Solstice Moon Illusion; Summer Theology
Wednesday, 18. June 2008, 14:19:39
First, the Solstice Moon Illusion. According to NASA it's happening tonight. They've posted a very thorough explanation, because they're nice people. By 'they', I clearly mean Dr. Tony Phillips, who is credited as the author of the page.
This should be awesome, especially because you can only see it with your eyes. If anyone goes to look, don't bother bringing a film camera, because apparently they won't capture the extra-super-large moon. Digital cameras might - the article isn't entirely clear on that point. The photo must have come from somewhere, although I suppose it could be one of their 'illustrations'.
It is called the Moon Illusion for a reason, I suppose. One of the many nifty charts lists moonrise times for various parts of the US. For Washington DC, look outside at 9.03 pm EDT.
Second, the totally unrelated picture attached to this post. This is about all the theology I'm interested in handling for the month of June. Aside from editing that paper, of course. My inner thirteen year old girl can't resist the urge to post an LOLCat every once in a while.
