Phases of Moon and Venus

Here i am trying to explain basic astronomy to everybody. From the little i know.

First let me make sure, in the era of NASA that everybody knows what Sun, Earth, Venus and Moon are. Because everything i found is not near good enough for all to understand so i can't just link to something.

Sun is a true star, not like Venus which is called morning or evening star (because it appears as a star but is actually an illuminated planet, at a distance much closer than real stars).

It is made of hydrogen and helium and undergoes a continuous fusion reaction which slowly turns hydrogen into helium (yes, transmutation), over billions of years. It is very hot inside, cooler at the surface again hotter at the corona and it radiates light and other forms of radiations which are luckily caught by Earth's magnetic field and atmosphere before they can reach us.

It is very large when compared to Earth or Moon but it appears roughly at the same diameter with Moon because of the distance of course. For comparison, it takes light about 8 minutes to reach us from Sun and about one second from Moon. 2 to 14 minutes from Venus because it evolves, like Earth, around the Sun.

Yes, if  you would say hello on a radio, a guy on Moon will  hear it after one second and on Venus after between 2 and 14 minutes, depending on the position of the two planets on their orbits around Sun at that time.

While Sun (and giant planets like Jupiter) is made of gas, the 4 inner planets (with orbits around Sun closer than Mars) are solid balls of rock (at least at the surface).

We could say Moon is in our backyard, being the closest planet to Earth and the only one to orbit around it. At 1/6 the mass of Earth, i think we should call it a companion planet rather than a (natural) satellite because they rather wobble against each other, Earth being attracted by the Moon as well (a little).

Here is an intuitive model of the sizes of the planets. if Sun was an orange, Earth would be a grain of mustard and Moon a grain of poppy. Yes i was very shocked when i first heard about this model, in grade school and ever since when i look at the sky and see one of them other planets i try to adjust my perception with it.

And now lets get down to what's really wrong what is really important at least for Luciferian religions, all based on first Innana which in time turned to Ishtar and then into Venus with Lucifer being just another name for it

Here is a video showing the phases of the Moon. The phases of the Moon is what we see of it. The area of the planet illuminated by Sun in different days of a lunar cycle (of 29.5 days).

In the video Sun does not appear at all, being at such enormous distance (on the left) when compared to distance between Earth and Moon. The distance between Earth and Moon is shown much smaller, or the Moon appears much closer to Earth so it can fit in the video while keeping the scale only for Earth and Moon to show at reasonable sizes to see the illumination.

Here is a more realistic (nominal) representation of the sizes of the two planets and distance between them.

While Earth orbits around the Sun too, the video simplifies that (or it uses a reference system intrinsic to Earth). The model is good enough only to explain illumination of Moon at different times of the cycle and its apparent "phases" which basically are the difference in illuminated size from one night to another.

All of the above is straight forward. But let's now see a video that shows phases of Venus. In this video Sun is also shown at a much closer distance to the two planets compared to diameters.

Everything is exaggerated one way or another, just to make them all fit in the frame. But the way we see Venus (like through binoculars or a small telescope) is real. It takes years for a full cycle. But what's important is the greater cycle or when Earth and Venus get in the same position after 8 years. Or the number of "rays" in the star of Ishtar. Or degrees in Scientology.

Moon rotating around Earth is not shown at all, to simplify the model.

 

It appears Sumerians, way before Romans had a way of counting the days and years without using the Moon, all based on Venus phases, thus having a precise way to calculate day of the year, most importantly, time for sowing. Of course they were using tallies, but they needed a reference and a reliable backup (what if the priest got drunk and forgot to mark one or two or ten days in a year).

Today in the era of GPS we are all taking the calculation of time and date for granted, but back then it was a big deal.

And they of course were grateful to the star for that and had temples and priests that could watch Ishtar and its phases. And yes, a small number of people with good sight can see the phases, especially the crescents, with the naked eye.

While other people in Far East for example used (and still use) a Moon calendar, which is awkward at least to say, because Moon cycle is not even an even number of days, and there are more than 12x29.5 days in a year, constantly needing correction, romans started to use what we currently use or an Earth calendar, based on an Earth cycle around the Sun, the "months" having slightly different number of days, greater than 29, for constant corrections, to make it both for the tradition of a Moon calendar and still have 12 months in a full real year.

