3 Mar Full Moon. 12 Mar Last Quarter.

= 9 day week.

= 9 day week.-

Yup, the Moon went thru apogee about the time of
the eclipse and it was moving slowly in its orbit. It's
currently acellerating and we will be back to a 7 day week
for the new moon on the 19th.

Checking my scrolls I find apogee was on Mar 7
at 4 h UT.

Anyone know how long it took to move from 99% visibility through 100%
to 99% again? IIRC, it normally takes something like 30 hours.

Weatherlawyer,

I ran it across my spreadsheet and found that the Moon
was 99.000000% full on Mar 2.9339. ( 22:24:49 UT)
It was 99.0% again on Mar 5.00805. (00:11:36)

That works to 49h 46m 47s.

It can be longer if the apogee is precisely between
the 99 percent increments.
