This is due to the inclination of its orbit, but it will be many years before the full moon is that high again. Incidentally, although thre is no midnight sun in the Shetlands, in the far north of the islands, the moon last night (or last day) never set . Jack |

I noticed how small it looked (as an antidote to all those observations last year (was it?) when the full moon, low in the sky, looked so big. Incidentally, although thre is no midnight sun in the Shetlands, in the far north of the islands, the moon last night (or last day) never set . Fascinating. Philip |

This feature is related to the 18.6 year lunar noday cycle (in which we are currently at an extreme) and there is a useful summary here. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunar_standstill -- Mike 55.13°N 6.69°W Coleraine posted to uk.sci.weather 03/01/2007 10:20:32 GMT |