But it does not have anything to do with the Moon anymore. Wondering if didn't have to do with Romans adopting Venus as well.

Actually i think more people then realize can see Venus phases. Most never looked and many don't even know what to look for. But if you look at the western evening sky right after Sunset you can see the brightest object there and some would have, like me, a feeling that something is not right, because what you see is not round but has corners (yes i need glasses, 1.25 for the computer monitor but can still see well in the distance).

I once even took a picture of it with my Kodak held still on the dashboard with optical zoom at max and very long exposure time (by trials) and if  you zoom into that you can see the phase..,

Tonight in Portland Venus is setting at around 9 PM, depending on the terrain. About ten more minutes. Here are some screenshots with the marvelous software called Stellarium. It amazes me every time, the way it can show, calculate and predict the movements of stars and planets.

Venus is now at the left of the Sun as seen from Earth and is getting close to a crescent phase, pretty much like when i took that picture linked above. The bright side of course indicates the direction of Sun illumination.

...as for the part of symbolism of Ishtar star and how it all evolved into a full blown religion with the many aspects of the Goddess, will continue at a later time...

August 11

5:25 AM Doar pentru că am menționat că Spania este în topul țărilor din Europa ce exploatează ilegal apa subterană.

Din toată apa dulce (fresh water) de pe Terra, 60% se află în calotele glaciare și ghețari, 30% în acvifere și doar 1% în lacuri și râuri.

Dunărea este secată și pentru că se infiltrează la o rată mare în subteran datorită golirii acviferului pe toată lungimea ei prin acest tip de exploatări ilegale de care nu vorbește nimeni. Ce-i interesează pe oameni în presă este prințesa Diana, al cărui nume este legat de asemenea despre postările mele despre alchimie esoterică și ocultism, în principal Dianetics din Scientologie.

Ei și-au făcut de mulți ani obiceiul de a acoperi, pe cuvinte cheie dar subiecte aiurea toate postările mele. Apropo, data la postările mele se găsește la sfârșit.

Pe subiectul Polanski.

Alte știri bizare cu și despre apă, o urmare la ambulanța neagră, etc., grupate pe site-ul B1.

5:55 Dar cea mai bizară coincidență dintre toate este cutremurul de 7,4 grade din Columbia. (Care pe mulți îi deranjează pentru amânarea para-meciurilor).

6:00 Figurile astea de bodyguards îngrijorați mențin scandalul inventat cu ambulanța neagră de pe tiktok doar pentru a găsi prilej de a începe în sfârșit cenzurarea internetului. Astea sunt chestiile care îi deranjează foarte mult în sesiunea extraordinară, mult mai mult decât... lipsa unui guvern, secarea Dunării sau legea salariilor.

6:00 Ei țin în șah bugetarii cu această lege a salarizării (bugetarilor) care trenează de luni de zile. 770 milioane (0.77 miliarde). Numai Ministerul Învățământului are un buget de 65 miliarde din care doar 36 se duc pe salarii. Unde sunt restul?

7:00 Doi bărbați angajați?

7:15 Spunea cineva în România că lumea crede mai mult știrile ficționale decât pe cele reale. Poate să-mi spună cineva dacă această știre este reală?  Out of view of the media? Adică pe partea cealaltă a a avionului? Și media nu vedea acel vehicul pe sub avion?

Dacă exista o amenințare credibilă (active security threat) înseamnă că a riscat viața celor rămași să zboare cu Air Force 1, folosindu-i ca momeală (decoy).

1:00 PM You think you heard enough from me? Wait until you hear this one.

I am battling for about a month or more a small leak at the transmission. In the past i changed the fluid i think twice by replacing half of it three times, a wasting method that changes i don't know, 75% of it. Though i believe if you go for a transmission service they still have to flush it with new fluid and then "recycle" some.

Changing transmission fluid is not like changing oil, where you can remove all oil and add new one. About half of it still stays in there and you have to drive the car, do it again several times, but i think they have a machine that can flush it from there but also with some waste.

Anyways. Most newer cars don't have anymore a dipstick for the transmission. I mean, even if they did, it would be hard to reach because transmission is under some other parts. They call them "sealed" transmissions and most manufacturers and/or dealers don't recommend a fluid change until the car is out of warranty. The fluids are more and more performant with super high fluidity and locking converter that spares the fluid while not shifting.

