Lunar mare

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 grabbed the letter with her magic. “Do you know who sent it.” “Nope. Some pony gave me this on the street and told me to give it to you; that's all I know. I’m just doing my job.” “Are you sure you don’t remember anything about the pony who gave you this?”…

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…

the same river going uphill and downhill which would technically be illogical. Some also say that the earth must be flat to allow the rain to fall. On the other hand, there’s people who strongly believe that the earth is not flat. Religion doesn’t have much of a role here. They say that it cannot be flat because ships disappear from the horizon. Ships do not just “appear” or “disappear” out of the horizon (like they should have if the world was flat). They emerge from beneath the sea.…

Daniel Ritchie Professor Ms. Macdonald English 26 October 1015 The effect of moon phases on human behavior. The term “Lunar effect” refers to the connection between the moon phases and human behavior. The recorded statistics were recorded in correlation with the phases of the moon. Mainly focusing on abnormal behavior during the full moon. Violence during the full or close to the full moon. 11,613 cases of aggravated assault in a five year period happened more often around the time of…

In Graph JM2-17, the cosine curve for both is very similar. Both months/graphs start out at a very minimal percent illumination of the moon, reaching peak illumination around the 12th and 13th day of the months. They also both reach the point of no illumination on the exact same day of the month, the 28th. These 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…

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 in a year the moon will be full, as opposed to the New Moon being experienced…

is a rare occurrence, that is not the only main reason for why I chose this APOD. After reading chapter 3 from the Horizon’s textbook, I thought the section covering moon cycles was the most intriguing. However, as helpful as the textbook is, it doesn’t talk specifically about this particular moon we were about to witness. So with my APOD chosen, my research began. Initially, I didn’t really know that much about the significance of this moon aside from it being called the Harvest Moon. After…
