Presumably it only winds upwards. A 6.8 to a 5.5 could be negative acceleration which on a pin-wheel means a lot. Just something to bear in mind from someone who is very easily confused.


Speaking of which, I remember going to this site that day:
http://astropixels.com/ephemeris/moo...l2001year.html
to check these:
Greatest Annual Lunar Standstills: 2001 to 2100; Opening the phases at the same time then getting distracted to distraction.
Somehow I got mixed up that the time of this phenomenon was a phase:
2015 Jan 18 06:17 -18.577

It is the lowest the moon's maximum declination gets in this cycle. 18.65 two weeks earlier:
Jan 3 17:53 18.650
And the next one is Decmber 2016.

Can this possibly be the reason for the volcanics?
Yes. And not only that but the cold winters we have had:

Check out the cold spells in March 2008.
And prepare for cold spells in October 2023.

No hang on... remember mne saying I was easily confused...

Even so I think it worth bearing in mind... nah.. this isn't right they are just the greatest for each year...
Oh bugger it sort it out for yourselves as you troll along.

I'm off.
26 January 2015 looks interesting on the NA-EFS and check out the North Atlantic whilst you are at it. Also the rotation in the North Pacific is back in the realms of Pluto.

That's it, I'm gone.