In the not so distant past middle class people in the US could afford to replace a car when it was going out of warranty by trading in the old one for some price reduction on the new etc..

I hear nowadays average age of cars on the street is 12 years? also because the cars are made better so they last longer.

My car had 70k when i got it after it was totalled twice. I put one more hundred k miles on it. One of the problems this car had when i got it was hesitations and jerking while shifting. I think it was low on fluid but i will never know for sure. I drained as i said half of it, by sucking it with a pump, three or four times, and kast time i kept adding until symptoms disappeared. I think i used 12 quarts in total.

One time i thought i added too much and drained some, etc.. In the end i bought a (cheap) scanner with real time sensor reading just to check temperature of fluid because overfilling can cause overheating, Then i added some more and things were settled. About a year ago. Did about 20k miles since with no problems.

In the meantime i developed a method of adding fluid without removing the parts that are in the way to reach the filler plug. I use two 3/8 extensions which is squeeze in there and unlock the plug. You have to turn it 1/4 turn or 90 degrees, set it at an angle and gently pull it careful not to drop it in the engine compartment which is so crowded you could not find anymore.

Then about a month ago i said something on the blog the car might have had a leak at the transmission. Then squeeze a hose back in there and fill whatever you want. Must have done it like 20 times so far, before it stabilized as i said last year.

About a week later, symptoms reappeared. I went and bought a quart of fluid, added it all and it got much better, with some rare hesitations like one or two at the beginning of the trip until the fluid was at operating temperature. Cause the fluid expands with temperature and it is low when it starts and it gets to normal limits when it warms up. So it means one quart did not do it. When did that happen, cause it started to do it suddenly and in full summer, when the fluid is warmer, faster.

But now i see wetness in the dust around that plug, which means a leak. Though it is on top, so it can be only splashes. Was thinking maybe the plastic (composite) could have gotten warned out by taking it apart and put it back in numerous times. Especially because it does not come out straight because of bumping on some part (a design error), so you have to set it at an angle before pulling it.

There are numerous discussions online about removing that plug, some ended filing a side of the cap, i figured how to do it without.

Anyways. Last night i tried to find a plug on line and could not find a part number.

Today i decided to go to a dealer in Beaverton and buy some more fluid and a plug. At Kia they did not have the diagrams for Elantras. So i got the fluid there but then i had to go to Beaverton Hyundai, a place i don't like because of things that happen in the past. In the end, the chief o the Service Department brought the car back outside the service and banned me from the dealer saying "i mess too much with my car". He said he will call the Police if i came back again.

A few months later i found the rear brake plates had the warning metal spring bent in such a way the breaks for on at a low degree all the time, increasing fuel consumption. That is after a trip at Reno when i saw a team of mobile mechanics coming from the direction of my car one morning (i was in the newer West or North hotel, i can't remember, at ground level).

They forgot the ban, i went in there a few times to buy parts, that car was totaled, but today the weirdest thing happened to me.

While i was talking to the parts guy, a group of 4 or 5 people, including a Hyundai employee came behind me and started talking so loud i literally could not hear what the parts guy was saying. I turned around, they wound's stop. I asked the parts guy to tell them to stop but he did nothing.

In the end, he took the diagram we were talking upon and went inside, a different guy came and brought a part to an older gentlemen in the group and that gentlemen started complaining about me that i am grumpy and have negative energy that could impact upon others.

He said if i was unhappy i should not make everybody else unhappy. Then i told him he is imposing on me and he said "you are imposing" and then i said "i wasn't yelling in your ear while you were trying to the parts guy" and then he finally shut his mouth. Because that was what he was expecting from me to say. Because i yell things online. As i said, they are doing with allegories what nobody can do with words.

I noticed  he looked kinda weird, old, tall with a round head, reminding me of the cartoon character Popeye.

To make it shorter. Got back home. On the road i was thinking. The man was talking about negative energy, he could be an occultist. Then i googled "american high ranking occultist" and voila. The first face is saw. Only thing is the man is officially dead. Would not be the first case in this type of business.

I saw Hubbard, alive for years until the early 90s in Romania and several times later in the US, including as my neighbor at Sussex in Beaverton.

