I don’t like those kinds of topics

2019-05-21 00:53:27 UTC  

Too many variables

2019-05-21 00:53:47 UTC  

and look into daytime moon crescents

2019-05-21 00:54:37 UTC  

Moonlight isn't the sun's reflection

2019-05-21 00:54:43 UTC  

very interesting

2019-05-21 00:54:49 UTC  

Oh there’s actually a really fun and simple test you can do with the daytime moon

2019-05-21 00:54:55 UTC  

....

2019-05-21 00:55:28 UTC  

Sometimes it works out and sometimes its off a bit

2019-05-21 00:55:29 UTC  

If you hold a ball up to the moon as close to it as you can. You will see that the terminatorline (light to shadow) always matches that on the moon.

2019-05-21 00:55:48 UTC  

@zep tepi you cant always do that

2019-05-21 00:55:49 UTC  

On a clear day when both the sun and moon are out

2019-05-21 00:55:57 UTC  

Yes but...

2019-05-21 00:56:26 UTC  

?

2019-05-21 00:57:14 UTC  

I will try if there is a waning or waxing daytime crescent and the sun is opposite of the moon if my ball has half a shadow on it...

2019-05-21 00:57:39 UTC  

👍🏻

2019-05-21 00:57:51 UTC  

I can already give you an answer..

2019-05-21 00:58:03 UTC  

I've got a good observation from morning time when the sun was below the horizon (was just getting light) to the east rising....the moon was to the west about 45 degrees above horizon. I documented the moon light was left upper when it should of been left lower

2019-05-21 00:58:04 UTC  

Just try it

2019-05-21 00:58:11 UTC  

I will

You want to hold the ball in a straight line between your eyes and the moon as close as possible. If you know what i mean @United Netherlands

2019-05-21 00:59:35 UTC  

You can’t obviously block the moon with the ball but hold it as close as possible

2019-05-21 01:00:37 UTC  

What if the sun and the moon are opposite of each other in the sky? daytime, what phase does the moon have?

2019-05-21 01:00:50 UTC  

Check out the second half of that video

2019-05-21 01:01:03 UTC  

Can you put a timestamp?

2019-05-21 01:01:07 UTC  

The moon terminator line observation

2019-05-21 01:01:12 UTC  

Its only 2 min

2019-05-21 01:01:18 UTC  

was a week ago here in NL, waxing crescent moon phase

2019-05-21 01:01:29 UTC  

oh:p

2019-05-21 01:01:33 UTC  

1:05

2019-05-21 01:01:50 UTC  

@United Netherlands it doesn’t matter so long as the sun and moon are both out and no clouds blocking the sunlight

2019-05-21 01:02:04 UTC  

Ive made a few of these observations

2019-05-21 01:02:05 UTC  

so full moon?

2019-05-21 01:02:18 UTC  

No it doesn’t matter what phase

2019-05-21 01:02:28 UTC  

You just need a moon in the daytime

2019-05-21 01:02:48 UTC  

I’ll watch it Z

2019-05-21 01:02:59 UTC  

Watch that observation then look all.the time to make your own

2019-05-21 01:03:06 UTC  

Its very interesting

2019-05-21 01:03:09 UTC  

K

2019-05-21 01:03:48 UTC  

I'm off guys, be well

2019-05-21 01:04:49 UTC
