradition has him springing…

Mainly focusing on abnormal behavior during the full moon.

patterns follow that of the lunar month. The differences are that the month of March takes about one day longer to reach 100% than that of January, which is still in line with the patterns of the lunar month. The month of January is always slightly ahead of March in the lunar cycle. This data proves that fact of the lunar months length, 29.5 days. For the equations for these two models, they are extremely similar, except for…

Paragraph 2: What are sun and moon dogs? A moon dog is a relatively rare bright circular spot on a lunar halo caused by the refraction of moonlight. A sundog is also known as mock suns or “parhelia”, are a pair of brightly colored spots, one on either side of the sun. Sun dogs form as sunlight is refracted by hexagonal- plate like ice crystals with diameters larger than 30 micrometer and their flat faces horizontally oriented. By day, with the sun, one of these phenomena (fa-nom-a-nin) is called…

Article In the article “What Is a Solar Eclipse?” on Live Science it states that solar eclipses are “some of nature’s most dramatic celestial performances”. A solar eclipses occurrence is very seldom and can only be seen when the sun, moon, and Earth are aligned and the moon passes between the sun and the Earth. A total Eclipse occurs about every 18 months on Earth. There are two types of shadows. The umbra, and the penumbra. While a total solar eclipse is going on, the moon casts its umbra on…

The Moon has not always sat in the sky watching over the Earth and all its inhabitants. No. In fact the Moon used to wander the earth just like any creature or human does now - as did the Sun. This is the story of what she did before she sat up in the sky. This is the story of the Moon and her only friend. The Sun was loved by all. His heart was warm and his smile was bright. His hands were strong hands that as they touched the earth could make bright green plants sprout from even the driest…

Using lunar calendars and the common knowledge that the moon’s phases are a direct result of the moon’s position in its orbit around Earth, the phase of the moon at any point in time can be predicted with high reliability. The average person could predict that…

Sarah O’Hara Phases of the Moon In this report, I will be explain how and why the appearance of the Moon changes over time. With some knowledge about phases of the Moon, I was able to learn a lot of valuable information through observations, group discussions, collecting data, and recording my findings. My report will answer the question “How and why does the appearance of the Moon change over time?” Methods of Collecting Data Throughout my observations, I was required to collect my data,…

Luna was jolted awake by a loud noise. She got out of her bed curious what the noise could be, hoping it was just a guard, and that no one was hurt or need help. She went to the door, carefully opening it. In front of her was a mailmare. Luna stared trying to process what she saw before her. She never got mail. Why was there a mail mare here. When she realized she was staring, she shook herself out of her stupor and relaxed. “I have a letter for you,” the mare said. “Thank you.” She…