Going into total oblivion so nobody would suspect they are still pulling strings from beyond. And what strings. Also any appearance of them to a limited numbers of followers would be considered an accomplishing of deification process.

So it looks i might have reached yet another of the ends of it. But the whole episode also doubles on a number of things i said recently.

He then left and the man came with... another diagram. The part i was looking for does not sell separately, i would have to buy the whole transmission side cover for 120 something. The reason i could not find it online. However there was a rubber ring to seal the plug next to it which i am not sure i have at the car that had a part number was quoted at... 80 bucks. Pictures later.

Now i have to look at the plug to see how worn out it is (from taking it apart numerous times as i said) and if it has a rubber ring. Then i can figure what do do, try to find an after market seal etc.. But they will do another show in the lot while i'm doing that, for sure. Mario Lopez, kids at the day care, guys in A shirts passing by the car, etc..

2:33 So they score things on me this morning. One thing they were trying to accomplish by producing him i think was to prove American occultism does not derive from Hinduism or Buddhism or Shintoism as i just said on my blog. Because those religions do not have a devil, while him of course being a worshiper of Satan (or the Egyptian god Set which may be a precursor of traditional Satan whatever).

As i said the esoterics mimic in appearance Christianity (see Roxicrucianism or Scientology cross) or the dark side of it in this case LOL but they all believe in some form of reincarnation which is from Hinduism with its derivatives. It so happens temple of Set got them both (Devil and reincarnation).

Temple of Set beliefs are the most related to Scientology i ever heard of.

3:30 Angela came and i went at the car. There is no o-ring there. "Must have lost it while i was adding fluid, once". Went and searched for poops. Found a few, but inside the dumpster there was a short (10 cm or 4 inches transparent bag full of it, cannot understand how it was picked) so i wrapped in one of my bags and knotted it.

Ok they quoted the wrong part number, 45284. The correct one is 45218. Could be they had it in stock.

11:05 Death Star.

 10:00 PM Dumb and dumber.

Acvifere

11:30 Știam de acvifere de când am scris postarea aceea care conține două ipoteze privind producerea cutremurelor de mică și mare adâncime.

În România sunt 2 zone seismice importante. Vrancea și Banat. În Vrancea apar cutremure de adâncime cauzate de schimbări de fază în magmă (prea complicat ca să deviez acum). În Banat apar cutremure prin fierberea instant a unor acvifere care sunt foarte aproape de punctul de fierbere declanșate de o schimbare de presiune atmosferică combinată cu alinierea Pământ-Soare-Lună. Banatul este o zonă cu activitate termală cunoscută.

Este foarte similar cu fierberea apei în cuptorul cu microunde. Când apa fierbe apare abur pe geam (condens). Dacă se scoate vasul respectiv (cu o mănușă de protecție) și se lovește ușor de masă, apa fierbe pentru câteva secunde. Pentru că este la punctul de fierbere și o ușoară undă de șoc, care până la urmă este un val de presiune, declanșează o fierbere temporară.

La un acvifer de dimensiuni importante, cum ar fi de ordinul km, o asemenea fierbere instant va cutremura pământul pentru câteva secunde sau chiar minute.

Tot atunci când am scris postarea care inițial a fost o aplicație de grant pe care nu am reușit s-o termin, am descărcat de la  USGS toate cutremurele mai mari de 4 care s-au înregistrat în România și am construit diverse diagrame, din care două stânga mai jos reprezintă longitudinea și latitudinea (by longitude, by latitude) fiindcă aveam datele și era ușor și am fost și eu curios. Se văd clar cele două zone seismice și diferența de adâncime.

De remarcat faptul că la USGS cutremurul din martie 1977 a fost înregistrat inițial ca de 6.4 și nu 7.4. Au modificat chestia după ce am spus eu dar acum regret.

Ok deci am lămurit de unde știam eu de acvifere. Bănuiesc că toată lumea știe, vag. Parcă am auzit ceva la geografie în clasa IV. Dar mai în detaliu aici.

De aici încolo încă o singură întrebare pentru google AI va lămuri unde am vrut să ajung. Un răspuns pur teoretic la întrebarea dacă poate cineva să ne fure până și Dunărea. Da poate dacă este suficient de motivat (da mi se întâmplă mai tot timpul ca o metaforă de-a mea să fie transformată într-o realitate sinistră (be careful what you wish for), doar ca ei să ne arate ce pot). După cum este posibil și ca în timp de inundații să se pompeze un procent de apă din Dunăre în acvifer pentru a micșora debitul și nivelul. 

