Hi, my name is Ben Ten living in North America. I am a student of Bachelors Part – II and a book wormer. I interested in astronomy and I prefer to search for information about astronomy. I want to have some necessary knowledge about astronomy. I especially draw my attention in Planet Moon. I introduce my website, which contain the useful information about Moon planet and some Facts about planet Moon. There are also some pictures of Moon. I hope that, they will provide to you useful knowledge about astronomy in general and Moon in particular.

1. Misconceptions of Moon's Influence
Looking back at ancient history, our ancestors only had very little knowledge about
their environment as well as with the things that happens to them and their surroundings.
These occurrences include the Moon
and its different kind of phases. They
believe that it has a great effect in one’s
life. Ancient people believe that the
moon exerts such a strong and powerful
force when in fact they are only
experiencing a slight gravitational pull.
Science has already proven that a baby
in his mother’s embrace can exert
several million times of that tidal force
coming from moon. Nevertheless,
despite all the proven studies, many still
are inclined to this old mentality just the
same as many believes that the moon’s
lunatic haul can cause a tremendous
earthquake. That thinking is being depicted by science. In fact, one of those heavenly
bodies, neither the Sun nor the Moon, is capable of driving powerful forces towards
earth.
Another known fact on Moon is that its influence to cause tsunami (water
disturbance due o earthquake under the sea). However, never has it been logically proven
to cause any effects on bodies of human being. People who claim such support their
belief with the reason that human boy is greatly taken by water thus affecting human
behavior as well. This is just one of those many misconceptions on earth and definitely
has no scientific proofs. It is a valid explanation that the moon may have effects on the
unbounded bodies of water on the Earth’s surface but the water in one’s human body is
bounded as it is entirely enveloped. It is totally preposterous to say that heavenly bodies
particularly the moon exerts force deep within the skin of the body to invade human’s
individuality.
In connection to the misconception on moon affecting human behavior is that, when
it is full moon is that lunacy reigns. There is no given data from any hospital nor does
any police record that people turning lunatic during full moon. Also crime rate does not
increase during said moon phase. There also no given proof that woman is more fertile
when the moon is at its full phase. Maybe these data arose from casual observers but
those things can happen in greater numbers despite what phase the moon is. People can’t

2. just blame every weird occurrence to the moon’s phase. If such occurrences only happen
during this period of time, then blame can be attributed to the moon.
In addition, the misconception is perceived as the energy coming from the moon
influence approaches from the distance, not in any point is caused by the moon’s phase.
There is a certain phenomenon called Perigee, wherein the moon is described to be in the
position nearest to the Earth that disasters will happen at most. But the fact is that these
disasters can occur at any given time during the moon’s phase. It is also expected that
during this phenomenon there will be higher tides which are said to be caused by the
positioning of the Earth, moon and Sun. It is said to be caused by the powerful tidal
forces and that these forces are actually the combined powers of the moon's and the
Sun's, not just of the moon alone. There is this book written by Arnold Lieber who stated
that the catastrophes such as earthquake brought by the moon's energy but still there was
no such occurrence. Though a
prediction was formulated by him
about the earthquake happened in
California, all the things that took place
was not exactly as predicted.
Moon as the
Earliest Calendar
Back then, people had no real
means of telling what date it was along
with the hours of the day. What they
did have are “so-called” early calendars
which include the moon itself. But how
does it work? There are three (3) calendar systems that helped us track back those
written in the Old Testament. These are the Jewish, Mesoamerican and the Egyptian
calendars. Scientists have worked in knowing what was once used to measure time.
What was the Lord’s unit for time keeping then? How did ancient people dealt with time
observation?
Primary sections of the Old Testament declare days and years combined. The Old
Testament gives the initial truthful thoughts regarding time calculation and recording.
The differentiation of days from nights was defined in the book of Genesis. In this part of
the Holy Bible, the initial schedule of the first day started. The definition of God’s one (1)
week of creation given further emphasis on the basic usage of the calendar system. One

