Like what Prof Thom (in the '70s) based much of his theories about stone circles and lunar alingnments on. -- M Stewart Milton Keynes, UK http://www.megalith.freeserve.co.uk/oddimage.htm |

Brighter Moon Tonight.........?
Hi Malcolm, Thats really cool! I have heard of Prof. Thom years ago, to do with ArcheoAstronomy but never bothered to read much about it.. How on earth would a supposedly illiterate society record and convey information about an 18.6 year cycle on into the future? Of what importance might it have been?

Presumably what they mean is that the *full* Moon is at it's highest around midnight tonight. There are plenty of non-full Moons that will equal this height in the coming months. -- Pete http://www.digitalsky.org.uk |

TIA, Mike. ©¿©¬ The BBC News24 news droid said the moon was going to be "brightest for 19 years" and "if you are in central London at midnight to go outside and have a look" Typical brainless News24 presenter drivel really, Sky News tends to be even worse though.
