FULL MOONRISE TIMES and LOCATIONS– BLACK OAK LAKE – 2023
WE ADD A NEW PIECE OF INFORMATION THIS YEAR, THE DIRECTION TO LOOK FOR THE RISING MOON. HAVE YOU EVER BEEN AWAITING THE RISE TIME AND NEVER SEEN IT ONLY TO LEARN LATER THAT THE MOON ROSE WELL NORTH OR SOUTH OF WHERE YOU WERE EXPECTING IT? NEVER AGAIN! THE DIRECTION TO LOOK NOW FOLLOWS EVERY RISE TIME BELOW. USE YOUR COMPASS APP ON YOUR PHONE AND LOOK IN THE DIRECTION LISTED….WORKS PERFECTLY!
RISE TIMES ARE DAYLIGHT OR STANDARD AS THE DATE REQUIRES. THESE ARE THE TIMES THAT THE RISING MOON FIRST BREAKS THE HORIZON. ALLOW ABOUT 5 MORE MINUTES FOR IT TO APPEAR ABOVE THE TREES ON THE EAST SHORE. IN CASE YOU MISS IT HERE IS THE URL FOR A SPECTACULAR 3+ MINUTE VIDEO OF A VERY FULL MOONRISE: https://vimeo.com/58385453. ..
AS YOU WATCH THIS VIDEO YOU’LL SWEAR THAT A RISING FULL MOON IS LARGER THAN ONE THAT IS OVERHEAD. THAT IS A MYTH AND YOU CAN PROVE THAT WITH AN ODD EXPERIMENT. THE NEXT TIME YOU SEE AN APPARENTLY OVERSIZED FULL MOON RISING…..TURN YOUR BACK TO IT. THEN BEND OVER AND LOOK AT IT THROUGH YOUR LEGS. YOU’LL SEE IT AT ITS NORMAL SIZE……………………………………………….YOU MIGHT WANT TO WAIT UNTIL NO ONE IS AROUND BEFORE YOU TRY THIS!