3. (1) week, consisting of seven (7) days is a basic religious idea. Moon has four phases that
signifies the four weeks each month.
We are digging on the times when people observe the movements of the sun, moon
and stars for further time recording. The Jewish datebook is very simple and very
comprehensible if you know well the numbers that were used. It is mainly formulated
through the chronological movements of the sun and moon combined ever since the very
first year of Creation. Modern tabled dates conclude this era as the B.C.E. or the "Before
Common Era". It also termed as the B.C. for "Before Christ." Time considering after
Christ was termed to as the A.D. meaning Anno Domini or After Divinity.
The age of Adam and Eve will
help in defining the Old Testament
and its importance to the calendar
information.
In Genesis 1:4 where God has
seen the light and had divided one
day into two parts which is the now
called the night and day. In here,
God stands in the middle of the light
and darkness in the literal point of
view of Hebrews. This phrase sets
the difference between the day and night.
In Genesis 1:5 As God has separated the light from darkness, the light was called
the day and the darkness was the night. The first night and day was derived to be the
very first day of the year. God has made two powerful lights in the sky, one to enlighten
our mornings and the other one to overcome the nights. The sunlight signifies day time
and moon light entails time greater than a day. The more powerful light among the two is,
of course, the sun.
God’s work of creation, mainly the separation of light from darkness is initial actions to
measure time according to basic principle of the original Jewish calendar. Datebooks,
schedules, and the one whole week of God’s creation served as inspiration and divine
references to the Holy Bible.
God has said to be rested on the seventh day. Again this moment describes the
division of time. Again, God has separated the light and darkness of the moon. Ongoing
duplication of happenings in a certain subject makes the holy correlation obvious
between particular divisions of the datebook. Shifting from one moon phase ends with a
beginning of the next moon phase is the most regarded unit of time dimension known.

4. Once in a Blue Moon
The saying “once in a blue moon” are often heard and said by us. It means very
rarely or there is a very least chance of a certain thing to happen. Where did this
particular expression originated? Often when asked, we’ll get two (2) usual answers:
- It is the third full moon in the calendar.
- It when the moon appears to be blue.
Let us start discussing the second
one first. Very rarely, the moon really
looks blue at times. It usually happens
after a volcano has erupted, like what
happened to Krakatao in the year 1883.
Tiny particles and elements in the air
might have been in the right extent to
send an illusion of blue lighting,
making the moon to appear red during
sunset, while bigger particles from the
volcanic eruption reflects red light
making the moon to look bluish in
color. Since this occurrence takes place
very rarely, it might have been the root
of the expression.
But most often than not, the term
once in a blue moon is used for things
or incidents that is quite impossible to happen. This expression that carries “very rarely”
meaning is being used way back in the medieval era in England.
Going to the first answer, blue moon can be referred to as the third full moon in a
season where there are four (4) full moons. Often, one (1) whole year has twelve (12)
full moons which occur approximately each month. Aside from those 12 lunar cycles (12
months), every solar calendar year has about eleven (11) days more than the year of the
12 months. These additional days are summing up, so every after two (2) or three (3)
years, an extra full moon appears. The expression regarding blue moon comes from
folklore.
Other possible origins of the term “Once in a Blue Moon”
- Another history where this term might have come from is in calculating the dates
for Easter & Lent where the Clergy identifies it as the Lent Moon. Historically, it
pertains to the early coming of the moon. This earlier moon was named as “betrayer
moon” (belewe moon).

5. - One folklore designated a name for each moon according to its time of the year.
The moon that came too early
had no folk name and so it was
called the blue moon,
maintaining the accurate
seasonal timing for the future
moons.
- As defined in the
Farmer’s Almanac, blue moon
is the extra full moon that
occurred in a particular
season. As stated above, each
season has 3 full moons. By
the time it reaches the fourth
then it is referred to as the blue
moon.
- Recently, blue moon
has been defined to as the
second full moon of the
calendar month. This though rooted from a certain interpretation error made in the year
1946, which was discovered in the year 1999. Upon using this notion, December 31,
2009 appeared that it was supposed to have a blue moon occurrence.
- Stating the metaphor about the blue moon is just the same as the aphorism that the
moon is mainly composed of green (or cream) cheese. This is totally ridiculous. During
the 19th century, this expression or metaphor simply means "never" or shall not happen
at all. The phrase today are said to mean "every now and then" or "rarely"—it doesn’t
matter where and how the phrase has gained its meaning as long as the thought on how it
was related to the lunar events is there.
