The text explains the rare phenomenon, in which the azimuths of moonrise and moonset are more extreme. This situation allows us to see distant landscape features with the lunar disk beyond. Learn more about the lunar standstill and its frequency across the centuries. The changes in moonrise/moonset azimuths can give you a clue of how some Megalithic constructions have been set and how the Moon’s path across the sky would have looked like thousands of years before. Moreover, the declination of the Moon isn’t the same. It changes significantly because of the parallax.

Practically, I miss some of them because of a lack of funds or, at the very least, decent webcams in the areas where they occur. Last, my scientific conundrum isn’t covered by anyone who attends on-site. Therefore, the … Read more
