there is a whole category of people who refuse to believe anything that can't be quantified.
and trying to explain those things to those people is, more often than not, a waste of time.
thanks for the heads up maxine.

The first lunar eclipse of 2006 is a deep penumbral event best visible from Europe and Africa. First and last penumbral contacts occur at 21:22 UT and 02:14 UT (Mar 15), respectively. The Moon's path through Earth's penumbra as well as a map showing worldwide visibility of the event is shown in Figure 1. Observers throughout most of North America will find the eclipse already in progress as the Moon rises on the evening of March 14. However, no eclipse will be visible from westernmost North America (Yukon, British Columbia, Alaska, Washington, Oregon and California) since the event ends there before moonrise. This particular event is unusual since it is a total penumbral eclipse. The whole Moon will lie completely within the penumbral shadow from 23:18 UT to 00:18 UT (Mar 15). According to Belgian eclipse expert Jean Meeus [1997] this is one of only five such events during the 21st century. Greatest eclipse occurs at 23:48 UT with a penumbral magnitude of 1.0565. At that instant, the Moon will stand midway in the penumbral shadow. The Moon's northern limb will lie 1.6 arc-minutes from the shadow's outer edge while the southern limb be 1.6 arc-minutes from the edge of the umbra.
Penumbral eclipses are difficult to observe, especially during the early and late stages. Nevertheless, a subtle yet distinct shading should be visible across the southern half of the Moon, especially during the two hour period centered on greatest eclipse.

What do you mean?smokeyeyes said:
Many of the posts in this thread claim a quantifiable impact of the moon on our daily lives -- higher crime and more accidents during a full moon, increased fertility for women depending on how their menstrual cycles overlap with lunar cycles.
There's a "whole category of people" who are simply interested in seeing the numbers to back up these quantifiable claims.

Nobody but you said anything about increased fertility. I didn't. I said there is a connection with a women's menstrual cycle and the moon.
You posted the following link:geminigirl said:

Charting Your Menstrual Cycle With The Moon To Uncover Your Lunar Fertility Cycle
"Many women feel that their menstrual cycles are inextricably bound to the cycles of the Moon. A number of women even compare their Ovulation dates with the dates of the Full Moon, believing they are more fertile when they ovulate with the Full Moon."
Seems pretty clear what the article is suggesting. You shouldn't have posted that particular link as evidence if you were suggesting something else.

i find if you're standing on Alexander facing East, you get a pretty good view of the moon at that hour.
i'll run home, roll a spliff, and then take a walk around that time - hopefully the freaking wind will die down and the wacko snow will go away...

Careful, if you look at it without the proper eye protection you could get pregnant.
