Names and etymology

The English proper name for Earth's natural satellite is typically written as Moon, with a capital M. The noun moon is derived from Old English mōna, which stems from Proto-Germanic *mēnōn, which in turn comes from Proto-Indo-European *mēnsis 'month' (from earlier *mēnōt, genitive *mēneses) which may be related to the verb 'measure' (of time).

Occasionally, the name Luna /ˈluːnə/ is used in scientific writing and especially in science fiction to distinguish the Earth's moon from others, while in poetry "Luna" has been used to denote personification of the Moon. Cynthia /ˈsɪnθiə/ is a rare poetic name for the Moon personified as a goddess, while Selene /səˈliːniː/ (literally 'Moon') is the Greek goddess of the Moon.

The English adjective pertaining to the Moon is lunar, derived from the Latin word for the Moon, lūna. Selenian /səliːniən/ is an adjective used to describe the Moon as a world, rather than as a celestial object, but its use is rare. It is derived from σελήνη selēnē, the Greek word for the Moon, and its cognate selenic was originally a rare synonym but now nearly always refers to the chemical element selenium. The element name selenium and the prefix seleno- (as in selenography, the study of the physical features of the Moon) come from this Greek word.

Artemis, the Greek goddess of the wilderness and the hunt, also came to be identified with Selene, and was sometimes called Cynthia after her birthplace on Mount Cynthus. Her Roman equivalent is Diana. The names Luna, Cynthia, and Selene are reflected in technical terms for lunar orbits such as apolune, pericynthion and selenocentric.

The astronomical symbols for the Moon are the crescent ☽ and decrescent ☾, for example in M☾ 'lunar mass'.

Lunar geologic timescale

Main article: Lunar geologic timescale

Millions of years before present

The lunar geological periods are named after their characteristic features, from most impact craters outside the dark mare, to the mare and later craters, and finally the young, still bright and therefore readily visible craters with ray systems like Copernicus or Tycho.

The English word sun developed from Old English sunne. Cognates appear in other Germanic languages, including West Frisian sinne, Dutch zon, Low German Sünn, Standard German Sonne, Bavarian Sunna, Old Norse sunna, and Gothic sunnō. All these words stem from Proto-Germanic *sunnōn.[17][18] This is ultimately related to the word for sun in other branches of the Indo-European language family, though in most cases a nominative stem with an l is found, rather than the genitive stem in n, as for example in Latin sōl, ancient Greek ἥλιος (hēlios), Welsh haul and Czech slunce, as well as (with *l > r) Sanskrit स्वर् (svár) and Persian خور (xvar). Indeed, the l-stem survived in Proto-Germanic as well, as *sōwelan, which gave rise to Gothic sauil (alongside sunnō) and Old Norse prosaic sól (alongside poetic sunna), and through it the words for sun in the modern Scandinavian languages: Swedish and Danish sol, Icelandic sól, etc.[18]

The principal adjectives for the Sun in English are sunny for sunlight and, in technical contexts, solar (/ˈsoʊlər/),[3] from Latin sol.[19] From the Greek helios comes the rare adjective heliac (/ˈhiːliæk/).[20] In English, the Greek and Latin words occur in poetry as personifications of the Sun, Helios (/ˈhiːliəs/) and Sol (/ˈsɒl/),[2][1] while in science fiction Sol may be used to distinguish the Sun from other stars. The term sol with a lowercase s is used by planetary astronomers for the duration of a solar day on another planet such as Mars.[21]

The astronomical symbol for the Sun is a circle with a center dot, .[22] It is used for such units as M☉ (Solar mass), R☉ (Solar radius) and L☉ (Solar luminosity).[23][24] The scientific study of the Sun is called heliology.[25]

Orbital Mechanics:

Anatomy of an Orbit

So, we've discussed how an object can be launched into space in such a way that it enters orbit: a state of constant falling around a massive object such as the Earth.

A quick note: In my last post I used the term trajectory, which is going to come up quite a bit in the future. In case you're unfamiliar with it, it's essentially just a term for the path an object is going to take as it moves- or in our case, as it orbits.

Now that we've covered what an orbit is and how it happens, we need to be able to describe it as well. As it happens, the majority of orbital trajectories appear as ellipses, so this post is going to largely be about geometry!

