No moon tonight why

I have watched shuttles slingshot off the moon too in 15 minute intervals I watched 5. It looks like a star rising from the moon and shooting off or dissappear ingredients only 1 at a time but for a minute there was 2.

I find the angle of the sun and moon highly unbelievable if light moves in a straight line. Truth is there's no such thing as a straight line as all motion is relative the earth is as much the center of the universe as any other point. I believe our universe is shaped like a magnetic field. Like all energy I believe light circles back to the source. Why is it always the side half of th e moon th at we see?. If The earth turned on 3 axis instead of one it would look like one to us as lon as rhey areally balanced.

I think the earth used to move half a spin on one axis. A third of a turn on another and a quarter turn on another. Hence why there are 13 moon phases in a year. A third minus a quarter is a twelfth. And a full rotation around the sun means it turned 13 times. Even the way scientists explain the earth would only spin It feel good to gain knowledge and through this blog I am gaining a lot of informative knowledge. Recently, a huge disaster happens in Japan like earthquake and tsunami.

Many scientists claims that it happens because moon is coming near to earth. Is it true? Hello, Divya, The Moon's position may cause higher than usual tides but there is not a scientific connection between the Moon's position and extreme weather or Japan's earthquake. To quote NASA astronomer, "At the time of the earthquake in Japan, the moon was actually closer to its furthest point in orbit from Earth than it was to its March 19 closest point, so the gravitational effect of the moon was, in fact, less than average at that time.

It was basically a normal day on Earth as far as the lunar gravity and tidal forces were concerned. Where science is defined as that which is known, I'm thinking that the statement "there is not a scientific connection between the Moon's position and extreme weather or Japan's earthquake" is valid, inasmuch as there is no known connection.

I had heard that little saying a long time ago, but couldn't remember how it went and couldn't seem to find it online! This age-old practice is based on the belief that plants respond to the gravitational pull of the Moon similar to the way that the oceans respond. This stimulates root and leaf growth, how the seeds sprout, and how the plants grow. According to many farmers, harvests are larger. Try it and let us know if it works for you! I never knew of that practice. I've been planting just before or on a new moon day or night with the idea that the gradual pull or stretch of the suns energy by the moon pulling to the opposite side of the earth helps pull the plants to life.

I also like to plant seeds around this time if an electrical storm is in the forecast I imagine the storm helps germinate the seeds. People say I have good luck with planting from seed but I like to imagine it's understanding.

While the moon isn't visible in the night sky at new phase, the dark, moonless sky will provide a great opportunity to see stars and planets — and possibly even the dim planet Uranus , which will be closest to Earth and shining at its brightest.

On the night of the new moon, Uranus will reach opposition, or the point in its orbit where it is directly opposite the sun in Earth's sky and fully illuminated, "effectively a 'full' Uranus," NASA said in a statement.

About every Celestial longitude is a projection of the Earth's longitude lines on the celestial sphere; when two bodes share the same longitude that is called a conjunction. If one draws a line from Polaris , the North Star due south toward the sun, that line also hits the moon.

Usually we see the illuminated side of the moon, but one can't see a new moon unless it passes directly in front of the sun, creating a solar eclipse.

This new moon won't be creating any eclipses — that will have to wait for Dec. The moon will reach perigee a day after the new moon, shortly after 6 p. The moon is an average distance of , miles , kilometers from the Earth, but the orbit of the moon isn't a perfect circle. On Nov. On the night of the November new moon, the sun sets in New York City at p. The planet is in the constellation Sagittarius, the archer , and won't set until p. In the Southern Hemisphere, the situation is a bit different; the sun sets at p.
