#Nightly #Lunascope Jun 25 – “King tide” is a modern term, but has always happened when spring tides coincide with the #Moon at perigee - its closest to Earth. It is gaining use as coastal flooding becomes a global issue. #BronzeAge #NebraSkyDisc #archeoastronomy #astrology #stargazing #Lunar
#Nightly #Lunascope Jun 24 – Bronze Age astronomers would notice occasional novae – new stars. There is one visible in the constellation Lupus, but it is barely bright enough to detect with the naked eye. #Moon #BronzeAge #NebraSkyDisc #archeoastronomy #astrology #Antikythera #stargazing #Lunar
#Nightly #Lunascope Jun 23 – The Milky Way is visible in summer, but dark sky is needed. Some cultures see birds in its pattern, and it is roughly in the direction of bird migrations, leading to the name ‘the Birds Path’. #Moon #BronzeAge #NebraSkyDisc #archeoastronomy #astrology #stargazing #Lunar
#Nightly #Lunascope Jun 22 – The newspaper stories of the Great Moon Hoax of 1835 may be plagiarism of an Edgar Allen Poe tale. Poe’s was obviously tongue-in-cheek, but the Hoax fooled many more readers. #BronzeAge #NebraSkyDisc #archeoastronomy #astrology #Antikythera #stargazing #Lunar
#Nightly #Lunascope Jun 21 – We imagine looking down on maps, but star charts are meant to be held aloft and viewed while looking up, so East and West are opposite where many people expect them to be. #Moon #BronzeAge #NebraSkyDisc #archeoastronomy #astrology #Antikythera #stargazing #Lunar
#Nightly #Lunascope Jun 20 – Tonight the Sun sets and then rises further north than on any other night of the year. While well-know to ancient astronomers, it was not the basis of most calendars – the Moon was. #BronzeAge #NebraSkyDisc #archeoastronomy #astrology #Antikythera #stargazing #Lunar
#Nightly #Lunascope Jun 19 – Janis Joplin’s ‘Half #Moon’ was on her ‘Pearl’ album, released posthumously in 1971. The album was at the top of the Billboard charts for nine weeks. #BronzeAge #NebraSkyDisc #archeoastronomy #astrology #Antikythera #stargazing #Lunar
#Nightly #Lunascope Jun 18 – When the #Moon is half-illuminated, the phase is ‘first-quarter’ or ‘third-quarter’ moon. The word ‘moon’ refers to the #lunar month. Look for imperfections along the lunar terminator tonight. #BronzeAge #NebraSkyDisc #archeoastronomy #astrology #Antikythera #stargazing
#Nightly #Lunascope Jun 17 – #Regulus means the little king, and is also known as the heart of the lion. Important in early astronomy because it is bright and close to the ecliptic. It will soon disappear for the summer months. #Moon #BronzeAge #NebraSkyDisc #archeoastronomy #astrology #Lunar
#Nightly #Lunascope Jun 16 – In ancient Greek mythology, Selene was the goddess and personification of the Moon. She was depicted driving a chariot with one or two horses, sometimes with wings. #BronzeAge #NebraSkyDisc #archeoastronomy #astrology #Antikythera #stargazing #Lunar
#Nightly #Lunascope Jun 15 – Chinese astronomer Gan De may have seen a #moon of Jupiter in -354. A fragment of his work describing an observation, could be about Ganymede or Callisto, centuries before Galileo. #BronzeAge #NebraSkyDisc #archeoastronomy #astrology #Antikythera #stargazing #Lunar
#Nightly #Lunascope Jun 14 – The arc on the #NebraSkyDisc looks more like a protractor than a boat. It traces the path of a circumpolar star, with ticks showing the celestial sphere's movement from one midnight to the next. #Moon #BronzeAge #archeoastronomy #astrology #Antikythera #stargazing #Lunar
#Nightly #Lunascope Jun 13 – Selenography is the study of the physical features and surface of the #Moon. It is at least as old as Democratis, who claimed in year -449 that mountains and valleys caused what we see. #BronzeAge #NebraSkyDisc #archeoastronomy #astrology #Antikythera #stargazing #Lunar
#Nightly #Lunascope Jun 12 – Tatum O’Neal won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress in 1973 for playing Addie in Paper Moon. At age 10, she was the youngest winner in Oscar history, and remains so today. #BronzeAge #NebraSkyDisc #archeoastronomy #astrology #Antikythera #stargazing #Lunar
#Nightly #Lunascope Jun 11 – Nocturnal hunting is affected by the #Moon’s phase and light it provides. As science is learning, this affects prey behaviour, including timing of births in cattle domesticated in the #BronzeAge. #NebraSkyDisc #archeoastronomy #astrology #Antikythera #stargazing #Lunar
#Nightly #Lunascope Jun 10 – As seen from some parts of the world, the #Moon occults Antares. From Nebra, the two move apart. Antares has a reddish hue and irregular changes in brightness. #BronzeAge #NebraSkyDisc #archeoastronomy #astrology #Antikythera #stargazing #Lunar
#Nightly #Lunascope Jun 9 – Different cultures see different things in the #Moon's patterns of light and dark, including a rabbit or two. Moon rabbits feature in folklores of China, Indigenous America, India, and more. #BronzeAge #NebraSkyDisc #archeoastronomy #astrology #stargazing #Lunar
#Nightly #Lunascope Jun 8 – Seeing #Mercury is difficult under ideal conditions, and impossible in much of the modern world. If you find a good view, about a half hour after sunset, #Jupiter is nearby. #Moon #BronzeAge #NebraSkyDisc #archeoastronomy #astrology #Antikythera #stargazing #Lunar
#Nightly #Lunascope Jun 7 – Knowth, in County Meath, Ireland, is a large burial complex containing many examples of megalithic art, including the oldest depiction of the #Moon’s surface. #BronzeAge #NebraSkyDisc #archeoastronomy #astrology #Antikythera #stargazing #LunarCalendar #HeyDiddleDiddle
#Nightly #Lunascope Jun 6 – #Spica and the #Moon are close together for most of us, but because of parallax - viewing from different angles - you can see an total occultation if you are a penguin, very far south of India. #BronzeAge #NebraSkyDisc #archeoastronomy #astrology #Antikythera
#Nightly #Lunascope Jun 5 – #BrunoMars released “Talking to the #Moon” in 2010, on his debut EP. A slow ballad with lush production, it met with mixed reviews. A TV serial drama helped it reach #1 in Brazil. #BronzeAge #NebraSkyDisc #archeoastronomy #astrology #Antikythera
#Nightly #Lunascope Jun 4 – We see the #lunar terminator through the Mare Imbrium, the Sea of Storms, and Mare Nubrium, the Sea of Clouds. Copernicus Crater splits the two. We would see a very slow sunrise if we were on the #Moon. #BronzeAge #NebraSkyDisc #archeoastronomy #astrology #Antikythera
#Nightly #Lunascope Jun 3 – There are several reports from history, of flashes on the #Moon, notably from five monks in 1178. Long disputed, modern intruments are recording flashes, supporting the monks. #BronzeAge #astronomy #NebraSkyDisc #archeoastronomy #Antikythera #stargazing
