What zodiac sign is the moon in today?

The moon is currently in the sign ♌ Leo and the constellation ♋ Cancer.

Is the moon in a zodiac sign or a constellation?

Expression "Moon in the sign of the zodiac", for example, in the sign "Pisces", implies its astrological position within the boundaries of the zodiac sign. The zodiac sign is one twelfth of the ecliptic, which is 30°. Belongs to the tropical zodiac.

Expression "Moon in the constellation", for example, in the constellation "Aquarius", implies its astronomical position within the boundaries of the constellation. The boundaries of the constellations have different shapes, and the moon is in them for different times. Constellations belong to the astronomical zodiac.

This difference arose due to the precession of the earth's axis and the associated displacement of the vernal equinox for 2000 years by about one sign back. Therefore, you can often hear the following clarification: "The moon is in the sign of Pisces and the constellation of Aquarius." In addition, in the astronomical interpretation, the thirteenth constellation "Ophiuchus" is added to the twelve constellations consonant with the signs of the zodiac. You can read more about the dates of the intersection of the astronomical and astrological signs of the zodiac on the page.

What phase is the moon today?

The moon is currently in its waning third quarter phase.

What are the phases of the moon?

Distinguish household and astronomical phases of the moon. Their names are the same, and the difference is only in the duration of the phases of the new moon and full moon. In everyday life, they last for 2-3 Earth days each, until the moon is practically invisible (new moon) or visible almost like a full disk (full moon). But in an astronomical sense, the duration of these phases is less than a second.

The reason for this is that the moon moves around the earth at a speed of about 1023 m / s, and the full moon and new moon are the moments when the earth, moon and sun line up on the same plane perpendicular to the direction of the earth's movement around the sun. These moments are very fleeting and if you try to calculate their duration with an accuracy of coincidence of the positions of the moon, earth and sun at least up to one meter, then the duration will turn out to be less than 1/1023 of a second.

In our calendar, the duration of astronomical phases is calculated with an accuracy of one moon diameter (about 3476 km), which gives approximately 56.5 minutes.

The duration of everyday phases is considered based on the visibility of the moon's disk less than 3.12% for the new moon and more than 96.88% for the full moon.

Which moon is waxing or waning now?

How do you know if the moon is waxing or waning today?

You can understand what kind of moon is now in the sky according to the mnemonic rule for the northern hemisphere: if the moon looks like the letter “ FROM", that is FROM waning or waning moon. If, when adding a vertical stick to the month, the moon becomes like the letter " R", then she R growing.

For the southern hemisphere, the opposite is true. There, the moon is seen upside down, so musical terms are used to memorize C rescendo (or sign "<„) для растущей луны и D iminuendo (">" sign) for descending.

At the equator, the moon lies on its side, so both of these options will not be applicable. Instead, they are guided by the time when the “boat” of the moon is visible. If in the evening and in the west, then this is the growing moon follows the sun, and if in the morning and in the east, then this is the aging moon. The lunar arch at the equator cannot be seen with the ordinary eye, because. it will always fall in the daytime and the bright light of the sun will make it difficult to see it.

What is the lunar day today?

Now there are 17 lunar days. It's been 10 hours and 2 minutes since the beginning.

Lunar days and lunar days. What is the difference?

Lunar day- this is the period of time that passes from the moment of the new moon to the re-crossing of the meridian line by the moon, over which the moon was at the time of the new moon. The first lunar day begins its countdown at the moment when the center of the moon crosses the line connecting the earth and the sun (the moment of the new moon). The second and subsequent days begin when the center of the moon crosses the meridian over which the moment of the new moon occurred in this lunar cycle.

The average length of a lunar day is about 24 Earth hours, 50 minutes and 28 seconds. This happens because the earth and the moon rotate in the same direction and while the earth makes a complete revolution, the moon has time to run away from it a little forward and the earth has to turn a little more so that the moon is exactly above the meridian as one lunar day ago .

