A year ago I started building first prototypes of a device that would be capable of calculating #moon phases based on the historical Metonic cycle. The result was „Meton“, a 3D-printed lunar phase calculator. So if you need an #opendata moon machine, go ahead.

Or build it yourself, from oak and steel.

Tested my #telescope last night and this is harder than it looks! Even had problems finding the moon with it, if you can believe that 🥹

We really ♥️ this piece from John Hawks on humans looking at the stars, especially how he picks up African #huntergatherer cosmologies on the link of the #Moon to #Menstruation 🩸
Right now I'm involved in one of the MOST important papers of my life with Hadza hunter-gatherer experts on Hadza beliefs and practice around menstruation, hunting and the moon.
The key here is no one understands Hadza #Epeme--their moon-scheduled ritual for healing and good hunting--unless they also understand menstrual beliefs and practice.

The Moon’s two faces don’t match, and we think we know why
The lunar far side is maria-poor, crater-rich, and full of highlands.
With our first far side samples now in Earth laboratories, our leading explanation awaits its big test.

It amused me reading Arthur C. Clarke's 1952 novel 'Islands In The Sky', in Chapter 9 (which in my book has been printed upside down as Chapter 6)
is the sentence:
'It was true that I had seen many films and photographs of the Moon's other side, and it was also true that it was very much the same as the visible face.'
I suppose Clarke wasn't to know he was wrong for another seven years! 😄
