152-153 .</ ref > The moon and sun are likewise considered to be flat and floating on streams of air, and when the sun sets it does not pass under the earth but is merely obscured by higher parts of the earth as it circles around and becomes more distant ; the motion of the sun and the other celestial bodies around the earth is likened by Anaximenes to the way that a cap may be turned around the head .< ref > Fairbanks, Arthur.

This may explain the ' sponge-like ' appearance of that moon.

Most material ejected from the crater is deposited within a few crater radii, but a small fraction may travel large distances at high velocity, and in large impacts it may exceed escape velocity and leave the impacted planet or moon entirely.

Like other Wiccans, Dianics may form covens, attend festivals, celebrate the eight major Wiccan holidays, Samhain, Beltane, Imbolc ( or Imbolg ), Lammas, the solstices and equinoxes ( see Wheel of the Year ) and the Esbats, which are rituals usually held at the full moon or dark moon.

The 14th of the paschal lunar month is designated by convention as the Paschal full moon, although the 14th of the lunar month may differ from the date of the astronomical full moon by up to two days.

The subsurface water ocean of Jupiter's moon Europa may harbor life, especially at hypothesized hydrothermal vents at the ocean floor.

Typical monthly calendars that include phases of the moon may be off by one day if intended for use in a different time zone.

The true time of a full moon may differ from this approximation by up to about 14. 5 hours as a result of the non-circularity of the moon's orbit.

This may result in an occasional variation of a maximum of one day, depending on the inability to observe the new moon.

In a 1999 Journal of Affective Disorders article, a hypothesis was suggested that the phase of the moon may in the past have had an effect on individuals with bipolar disorder by providing light during nights which would otherwise have been dark, and affecting susceptible individuals through the well-known route of sleep deprivation.

If the solar year is defined as a tropical year, then a lunisolar calendar will give an indication of the season ; if it is taken as a sidereal year, then the calendar will predict the constellation near which the full moon may occur.

But it has been conjectured that Europa, the fourth-largest moon of Jupiter, may possess a sub-surface ocean of liquid water and could potentially host life.

Reports in March 2008 have suggested that the Saturnian moon Rhea may have its own tenuous ring system, which would make it the only moon known to possess a ring system.

Although the instant of the full moon must occur after the instant of the vernal equinox, it may occur on the same day.

Although the instant of the full moon must occur after the instant of the vernal equinox, it may occur on the same day.

There is the moon cake which has a thick filling usually made from lotus seed paste or sweetened red bean paste and surrounded by a relatively thin ( 2 – 3 mm ) crust and may contain yolks from salted duck eggs.

Some drawings may show an image of a " pure land " to indicate liberation, rather than a moon.

The proposed capture of Triton may explain several features of the Neptunian system, including the extremely eccentric orbit of Neptune's moon Nereid and the scarcity of moons as compared to the other gas giants.

An early theory of how Triton may have been slowed was by collision with another object, either one that happened to be passing by Neptune ( which is unlikely ), or a moon or proto-moon in orbit around Neptune ( which is more likely ).

Their origins are unknown, but they may be gravitationally captured into current orbit or they may be ejecta from meteor impacts on the moon.

A nuclear pacifier of these dimensions -- roughly some six and a half times bigger than anything the United States has triggered experimentally -- would certainly produce a bigger bang, and, just for kicks, Khrushchev might use it to propel the seminar of the house of delegates from St. Louis to the moon, where there wouldn't even be any beer to drink.

Mark stopped the car and switched off the lights and they sat looking at the water, which, there being no moon out, at first could be distinguished from the sky only by an absence of stars.

When sufficiently accurate and complete measurements are available, it will be possible to set limits on the thermal and electrical characteristics of the surface and subsurface materials of the moon.

Piddington and Minnett explained their observations by pointing out that rocklike materials which are likely to make up the surface of the moon would be partially transparent to radio waves, although opaque to infrared radiation.

The infrared emission could then be assumed to originate at the surface of the moon, while the radio emission originates at some depth beneath the surface, where the temperature variation due to solar radiation is reduced in amplitude and shifted in phase.

The radio radiation of the sun which is reflected from the moon and planets should be negligible compared with their thermal emission at centimeter wave lengths, except possibly at times of exceptional outbursts of solar radio noise.

Such high-resolution observations as these are needed at several wave lengths in order that the radio emission of the moon can be properly interpreted.

The ratio of the measured antenna temperature change during a drift scan across the moon to the average brightness temperature of the moon over the antenna beam ( assuming that the brightness temperature of the sky is negligible ) was found, by graphical integration of the antenna directivity diagram, to be 0.85.

The variation in the 3-cm emission of the moon during a lunation is very much less than the variation in the 8.6-mm emission, as would be expected from the explanation of Piddington and Minnett ( 1949 ).

The Leyden papyrus recommends that this invocation be pronounced to the moon:

Stormalong was said to be a sailor and a giant, some 30 feet tall ; he was the master of a huge clipper ship known in various sources as either the Courser or the Tuscarora, a ship so tall that it had hinged masts to avoid catching on the moon.

With the introduction of European astronomy into China via the Jesuits, the motions of both the sun and moon began to be calculated with sinusoids in the 1645 Shíxiàn calendar (, Book of the Conformity of Time ) of the Qing dynasty, made by the Jesuits Adam Schall and Giacomo Rho.

Diffraction in the atmosphere by small particles can cause a bright ring to be visible around a bright light source like the sun or the moon.

For example, the revolution period of Jupiter's moon Io is 152853. 5047 seconds, a value that would be represented in standard-form scientific notation as 1. 528535047 seconds.

For any given location, about half of these absolute maximum full moons will be potentially visible, as the other half occur during the day, when the full moon is below the horizon.

The date and approximate time of a specific full moon ( assuming a circular orbit ) can be calculated from the following equation:

For further clarification, it should be noted that biblical months always begin at the first sighting of the new moon and that biblical days begin at sundown: thus the evening of the 14th day and the 15th day of the biblical month is the full moon.

For instance, the Egg Moon ( the full moon before Easter ) would be the first moon after March 21, and the Lenten Moon would be the last moon on or before March 21.

In reference to Fenrir's presentation in the Prose Edda, Andy Orchard theorizes that " the hound ( or wolf )" Garmr, Sköll, and Hati Hróðvitnisson were originally simply all Fenrir, stating that " Snorri, characteristically, is careful to make distinctions, naming the wolves who devour the sun and moon as Sköll and Hati Hróðvitnisson respectively, and describing an encounter between Garm and Týr ( who, one would have thought, might like to get his hand on Fenrir ) at Ragnarök.

The 9th-century Christian chronologer George Syncellus cites Sextus Julius Africanus as writing in reference to the darkness mentioned in the synoptic gospels as occurring at the death of Jesus: Thallus calls this darkness an eclipse of the Sun in the third book of his Histories. Africanus then goes on to point out that an eclipse cannot occur at Passover when the moon is full and therefore diametrically opposite the Sun.
