Moon's far side from Luna 3, 1959One of the first recorded views of the Moon's far side, part of a 29-photograph sequence taken by the Soviet Luna 3 spacecraft on October 7, 1959. Mare Smythii, which lies on the boundary between the near and far sides, is the circular dark patch...
The phases of the moon influence the activity of many biological organisms. Parasites and other microorganisms are thought to become more active around the full moon phase. This article will discuss what parasites are, how they impact our bodies, and how to do a full moon parasite protocol to ...
A calendar for indicating the phases of the moon has a circular disc representing the moon. It is accommodated in a slide having adjusted relative to the date slab. The circular disc (7) can be displaced in the slide housing (2) below and between two circular cover discs (3, 4) which...
earth. Telescopic observations begun in 1610 by Galileo made it possible to detect the mountainous structure of the moon’s surface. The maria are plains of darker color than other areas, which are sometimes called continental regions, and abound in mountains, most of which are circular (craters...
3f, g). Consistently, the phase differences in days calculated from the angle between the two mean vectors from the circular analysis is smaller in the mutants than in the wild types when comparing the phase of the month before the entrainment (month 1) with two months after the entrainment...
Near the centre of the Moon’s visible face lies the circular Mare Vaporum. It’s bordered to the north by several mountain ranges, including the impressive Apennine’s which tower 5,000m over the floor of the crater. The mare contains only one significant crater, the 39km wide Manilium...
, both upright and reversed. The symmetric card backs, showing different phases of the moon, allow for reversed readings. Also included in the booklet is a unique ten-card spread called the Lunatic Spread, which mimics the shape of the full moon, and derives energy from its circular pattern...
Contrary to most watches, the Rolex Cellini Moonphase uses a display that differs slightly from the crowd. Usually, moonphase indications are semi-circular windows which show a partial to full indication of the moon (or none at new moon), with a discs that rotates on 59 teeth (2 x 29.5...
The Lunar Sabbath idea is a new wind of doctrine promoting the idea that the phases of the moon identify or set the weekly Sabbaths. Even among those promoting this concept, there are major differences. These doctrines say the new moon re-sets the "week" we know as the 7-day pattern ...
In this work, we tested whether activity patterns of wild boar, a species with poor visive abilities, were dependent on moon phases and environmental lightening. We aimed to assess if nocturnal activity could be better explained by variations of the lunar cycle or by the variations of ...
