William Berchot was personally examined by the escheator, who finds he is 'manifestly an idiot, and has been so from his birth, nor does he enjoy lucid intervals, but, as he has heard, at
lunations is worse and raves with madness'.
B: 13 average
lunation periods = 54 weeks + 5d 21:32:43 1/3
However, the "average"
lunation is based not on observation but on the unseen, theoretical conjunction of sun, moon, and earth; it is easily calculable (by tracking lunar eclipses), which is part of why it eventually supplanted the observance of the new crescent in the Jewish calendar.
It is an alien model which exhibits a useful correlation between
lunations, phases of horticultural activity and Gregorian calendar months--but it is based on a comparison that does not arise in Torres people's minds.
Today's powerful
lunation can be a call to make that decision.
The same phenomenon regarding these two craters had been noted also at a previous
lunation. Stevinus seems particularly adapted to this observation, although other craters also show it.
For example, near the end of the novel, in the early-morning hours of June 17, 1904, Bloom describes the "moon invisible in incipient
lunation, approaching perigee" (Chapter 17).
If yesterday's potent
lunation encouraged productive dialogue on this very subject, this is certainly something to be welcomed Cancer.
We've recently installed a new CCD camera enabling us to image the entire observable sky from Flagstaff each
lunation. To date [2000 May], the LONEOS project has discovered 33 near-Earth asteroids and 8 comets.
One
lunation later, on March 18th at 10:35 UT, it goes 4.6[degrees] north.
Sagittarius Nov 23 Dec 21 The
lunation in your sector of dreams and wishes can inspire you to think carefully about whether certain desires are worth aiming for or not.
The scene is moody and atmospheric and provides a significant insight into the thought, values and philosophy of the observer --his feelings wrapped up in the bland yet vibrant comment, 'a long awaited opportunity under reasonable conditions.' (22) Although this sequence takes place each
lunation, observing it from the Earth is indeed a challenging assignment dependent on a number of factors, such as the exact position of the terminator, the Moon's declination, libration, local weather and the quality of seeing and so on.
