Q

 

[Shominy]

Oh yes I do. I do occasional Doing too. Furthest catch from sc PA has been WCCO in Minneapolis at 830Khz- not a lot of competing stations locally. I have a Select-A-Tenna to help.

TPBM has done SW DXing.

 

[SuperjazzyJa]

I have no idea what that is.


TPBM was aware, before reading this post, that it will be a full moon tonight.

 

[Shominy]

I am. Contemplated it last night from atop the roof and saw that it was almost there.

TPBM knows what the moon's motion in the gif above is called, and its cause.

 

[SuperjazzyJa]

I probably did at one time. Not recalling at the moment.


TPBM would like to know how I made the GIF which I will gladly explain if asked.

 

[tybrad]

Sure. I am asking.

TPBM has cut themselves within the past couple of days.

 

[old_tv_nut]

No, thank God.

TPBM has shared pics of the grandkids in the past week.

 

[SuperjazzyJa]

Don't have grandyounguns yet.


TPBM has a few grandrugrats.

Sure. I am asking.

I downloaded an app called "LunaSolCal" which tells the sunrise and sunset times each day along with the moonrise and set and its phase. There is a picture of the moon in next to the info about it. I took screen shots of everyday from Sept 17 (last new moon) to Oct 1 (full moon) and cropped each one to show only the moon. I then created a GIF of the cropped images.

 

[screenersam]

nope.

der nextun skywatches (weather permitting)

nice lunar sequence Ja. technical term 'phases'?

 

[Shominy]

DNU

technical term 'phases'?

Called Libration and is caused by the gravitational tidal lock between Earth and moon. We actually see 9% more than half the moon due to the wobble seen in the gif.


Yes, I skywatch.

TPBM like libation while watching libration.

 

[Quadman2]

Indulging during earth's rotation when in motion or just with a notion I do so.

Not necessarily, although I do wish he would keep time with the music, he's off the beat.

TPBM looks forward to raking leaves.

 

[harman/kardon]

Yes, it is a kind of contemplative activity.

TPBM did not went mushroom-picking this year, because the soil in the woods was too dry.

 

[screenersam]

false. I didn't pick mushrooms, not because of the weather but I don't know which are okay. I wish I had someone to point out the good ones to me.

[Shominy]

One dog, one cat- neither mine.

TPBM has had a Mach wedge pass them.