Lunar days are considered from sunrise to sunset of the moon at each specific point on the globe. At the same time, the beginning of the first lunar day occurs as the beginning of the first lunar day at the time of the new moon, and the second and subsequent lunar days are counted from the moonrise. The duration of lunar days and their number in each point of the globe is different. The usual number of lunar days is from 29 to 30 per lunar cycle. However, in some places where the moon may not rise or set for several Earth days, the number of lunar days may be much less. This affects the territories beyond the northern and southern polar circles. There for half a year you can not see either the sun or the moon.

A rare novel or poem about love does without such a character as the Moon. Where do the most romantic encounters take place? Of course under the moon. And it’s impossible to imagine a serenade under the balcony of your beloved without the moon hanging over the tiled roofs.

Who gave us such a gift, where did the Earth's natural satellite come from? Without dwelling on the versions of the construction of the Moon by ancient super-developed earthlings or the Moon, as a spaceship of aliens periodically descending on our planet and kidnapping a couple of particularly annoying ufologists, we will focus on the most plausible and popular hypotheses in the scientific community.

The moon is a rather large satellite on the scale of the solar system, and if considered in proportion to the parent planet, then it is very large. The largest moon in the solar system is Jupiter's moon Ganymede, twice as massive as the Moon and one and a half times as large. However, compared to its planet, Ganymede is a speck of dust: less than 4% in size and about 0.008% in mass. While the diameter of the Moon is about 27% of the Earth's, and its mass is more than one percent of the mass of our planet.

Until the beginning of the last century, in the scientific community, by and large, there was no question of how the Moon was formed. Most astrophysicists unanimously preached the hypothesis of the simultaneous formation of the Earth together with the satellite from the initial gas and dust cloud. However, later this option began to acquire more and more opponents, who argued that the gravity of the Earth would not allow such a large cosmic body to form in its orbit.

Added points to the opponents of the theory and the study of the soil delivered from the moon during NASA manned flights. As it turned out, the rock samples of our satellite differ from the earth's both in density and in chemical composition: a lower content of iron and some other heavy elements.

Earth satellite surface

Could a piece "fall off" from the Earth

Approximately in the 70-80 years of the twentieth century, a hypothesis was born, according to which the Moon was formed from a substance that had broken away from the Earth. According to her, this became possible when our planet was still in the formation stage and consisted of extremely hot rocks that were in a liquid state.

The substance separated from the surface of the protoplanet as a result of its very rapid rotation under the influence of centrifugal forces. The theory partially explained the difference in chemical composition. The heavier elements were in the central part of the Earth and remained, but the lighter compounds were outside the rapidly rotating sphere, and they were “dropped”.

The assumption was made by the son of the author of the theory of the origin of species - Charles Darwin. It is known that the Moon is gradually moving away from the Earth (something about 2 centimeters per year). Based on this fact, as if "rewinding" time back, George Darwin suggested that once the Earth and the satellite were a single whole.

Refuted the theory of mathematics. Careful calculations showed that the Moon could not approach the Earth closer than 7 ... 10 thousand kilometers.

Space detective with abduction

The option of abducting the Moon by the Earth was proposed by the Americans at the very beginning of the 20th century. According to the proposed assumption, the once independent celestial body was captured by the gravity of our planet. The theory perfectly explained the difference in the density and chemical composition of lunar rocks compared to those of the earth.

The same computer models became a fly in the ointment, in the end, and ruined the hypothesis. According to the calculations, the gravitational capture of such a massive body is practically impossible.

"Shock" version

Impact version of the origin of the moon in the representation of the artist

The studies of our natural satellite were filled with new colors after the samples of lunar rocks were delivered to Earth. About two hundred grams were delivered to Earth by the Soviet apparatus Luna-24, and about two hundred kilograms in total were brought to the planet by American manned missions. The study of the samples gave a new impetus to the solution of the question: how the Moon was formed. So, researchers were struck by two facts revealed during the study of samples of the lunar surface.