As mentioned, many orbits will form ellipses with the center of mass (the object being orbited) at one of the foci. Circular orbits are also considered, in which both foci will be at the center, however, actual circular orbits are impossible to truly achieve.

Before getting into the heart of what defines an orbit, there are two very important terms to mention: apoapsis- the furthest point of an orbit, and periapsis- the closest point. However, the naming here can get a little tricky, as the names for these particular terms can change based on what the center of mass of the orbit is. Though they have a slightly different meaning, apocenter and pericenter are used generically instead of apoapsis and periapsis. If the center of mass is the Earth, these points are referred to as the apogee and perigee. For moon-centric orbits, apocynthion and pericynthion are used, or sometimes apolune and perilune.

To try and avoid confusion, I'll always be using the terms apoapsis and periapsis when I discuss orbits. And now that we've got those terms defined, we can get into the rest of the post!

There are six variables that fully define the orbit of an object in space, known as the Keplerian Elements of an orbit. The first two are used to define the shape of the ellipse:

Semi-major axis (a): The distance from the center of the ellipse to one end of it. Also worth noting is the semi-minor axis (b), which runs perpendicular to a. Eccentricity (e): A measure of how circular or elliptical an orbit is. An eccentricity of 0 is perfectly circular, and as eccentricity approaches 1 the orbit becomes more elliptical.

The next two variables describe how the ellipse is positioned in space around the center of mass. However, to describe where an orbit is in space, we must first create a reference plane to compare it to. If that doesn't quite click, consider a coordinate grid. We can assign a set of coordinates (x, y) to an object using a grid, but those numbers only make sense because we know where the origin (0, 0) is. Likewise, describing the angle of tilt of the plane of our orbit only makes sense if we have a reference plane to compare it to.

For geocentric orbits (orbits where the central mass is Earth), the reference plane is the plane on which the Earth's equator lies and is referred to as the equatorial plane.

Inclination (i): The angle formed between the plane of the orbit and the reference plane. In other words, the tilt of the orbit. An inclination of 90° means the orbit is perpendicular to the reference place. Longitude of the Ascending Node (Ω, uppercase omega): The line formed by the intersection of the orbital plane and the equatorial reference plane is the ascending node. The Longitude of the Ascending Node tells us where the ascending node is by measuring the angle formed between this line and a reference line on the reference plane. For equatorial orbits, the reference line is the First Point of Aries (♈︎).

Finally, two additional variables define both the orientation of the orbit and the position of the orbiting body:

Argument of Periapsis (ω, lowercase omega): This is the angle formed between the ascending node of the orbit and the periapsis of the orbit, on the orbital plane. If the closest point of the orbit is where the orbit crosses the reference plane, then the value of this is 0°. True Anomaly (ν or θ, theta): Where an orbiting body is on its orbit at a certain time, measured as an angle from its position at the starting time to its current position.

Now that we've covered all the essential parts of an orbit, we can accurately describe any that we come across! We can also combine them all into one of my favorite pictures describing them all at once.

Tardigrades on the moon: It's 2019, we're shooting tardigrades into space now. To see what happens to them. To be clear, exposing them to the vaccum of space was never part of the plan, mostly we were studying the effect of zero gravity on these busted little bugs. Did you know tardigrades can survive close to absolute zero. Over 400 K. ionizing radiation. dessication. oxygen deficiency. dehydration. They've already been tested in Low Earth Orbit, the vacuum found therein. We know they can exist, out there. Why did we send them up like this, this time? zero gravity cant tell us anything about them that we dont already know. Takeoff and landing are the most dangerous parts of a plane flight. When a spacecraft is lovingly engineered by teams on earth that dream of it in the night its safe to say the same can apply here. The launch goes well. The spacecraft devoid of human intervention shooting past the atmosphere. shoot for the moon. no complications. Landing is a bit more rough - technical difficulties rear their head - 3,000 Kilometers an hour and not slowing down - Selene is hit. The tardigrade chamber, loose. Tardigrades on the moon.

