 Do they need to hire someone who understands the phases of the moon there?

The idiocy of script writers spoiled the first time I saw Ladyhawke. When
there was that riddle about a day that is not a day, a night that is not a 
night, I yawned and thought solar eclipse. But then they showed an 
almost-full moon, three days before that event, and I suddenly thought that
it should be something else - maybe the SN 1054, the Crab Supernova. Of
course, they decided to ignore science and put a trivial solar eclipse :-/
