Welcome back Hugh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hope that you had a nice vacation.
 Quoting: Hugh M Eye


Actually I've been going through 7 layers of HELL. Long story....but my computer was hacked as a bonus to other disasters which have overtaken me in an unexpected way. I'm amazed to get internet today; believe it or not I've been trying to get on for 10 days now. Now my battery is going so I won't be here for long.

Thanks for the bananas anyhow. I really miss this thread and watching the Sun in detail. I suppose I missed a lot of action.
peace

Sorry about the computer...they either work well or a lot of trouble. If you were closer to calif I could help you with it.
welcome back.

Hey guys, I am a big follower of this thread although I don't have much knowledge on this topic...I rely on you guys.

I posted a thread with a question and a few of you seem extremely knowledgeable about this topic.

Please explain the physics of this to me if you understand...

Thread: Why does a crescent moon now look like a smile?

Thanks!!
 Quoting: Chic Fil A

Hey C F A
The reason the moon looks like a smile is because of the light reflection. The position of the moon relative to the sun and the earth determines its phase. The moon orbits around the earth, but isn't in the same plane as the earths orbit - it has vertical motion so it can be above or below. The sun is directly below, causing the smile. This configuration isn't common but it is normal. Its sometimes called a 'birdsnest moon'.

It's the time of year when the line joining Moon and Sun makes a steep angle with the horizon in the early evening. The Moon's illuminated portion will be pointing towards the Sun, so you will see a 'u' shaped crescent

Hey Hugh- Good you are back. Me,too. Someone hacked my rig, I got a back door intruder, really messed my computer up, got most of it fixed, but still a few problems keep surfacing. So I haven't been on GLP much either. I think the big guns are yet to come this week, so I will stay tuned if possible. The Sun isn't the only big show in town. Too much going on!