Bengaluru Chandrayana 3 one klm away from lunar eclipse

Chandrayaan-3’s orbit is reduced to 174km x 1,437km following a manoeuvre performed today (Wednesday). The next operation is scheduled between 11.30am and 12.30pm on August 14,” Isro said. On Monday, the space agency had reduced the altitude of Chandrayaan-3 by around 14,000km to bring it to 4,313km (Apolune) close to Moon’s surface. The next lunar-bound manoeuvres will be on August 14,…

by MoonlessMusings As a woman in the Sacred 28, Cecily learned that her desires were meaningless. As a wife, she learned her happiness was unimportant. As a mother, she learned her usefulness was expired. As a widow, she learned she could start again. It's been two years since Cecily's husband and son were killed, Dumbledore showed up at her door personally inviting her daughter to Hogwarts, and she started her position as Professor of Magical Theory. She can't help but feel that the recent escape of Sirius Black from Azkaban has something to do with her son's death. And what about Remus Lupin's return to Hogwarts as the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor? Cecily had learned long ago that he couldn't be trusted-at least, not with her heart. Can that trust be rebuilt in time to save what's left of her family from the darkness? This will be a long fic that spans books 3 to 7.

Apolune developer Lost Astronaut Studios and Linux

Apolune is a minimalist, endless procedural evolutionary space war for Windows PC, with prospect for Linux support. Thanks to feedback from developer Lost Astronaut Studios. Which is now available on Steam and Itch.io. Apolune is all about fighting wave after wave of enemy starships. Doing so in a classic "2D" simulation action. That also evolves and mutates as you fight on, victorious. Likewise, defend the Earth from hordes of vile aliens in a simple craft: point-and-shoot. Although Apolune is straight forward. Reaching out Astronaut Studios for support details prompted encouraging feedback.

While I personally an am avid fan of Linux. Having used it since the early 1990's. And sometimes doing cross-platform development or back-end on Linux. This particular engine is a custom made WinAPI .NET 32-bit engine. The reason Linux is listed is because it has come to my attention that Steam will run Win32 applications on Linux (Steam Play). Though I have not heard back on whether or not Apolune works this way. It may run via Wine, or through virtualization, etc, but not sure. There are no plans to port Apolune to Linux.

This may seem like disappointing news for some. The game does work via Proton. But going forward the studio has other plans.

In the future, Linux support in future products from Lost Astronaut. This will increase as we port our custom-made engine to QT. But details are scarce and timelines unsure. Also, we're starting to develop using Nodejs. So many of our newer titles will also work on Linux natively via the Nodejs / Electronjs platform.

Although Linux support is not in the works for Apolune. It's encouraging to see a developer working to ensure native build going forward. As well as having experience with the platform in general.

Remnant Headcanons: Part One

i really had no idea what to title this, so please excuse that. these are basically my theories of what each remnant did while acting as a remnant and the long term effects that it had on them all. this part will contain only teruteru, it’s one am and i’m tired lmao

Teruteru Hanamura

it is implied and basically confirmed that, despite having a strong connection with his mother before being brainwashed, teruteru killed, cooked and ate his mother.

therefore, it can be assumed that he did the same to other people, both strangers and family members.

eating human flesh can cause brain rot, or encephalopathy. i believe he would have developed this, the severity depending on how much he ate (this is grossing me out holy shit)

for physical effects, he would most likely experience difficulty when it comes to motor functions (moving your muscles/limbs), difficulty being coordinated, fainting and twitching/muscle spasms.

for mental effects, he would experience difficulty when it comes to concentrating and processing things, fatigue and a altered personality.

going away from the disease/cannibalism/brain rot, let’s talk about his mother.

he would no doubt feel guilt. in his trial, it was revealed that he had a very strong connection with her and they both loved eachother and had a nice, stable mother-son relationship.

he would probably resent himself for doing what he did to her and would want her back, even though it wasn’t possible

he would probably try a ritual of some sort (maybe due to the brain rot, he would think it could work?) but would have to be stopped by one of the other members of his class. i think it would likely be sonia or hajime— hajime is levelheaded and sonia also has to cope with killing her family. they can cope and heal together

as i hinted at in the previous statement, sonia nevermind also killed her family during the period of time where junko had brainwashed her. due to this, i feel like maybe her and teruteru could develop a stronger friendship and help eachother heal.

even despite the brain rot, i think his personality would still change. i think he would probably become less perverted and have more respect when it came to people and their comfort and wouldn’t want to hurt anyone ever again.

he would most definitely have ptsd, he cooked human beings and slaughtered people against his own will, like jfc how would he not

Summer Sky, Tyresö (No. 3)

The usual English proper name for Earth's natural satellite is simply Moon, with a capital M. The noun moon is derived from Old English mōna, which (like all its Germanic cognates) stems from Proto-Germanic *mēnōn, which in turn comes from Proto-Indo-European *mēnsis "month" (from earlier *mēnōt, genitive *mēneses) which may be related to the verb "measure" (of time).

