Photoperiod and Moon Phase

For homework this week, I have to use information available through Sunrisesunset.com. Create your own local astronomic calendar to keep track of photoperiod, lunar phases, or moonrise and moonset.

dream

i had a scary dream about dachau last night. i dreamt that a woman had survived but only her head. so she was living, but only her head. it sat on a satin-lined basket. i guess this is a casualty of my line of work.

a photo.

virtual slide rule

NdeGT alerted all 987,679 of us to this incredible VIRTUAL SLIDE RULE that moves when you move it.

ah mazing.

You can also obviously move the thing in the center of the slide rule. Now I just need to know why and how to use a slide rule.

I feel like I would really appreciate a virtual sextant so I could brush up on my celestial nav while at work.
