Discovery of calendrical properties operating in the / Ching that appear to bear a relation to a lunar year of thirteen cycles and to the zodiacal world year, as well as to sunspot cycles, suggests a possible historical speculation. The Chinese year has an average duration of 360 days. It is in essential agreement with the lunar Metonic year developed in fifth-century Athens. The thirteen-month lunar / Ching calendar is composed of 13 X... 

The Moon cruises through the zodiac faster than any other planet, so worrying about it as it spins through one sign after another can drive you crazy. Most transits of the Moon make no difference whatsoever and can be safely ignored. Nevertheless, a few monthly lunar transits offer opportunities that are too valuable to miss. Here are the top five monthly influences ...

Exploration Systems Architecture Study (Anonymous, 2005). Two heavy lift LOX/LH2 rockets would launch from Earth, one carrying the astronauts and crew exploration vehicle (CEV), and one carrying the Earth Departure Stage (EDS), Lunar Service Access Module (LSAM), LSAM ascent and descent stages, and equipment for the 6 month Lunar surface mission. Therefore, both systems carry onboard all the propellant required for the entire mission, which increases the size of the launch system dramatically. 

Cycles established as statistically real are the familiar annual and diurnal radiation/temperature cycles, a quasibiennial (about every 2 years) fluctuation in various climatic elements, and the interannual variability of June rainfall in northern India. The first merely means that winters are cooler than summers and nights are cooler than days. Examples of the second cycle include Midwestern rainfall, a lengthy temperature record from central England, and winds over the western Paciflc and eastern Indian Ocean. According to Campbell et al (19), the third cycle may be a response to the monthly solar-lunar tide and its influence on the monsoon circulation. 

Many believe that the Earth is like an inmate waiting on death row. Even if we do not die by a comet or asteroid impact, we know the Earth s days are numbered. The Earth s rotation is slowing down. Far in the future, day lengths will be longer than today s months. The Moon will hang in the same place in the sky, and the lunar tides will stop. 

As the work with the salts progresses, you can blend together equal volumes of the alcohol and vinegar in a "roomy" glass vessel, seal it and allow it to circulate for a Lunar cycle. At the end of the month, add the dry and powdered salts to the cooled liquid slowly. Re-seal the container and allow this to circulate for another Lunar cycle. At the end of this second cycle, carefully distil the whole mixture to dryness. 

Dissolve the sublimate in rainwater and let it settle. You will see a red to brown fine solid fall to the bottom. This solid contains the Lunar Sulfur. Decant off the clear liquid and save it. Wash the solids several times with rainwater then place the solids into a dish to dry. Collect together all of the dried solid as a powder then extract it with rectified wine alcohol (95% or better) for a month. The resulting clear, golden alcohol extract is a Tincture of Silver and contains the Lunar Sulfur for use. Your Sal Ammoniac can be recovered for future use by evaporating the liquid you decanted from the solids earlier. 

It is established, therefore, that striking correlations exist between a count of 6 X 64 days and lunar motion. The 384-day year is a lunar year of thirteen lunar months. Such a lunar year has been determined to be 383.9 days or. 1 day less than 384 days. Therefore, the cycle loses 2.4 hours (. 1 day) each 384 days. If one were to adopt 384-day-long years as a calendar and insert one intercalary day every ten of such years, making every tenth year 385 days long, this calendar would lose one day every 454.5 of its years. Thus, the calendar would be accurate to. 0022 day loss per 384-day year. This is accurate indeed as calendars go. 

The earliest Chinese dynasty whose calendar is known is the Chou. According to W. Eberhard, a 384-day year did exist in late Chou times, although it was regarded as an intercalary year with the usual year of twelve months being 354 days. Seven such intercalary years were inserted in every nineteen years, that is, into the Lunar Metonic cycle (W. Eberhard, personal communication, 1974). This mixed calendar may represent a transition form from an earlier time when years of 384 days were used exclusively. 

Observations of the Moon from Earth, reveal different phases of the Moon with respect to the percentage of lunar surface reflecting sunlight back to Earth. As the Moon orbits Earth, it comes between Earth and the Sun once a month at the time of a new Moon, and orbits Earth in very nearly the same plane that the Earth orbits the Sun. If the Moon s orbital plane had zero tilt off the Earth s orbital plane, a total lunar eclipse would be visible every month. 

The periods of the haemorrhoids, or piles, in fome recur monthly, in others only at the greater lunar influence about the equinoxes. 

The manufacture of primitive stone tools and fire required a qualitative appreciation for the most common measures of mass, time, number, and length. The concept of time has been appreciated for millennia. In comparative terms it is qualified by longer and shorter, sooner and later, more or less. Quantitatively, it has been measured in seconds, hours, days, lunar months, and years. Calendars have existed for well over 6000 yr and clocks—instruments to measure time intervals of less than a day—were common as long as 6000 yr ago. Chronometers are devices that have higher accuracy and laboratory models have a precision of 0.01 s.
