Luna Delicada aka 8% moon. Posted by Daniel H on September 17, 2023, 7:55 pm My favorite moon. Actually its not commonly known (in my world) by the name 8% moon, I had no idea what % it was until I looked it up. But now I know. https://www.timeanddate.com/moon/phases/

Re: Luna Delicada aka 8% moon. Posted by Daniel H on September 18, 2023, 8:42 pm, in reply to "Re: Luna Delicada aka 8% moon." I searched "traveling moon that catches water" with quotes and without and did not find a source. Do you have one? https://html.duckduckgo.com/html?q=traveling%20moon%20that%20catches%20water https://html.duckduckgo.com/html?q=%22traveling%20moon%20that%20catches%20water%22 From this latitude (20 North) there is nothing about the young moon that could catch anything as the opening is on the side. The question is what latitude does the moon lay on its back, able to catch water? I found some info that says around the equator How does the Moon look like from different latitudes of the Earth? - https://astronomy.stackexchange.com/questions/24711/how-does-the-moon-look-like-from-different-latitudes-of-the-earth Where are you? The Moon can tell you! https://rhea.ryanmarciniak.com/2015/05/where-are-you-the-moon-can-tell-you/ But surely that changes from the equinox to the winter or summer solstice.

Re: Luna Delicada aka 8% moon. Posted by Daniel H on September 19, 2023, 2:47 am, in reply to "Re: Luna Delicada aka 8% moon." Today's 16% moon looks more likely to catch something Wondering if our view of the moon does change with the time of year I did a little searching Do the seasons affect where the moon rises and sets? https://duckduckgo.com/?t=h_&q=Do+the+seasons+affect+where+the+moon+rises+and+sets%3F&ia=web How does the direction of the moonrise change? https://askanastronomer.org/planets/2015/11/13/moon-in-the-night-sky/ "The Moon’s pattern is close to that of the Sun’s. It orbits the Earth on a plane that is approximately 5.1 degrees offset from the orbital plane of the Earth around the Sun. This causes the position of the moonrise and Moonset to vary up to 28.6 degrees north or south (that’s 23.5+5.1 degrees)." Hmmm, going to have to let that sit for a bit before I can start running a mental model of it. I went to Night Sky and did a screen shot of where the young moon sets each month of the year. https://www.timeanddate.com/astronomy/night/ This is the Mexico City sky error photos
