Would anyone have the opportunity to
photograph the image of the full moon on
a church meridian this Tuesday?
The brilliance of this full moon should
be the best opportunity for a long
while. Next full moon will be farther
from the moon's perigee.
I know that the best time might be
midnight!

Tony, never again will we take you for granite. Your geology puns are
painful to a fault. I'm just joking, of quartz.

I think people who pun should be punished.
Enough! Back to topic. Weather permitting I shall certainly look at my
own sundial by moonlight at the solstice. Thanks for the tip.
Last night, I was looking at the moon. It was noticibly larger than the
night before. This was easy to judge, as it was very close to Jupiter and
Saturn which help as size references. These planets look to be about 10
degrees apart. So looking at the moon again tonight, it will be easy to

Hi Tony (Moss),
Just thought I'd let you know that I'm underway with some anodising
experiments (better than Xmas shopping, anyway!).
By following your instructions, I've succeeded in getting a nice yellow
finish on a 10x10cm square of aluminium. It's clearly an alloy of some
sort, but I don't
Roger,
I'm not sure of the exact time of Full Moon, but according to my Psion the
declination at midnight will be 19deg26min.
I hope that helps!

Roger,
I hope the information below is helpful. Note that because the moon is
so close there is an offset between the true geocentric coords. and
the apparent or topocentric coords., this effect is termed geocentric
parallax. See chap. 39 in Meeus for more details. The topocentric values
Dear all,
since my old e-mail address still will work almost until the end
of this year (maybe a little more time), I would like to give you my

Thank you
In regard to the excitement over the close perigee occuring when the earth is
closest to the sun (very close to the December solstice.) My local paper
made a comment that the Moon will appear 17% larger than a full moon last
summer (that is in June-July for you down underlings), but the full
When planning your solstice celebrations, the lunar perigee will be an
additional focus this year. An interesting point is that your sundials will
act as moondials on that night when the moon is full. The location of the
moon is directly opposite the sun so the time is displaced by 12 hours. By
I think I'd rather be a little bolder than a little boulder.

Does this mean that a rolling Moss gets no bolder?

I agree!
Punitive action should be taken at once!
