So where is our moonalemma? I guess I have a Googling/Photography project

Thanks Bruce!
I knew that such a collision was a leading theory and it fits the
questions I had... I didn't realize "Theia" was presumably as large as
*Mars* nor that the same theories suggest that a number of such bodies
might have existed and the Earth likely experienced a *number* of such
Remember that the current consensus theory is that the Moon was ejected
from the Earth when a Mars-sized object struck the Earth. Almost all
objects in the Solar System lie in the same plane (the "ecliptic" plane),
associated with the original disk-like concentration of material. There's
no reason

While they HAVE noticed that the sunset/rise moves N and south along
the horizon in spring and fall, Few have noticed that the moon makes

Nice thing to notice...
My wife and I live very much by the sun, but not so much by the clock,
so while I have occasionally noticed artifacts of the complex relation
between sun, earth axial tilt, earth orbit, I had not (until you sent
this) recognized the implications so bluntly. I ha
FWIW
My favorite seasonal marker is December 7, when the AFTERNOONS start getting
longer. The MORNINGS don't start getting longer until January 4th or so.
On December 21 ... the solstice the mornings start getting longer