Exploatarea ilegală a acviferelor (a nu se confunda cu pânza freatică care e mai la suprafață și provine din ploi) din bazinul Dunării pentru irigații poate conduce la absorbția naturală în acvifer sporită din Dunăre, care combinată cu seceta poate conduce la situații critice ca cea de acum. Aceste acvifere sunt vaste și comunică între ele și pot traversa granițele ca niște vase comunicante. 

Deci când m-am hotârât să postez captura de ecran mai sus, a venit cineva deasupra. Ca să spună că alții îmi scriu postările.

S-a întâmplat mereu la fel și cu alți vecini. Un exemplu notabil. În Lake Oswego l-am avut ca vecin printre alții pe tipul ăla din Câmpulung, Postelnicu (post el Nicu), care se dădea ore în șir cu un avion închiriat cred pe deasupra complexului și făcea un zgomot infernal și avea în CV titlul de jurnalist (corespondent) undeva în UK.

Mama lui din Constanța dar născută în Câmpulung era profesoară de engleză. Pe Postelnicu l-am prins într-o fotografie, de la distanță, în ultima zi cand l-am mai văzut pe acolo. În poză mai este tipa aia care stătea cu el și eu cred că era cântăreață de blues Samantha Fish și un japonez bătrân cu băț care pe atunci stătea la apartamentul 6 de dedesubt lângă 5 unde erau ei. Am aflat cine era după ce a dispărut, posibil într-un accident de avion în Florida.

Tipul s-a arătat puțin violent când a trecut pe lângă mine, a scuturat o creangă de copac de zăpadă care mi-a căzut în cap, dar în distanță apăruse ninja ăla bătrân din poză.

Și cu Polanski (Mikitovici) m-am întâlnit cred într-un park în Lake Oswego, de mai multe ori, deghizat, cu mustață, el având o cameră foarte scumpă cu un teleobiectiv enorm, Sigma spunea el, el insistând foarte mult să plec din zonă. 

Eu pe Mikitovici îl știam mort de mult. Mikitovici avea ochi albastru intens ca mama lui Tate în timp ce Polanski îi are mai mult căprui (făcute toate pe vremea primelor camere digitale care avea distorsii de culoare în special la ochi albaștri). Și avea un comportament vulcanic. Știa engleza fiindcă odată mi-a tradus titlul unui film. În Germană sau Yiddish vorbea cu alți tipi de-ai lui pe stradă.

A avut o activitate intensă cu cineclubul pionieresc din Câmpulung. Am fost odată cu el și alții la un festival la Săliște Sibiu (1971 cred) pentru că în 72 am fost în Germania. Lumea spunea că el a aranjat locul în tabără pentru fiica lui care nu avea 12 ani iar locul era pentru un băiat. Dar faza putea să fi avut legătură și cu Emil Bodnăraș care era de pe lângă Câmpulung. El sau Dej au luat-o odată pe mama când era copil într-o plimbare cu avionul deasupra Câmpulungului.

Fabrica de conserve lactate Rarăul de peste drum (7 noiembrie, acum Calea Transilvaniei LOL), construită de elvețieni în 1960.

Apropo am văzut iar în complex SUV-ul negru cu număr DEU care eu cred că aparține Mitropolitului Teodosie din Constanța.

August 9

1:05 PM For the first time today i opened to read the news in the US. Though upstairs it was quiet for hours until now, they started to creak the floor in that very moment. It happens almost always. It prevents me from thinking. It changes the mood related to one news or another. It blocks the comments and reactions in my mind before i can decide if i want to write something about.

Very frustrating and annoying. Coming from young people in their 20s (her) or 30s (him) spending here all weekend. All my previous neighbors did the same. How do they know when i open the news? 

1:15 Echoes of poops from the lawn at the apartment into the press. But they won't stop. Found new ones this morning. (Business as usual). 

(Trump's) Latest. Semi negotiations. I think. One good example of cyclicity based on recurring patterns is the weak long deals of Trump with Iran... But not only. There is more than one war caught in repeating loops going on these days if not all of them...

Since Rumen Radev brought Bulgaria into focus...
