Astronomy Notes
By OLAF HALVERSON
The full moon of October 19 is
called the hunter’s moon. Its path
around the earth makes the small
est angle with the eastern horizon
at this time of the year. There is
a similar situation at the time of
the full moon in September when
it is called the harvest moon.
The fall of the year is the time
of least retardation of the moon.
By least retardation, we mean
that it rises only 30 minutes later
each evening, while the average
at other times of the year is 50
minutes.
This phenomenon is brought
about by the small angle that the
moon’s orbit makes with the hor
izon at this time of the year. Ap
proaching the tropics, where the
ecliptic and the equator stand
more nearly vertical to the hori
zon, the phenomenon is less pro
nounced. Hunters in the north
find this phenomenon helpful to
them.