Occasionally, the name Luna /ˈluːnə/ is used in scientific writing and especially in science fiction to distinguish the Earth's moon from others, while in poetry "Luna" has been used to denote personification of the Moon. Cynthia /ˈsɪnθiə/ is another poetic name, though rare, for the Moon personified as a goddess, while Selene /səˈliːniː/ (literally "Moon") is the Greek goddess of the Moon.

The usual English adjective pertaining to the Moon is "lunar", derived from the Latin word for the Moon, lūna. The adjective selenian /səliːniən/, derived from the Greek word for the Moon, σελήνη selēnē, and used to describe the Moon as a world rather than as an object in the sky, is rare, while its cognate selenic was originally a rare synonym but now nearly always refers to the chemical element selenium. The Greek word for the Moon does however provide us with the prefix seleno-, as in selenography, the study of the physical features of the Moon, as well as the element name selenium.

The Greek goddess of the wilderness and the hunt, Artemis, equated with the Roman Diana, one of whose symbols was the Moon and who was often regarded as the goddess of the Moon, was also called Cynthia, from her legendary birthplace on Mount Cynthus. These names – Luna, Cynthia and Selene – are reflected in technical terms for lunar orbits such as apolune, pericynthion and selenocentric.

The astronomical symbol for the Moon is a crescent, , for example in M☾ 'lunar mass' (also ML).

This is Malog Vanthus. Malog is a title he kinda made up/kinda stole from a dark prophesy that may or may not actually be about him. He was the villain of a JRPG-type world, basically, but only really because he is very stupid and misinterprets his own loneliness as an endless hunger for power that can never be sated, and built an evil empire/tried to turn the moon into an interstellar war station about it. He’s no longer in the villain role directly, but kept the aesthetics, powers and excessive drama.

The sword thing is called Voidshear and can split into individual connected plates in the form of a whip sword, called Apolune (whip form) and Perilune (sword form) respectively. Also all the gold parts of his costume are made from metal he mined from the moon.

I was curious to find out if Crowley’s “The Extremely Big Book of Astronomy” was, in fact, based on a real astronomy book.

It’s not, it was a prop created for the scene, but I did manage to transcribe the page we do see up close. The text is about the etymology of the word ‘Moon’ and is taken from Wikimedia (read, the Wikipedia page from 2016).

The usual English proper name for Earth's natural satellite is "the Moon". The noun moon is derived from moone (around 1380), which developed from mone (1135), which is derived from Old English mōna (dating from before 725), which ultimately stems from Proto-Germanic*mǣnōn, like all Germanic language cognates. Occasionally, the name "Luna" is used. In literature, especially science fiction, "Luna" is used to distinguish it from other moons, while in poetry, the name has been used to denote personification of our moon.

The principal modern English adjective pertaining to the Moon is lunar, derived from the Latin Luna. A less common adjective is selenic, derived from the Ancient Greek Selene (Σελήνη), from which is derived the prefix "seleno-" (as in selenography). Both the Greek Selene and the Roman goddess Diana were alternatively called Cynthia.The names Luna,Cynthia, and Selene are reflected in terminology for lunar orbits in words such as apolune, pericynthion,and selenocentric. The name Diana is connected to dies, meaning 'day'. 

The picture of the Moon is also from the same page, but it seems to have been flipped. The other page I can see is titled ‘Constellations’, but I can’t figure out what’s written. I strongly suspect all the text and pictures come from Wikipedia and other open sources. I could glimpse Venus, Jupiter, and possibly Uranus. I hunted down the Gallifrey picture but I couldn’t find the picture they used, perhaps some more lore-savy Doctor Who fan found it!

Under the cut some pictures :D