Firstly, as it turned out, the soil on the Earth and on the Moon, with all the differences in chemical composition, is absolutely identical in terms of the content of heavy oxygen isotopes (the indicator is individual for all bodies of the Solar System). This gave researchers evidence that both objects were either once a single entity, or were formed in the same region of the system, at approximately the same distance from the star.

Fact number two was that all the soil that makes up the surface of our satellite was molten in the past (former lava), like all basaltic rocks of the Earth. The astronomers were told about this by the almost complete absence of water and some other easily evaporating elements, such as potassium and lithium, in the samples. And the lunar soil acquired its modern look as a result of a long, over billions of years, bombardment by asteroids and meteorites of various sizes, which turned the surface into dust.

The addition of these two facts gave people the fourth theory of finding the moon, which is currently the main one, accepted by most serious scientific organizations and explaining the largest number of lunar mysteries. This is the Big Collision theory.

It is assumed that at the dawn of the formation of the solar system in the area where our planet now rotates, another celestial body, a protoplanet, was formed, the size of the current Mars. Romantics even came up with a name for it: Teia. During the period when both planets had not yet completely cooled down and were covered with oceans of molten stone, they collided, Theia tangentially crashed into the future Earth.

Part of Theia's substance, together with a heavy iron core, remained forever on Earth. Another, very small part, as a result of the impact, received a speed sufficient to leave the solar system forever. And, finally, a third of the fragments of Theia ended up in Earth's orbit. About a year after the impact, the debris merged to form the Moon.

Immediately, our satellite was extremely hot, its entire surface was covered by a multi-kilometer ocean of liquid lava, from time to time shaken by terrible tsunamis caused by comets and asteroids crashing into the fiery abyss. However, after several hundred million years, the Moon cooled down and slowly began to take on the shape we are used to.

Received qualitative changes as a result of the impact and our planet. Increased its rotation speed. According to some calculations, the day immediately after the collision lasted only less than five hours. In addition, as a result of the merger of the iron-nickel cores of the Proto-Earth and Theia, the inner metallic core of our planet has grown significantly.

And as a result...

It is difficult to overestimate the significance of this cosmic event for earthlings. Perhaps one can agree with those scientists who believe that due to the collision on Earth, there are conditions for the existence of life.

It was as a result of the connection of the Earth and Theia that our planet received a massive iron core. Due to the presence of a natural satellite, which is rather heavy relative to the parent planet, there are tidal phenomena on Earth. And not just in the oceans.

Tidal forces are constantly: either stretching or compressing the earth's core, as a result of which friction forces heat up the heart of our planet. In the liquid hot core, conditions are created for the formation of giant vortex phenomena - the source of the magnetic field of the planet Earth.

Our closest neighbor in the solar "home" - Mars does not have such an active core, it does not have a magnetic field. Many astronomers are inclined to assume that it is precisely because of this that there is no dense atmosphere on Mars, no water, no life. The solar wind simply “blew away” all the gases from Mars, making way for deadly cosmic radiation.

Being the brightest object in the night sky. Since ancient times, she has riveted the views of people and touched the most poetic strings in their souls. The influence of the moon on our planet is very great. The most striking example of this is the tides of the sea. They arise in connection with the gravitational attraction exerted by the Earth's satellite. In addition, since ancient times, people have used the lunar calendar. Throughout almost the entire history of mankind, it has been the main method not only for chronology, but also for orientation in daily affairs. Looking at the lunar calendar, our ancestors decided whether to start sowing or reaping, to organize fair festivities or not.

The almighty church was also guided by the phases of the moon. According to the compiled calendar, she announced various religious holidays and Great Lent.
For hundreds of years people have argued about the origin of the moon. But, despite the rapid development of scientific thought, a huge number of unresolved questions about our only satellite still remained unanswered.

