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.…

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…

The beach is different for everyone, different memories and feelings. My favorite memory is of the sun being replaces by the moon. This moment gave me a sense of calm in the storm that is my life.

My dad and sister were the perfect median between my mom and me. They liked noon as it was when the place was erupted…

There are many different variations of the calendar, including Egyptian, Roman, Gregorian, Lunar, etc. The creation of the calendar was influenced by the geographical location as well as the seasons, although, in warmer countries where seasons cannot be differentiated, the moon would keep the…

William Shakespeare’s complex use of imagery and symbolism is what drives his work from being a rudimentary play to an artistic expression of emotions. A typical play from Shakespeare often holds love and romance as a central theme, which applies to A Midsummer Night’s Dream. On the surface, A Midsummer Night’s Dream portrays itself as a romantic comedy combined with mystical works and lover’s desires, all of which is played under the moonlight. However, a deeper exploration into the work…
