February to Be Month without Full Moon

An eclipse season is a period of approximately 1 month, occurring roughly every six months, when the orbits of the Earth, Sun, and Moon align such that solar and lunar eclipses occur. Eclipse seasons are the result of the axial parallelism of the Moon's orbital plane (tilted five degrees to the Earth's orbital plane), just as Earth's weather seasons are the result of the axial parallelism of Earth's tilted axis as it orbits around the Sun. During the season, the "lunar nodes" – the line where the Moon's orbital plane intersects with the Earth's orbital plane – align with the Sun and Earth, such that a solar eclipse is formed during the new moon phase and a lunar eclipse is formed during the…

There are 16 known moons of the planet Neptune, fourteen of which are named after water deities and creatures in Greek mythology. The largest is Triton, discovered by William Lassell on 10 October 1846, 17 days after the discovery of Neptune itself. Over a century passed before the discovery of the second natural satellite, Nereid, in 1949, and another 40 years before Proteus, Neptune's second-largest moon, was discovered in 1989. Triton is unique among moons of planetary mass in that its orbit is retrograde to Neptune's rotation and inclined relative to Neptune's equator, which suggests that it did not form in orbit around Neptune, but was instead gravitationally captured by it. The next-l…

A total lunar eclipse occurred at the Moon’s ascending node of orbit on Wednesday, January 31, 2018, with an umbral magnitude of 1.3155. A lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon moves into the Earth's shadow, causing the Moon to be darkened. A total lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon's near side entirely passes into the Earth's umbral shadow. Unlike a solar eclipse, which can only be viewed from a relatively small area of the world, a lunar eclipse may be viewed from anywhere on the night side of Earth. A total lunar eclipse can last up to nearly two hours, while a total solar eclipse lasts only a few minutes at any given place, because the Moon's shadow is smaller. Occurring about 1.4 days aft…

Shravana is the fifth month of the Hindu lunar calendar and the Indian national calendar. The name of the month is derived from the position of the Moon near the Shravana nakshatra (star) on the full moon day. The month corresponds to the monsoon (Varsha) season and falls in July–August of the Gregorian calendar. In the Hindu solar calendar, it corresponds to the month of Karkata and begins with the Sun's entry into Cancer. It corresponds to Srabon, the fourth month in the Bengali calendar. In the Tamil calendar, it corresponds to the fifth month of Avani, falling in the Gregorian months of August–September. In the Vaishnav calendar, it corresponds to the fifth month of Sridhara. In the Hin…

Purnima (Sanskrit: Pūrṇimā) represents the lunar phase of full moon in the Hindu calendar. A calendar month ends on purnima as per the purnimanta tradition of the Hindu lunar calendar. Various Hindu beliefs and festivals are associated with the purnima day of various months.

The full moon is the lunar phase when the Moon appears fully illuminated from Earth's perspective. This occurs when Earth is located between the Sun and the Moon (when the ecliptic longitudes of the Sun and Moon differ by 180°). This means that the lunar hemisphere facing Earth—the near side—is completely sunlit and appears as an approximately circular disk. The full moon occurs roughly once a month. The time interval between a full moon and the next repetition of the same phase, a synodic month, averages about 29.53 days. Because of irregularities in the moon's orbit, the new and full moons may fall up to thirteen hours either side of their mean. If the calendar date is not locally determi…

Medical Support Provided by the UN's Scandinavian Allies during the Korean War.. The humanitarian motivation of medical support from the three Scandinavian countries during the Korean War cannot be doubted, but the countries also had to be politically sensitive during this period. The fact that these countries only dispatched medical support, and that the team was not only for military purpose but also intended to help the civilians is a different point from the U.S. military medical support, which distinguished military medical support that is the U.S. Eighth Army, from the civilian treatment and relief, which is the UNCACK. In addition, medical support activities from the Scandinavian cou…
