Default Re: Moon Week March 27th - April 5th 2009. International Year of Astronomy

ok, Im still sorting stuff out,
screenshots and other things.....

But I was just looking around,
in some "Knights Templar" stuff....

and came across this Symbol, belonging to them...


"Templar Lion and Moon Seal"

A cerescent Moon, with the Knights templar seal, above/on it.

I then remembered,
when I was looking at the "Rima hadley" area the other night through the scope,
the phase when the rima hadley area becomes visible, out from the dark...
a pic i took that night..


ohhh..... same crescent moon as the "Templar Lion and Moon Seal"...

I found it interesting,

that right as the Moon gets to this crescent phase....

is right when the Rima Hadley area becomes visible,
and bathed in light....

and we now see, through the help of JLW and Gridkeeper,
that there is an area of the moon, that only becomes visible once the Moon reaches this crescent phase...which looks like a Knight.


i find that extremely interesting... lol
