03/23/2012 – Ephemeris – The moon will pass Jupiter Sunday Night
Ephemeris for Friday, March 23rd. The sun will rise at 7:39. It’ll be up for 12 hours and 20 minutes, setting at 7:59. The moon, 1 day past new, will set at 9:27 this evening.
The thin crescent moon is moving away from the setting sun in the west. By Sunday evening it will be to the upper right of Jupiter. In the moon’s monthly journey around the sun it passes each of the planets in turn, because the moon, earth and most of the planets lie very close to the same plane. The sun and the solar system condensed out of a cloud which spun in a flat disk. The sun had the most mass and began to glow as a star. The other material accreted into protoplanets, then into larger planets. Spiral galaxies also have this flattened appearance. It is the reason the Kepler satellite can pick up so many exoplanets around other stars. Of the tiny fraction of stellar planetary planes tilted our way, there can be multiple planets found in each.

does this cause the moon to look red? i looked at the moon one min and about an hour later i looked at it again and it looked blood red ! even though it was only a cresent moon it still looked blood red. why is this ? i am very interested in finding out why.
The moon or sun for that matter can look yellowish or red when they are near the horizon because of atmospheric or Rayleigh scattering. This scattering by the air molecules and dust in the atmosphere scatters away the blue light from these bodies. This gives us the blue skies on a clear day. It also makes the sun and moon look reddish when near the horizon because we see then through a lot of atmosphere. Then a lot of the shorter wavelengths of light are scattered out of the light we see of them.
I think this triangular position may have more significant meaning than meets the eye.
This triangle is used in mathematical therium linked to ancient aliens( Who may have used it for landing taking off and direction ) and druids who held dear the angles of Jupiter and Venus and the moon.
