Christmas Moon The smallest full moon of 2004 will brighten the nights around Christmas. Rudolph coughed and sneezed. Ahh-choo! His nose was really red. The doctor nodded ruefully. "He has to stay in bed." Rudolph had a cold, a bad one, plain to see. He wasn't going anywhere with Santa Christmas Eve. Rooftops dark and tricky. (Hey ... where'd the chimney go?) That's what Santa has to deal with absent Rudolph's rosy glow. But Santa is a cheery soul and a smart one, too. He quickly had a bright idea: "I know what to do!" Using special Santa-magic, he conjured up a moon, a full one, round and shiny. Who needs Rudolph? That old prune! So... to those of you who don't believe in Santa, here's the proof: Look out the window Christmas Eve at the moonlight on your roof. December 22, 2004: No Rudolph? No problem. This year there's going to be a full moon to light up the nights around Christmas. It's a special full moon, too: the smallest of 2004. Soaring high in the sky, it might remind you of a shiny white Christmas ball for your tree. Don't bother reaching for it... it's 406,700 km away! Technically speaking, the moon isn't 100% full until Dec. 26th. But that's perfect timing for Christmas carolers and Santa. The practically-full moon on Dec. 24th and 25th rises early, lighting up streets and rooftops as soon as the sun goes down. What makes this full moon small? Answer: The moon's lopsided orbit. Although astronomers say the moon "circles" the Earth, it doesn't, not exactly. The moon's orbit is really an ellipse. One side of the ellipse is 356,400 km from Earth; this is called perigee. The other side of the ellipse is 406,700 km from Earth; this is called apogee. Apogee is 50,000 km farther from Earth than perigee. Right: The apparent size of the moon at perigee (top) and apogee (bottom). When the moon is full and near apogee, we get an extra-small full moon. Such is the case this Christmas. Even the smallest full moons are very bright. They outshine Sirius, the brightest star in the sky, by twenty-five thousand times. They cast shadows, and provide enough light to read by. Finding chimneys? It's easy! If you get binoculars or a telescope for Christmas, take a look at the moon. It's absolutely beautiful--a world so close to Earth that you can see its craters and mountains and "seas" in exquisite detail. The moon is deserted now, but in the years ahead, according to the new Vision for Space Exploration, people will be walking around up there. Enjoy the moonlight and Merry Christmas, from Science@NASA. science.nasa.gov And Seasons Greetings to one and all.

You're kicking up alot of dirt Shell, your associates are kicking up alot of dirt. The feds, the SEC & the judge in the federal case are aware of all these threats. They work in the shadows, in silence. You're kicking up the dirt Shell because you're scared shtless....not AZNT, Qualey, Cook or Landish. "The shoe buffer is satisfying as ever. Something one can count on in an uncertain world." By: Pugs $$$$ 23 Jul 1999, 03:26 PM EDT Msg. 2300 of 181143 (This msg. is a reply to 2295 by JaniceShell.) You ever watch a bullfight Shell? Let me tell you something, the matter knows when the bull is a coward & an easy kill. How? The bull kicks up alot of dirt, snorts, puts on a whole show. Why? Because he's SCARED. A good matador can read a bull quickly. The bull that comes into the ring and stares the matador down, not a sound, not a flinch, ...this is the Bull the matador fears. Why? Because he is a brave bull, he will fight! I'm a fighter Shell, I've fought alot of other fighters. Never has a fighter who's told me he's gonna kick my as actually done so. I learned from the matadors, the fighter is afraid, thats why he says the things he does. The fighter who comes into the ring 'relaxed', this is the fighter who will give you a good fight. You're kicking up alot of dirt Shell, your associates are kicking up alot of dirt. The feds, the SEC & the judge in the federal case are aware of all these threats.