What is the actual origin of the moon? Hypotheses that allow at least somehow approaching this answer are both scientific in nature and are simply fantastic assumptions.

folk tradition

There is a legend about the origin of the moon. According to her, in ancient times, when even Time itself was young, a girl lived on our planet. She was so beautiful that everyone who saw her was simply breathtaking.

In those years, people did not know what anger and hatred were. Only harmony, mutual understanding and love reigned on Earth. Even God was pleased to contemplate the World he created. This went on for years, which turned into centuries. The planet looked like a blossoming fairy tale, and it seemed that nothing could overshadow such a beautiful picture.

However, over the years, basking in the rays of her own success and beauty, the girl changed her modest lifestyle to a wild one. At night, she began to seduce the most beautiful men on the planet, illuminating the darkness with a bright glow. Her behavior became known to God.

He punished the harlot by sending her to heaven. After that, the moon girl began to illuminate the beautiful planet with her captivating and pure glow. People began to take to the streets at night to admire the unique beauty pouring from the sky. This gentle light lit up in the hearts of young men and women, bringing warmth to the soul. Thus, the moon took people's peace of mind. They could no longer sleep at night and fell into her gentle trap. The moon endowed them with the most inexplicable feelings, forcing the hearts of earthlings to beat to the beat of mysterious thoughts and fabulous love.

Riddle number 1. Mass ratio

If we compare the Moon with other planets in our solar system, then it stands out with some anomalous characteristics. For example, the mass ratio of and and the Earth is unusually low. So, the diameter of our planet is four times the same parameter of its satellite. Jupiter, for example, has a value of eighty.

Another interesting detail is the distance between the Earth and the Moon. It is relatively small. In this regard, in terms of its visual dimensions, the Moon coincides with the Sun. This is confirmed by such phenomena as the eclipses of our nearest star, when the Earth's satellite completely covers the celestial body.

Perfectly round is also anomalous for researchers. Other satellites of the solar system rotate along an elliptical path.

Riddle number 2. Gravity center

Researchers also note the unusual deviation of the moon. The gravitational center of this satellite is 1800 meters closer than its geometric center. It can also prove the artificial origin of the Moon. The version of why the satellite of our planet, with such a significant discrepancy, still rotates in a circular orbit, simply does not exist.

Riddle number 3. Titanium surface

Looking at a photograph of the moon, many are sure that they see craters on its surface. However, in the absence of an atmosphere, the planet does not seem to be strongly "beaten" by cosmic bodies falling on it.

In addition, lunar craters are so small compared to their circumference that one gets the impression that meteorite fragments hit extremely strong material. Shcherbakov and Vasin suggested that the lunar surface is made of titanium. This version has been verified. As a result of the data obtained, it can be concluded that the lunar crust has extraordinary properties of titanium to a depth of almost 32 km.

Riddle number 4. Oceans

The artificial origin of the Moon is also proved by the giant extensions located on its surface, called oceans. Many researchers believe that this is nothing more than traces of solidified lava that emerged from the bowels of the planet after the impact of meteorites. Although all this can only be explained by volcanic activity.

Riddle number 5. Gravity

The theory of the origin of the Moon as an artificial body is also confirmed by the presence of a non-uniform gravitational attraction on this planet. This was confirmed by the Apollo VIII crew. The astronauts noted a sharp, which in some places mysteriously increases significantly.

Riddle number 6. Craters, oceans, mountains

On which is not visible from Earth, scientists have found a large number of craters, geographic upheavals and mountains. However, we can only see the oceans. Such a gravitational discrepancy also allows us to put forward a version that the moon has an artificial origin.

Riddle number 7. Density

The density of the moon is extremely low. Its value is only 60% of the density of our planet. According to the existing laws of physics, in this case, the Moon should simply be hollow. And this is with the relative rigidity of its surface. This is another argument justifying the artificial origin of the Moon.

Scientists have other hypotheses on this score, which together are the eighth postulate. Let's consider them in more detail.

Department of Matter

The history of the origin of the moon has worried people at all times. The first completely logical explanation for the appearance of this satellite near our planet was given in the 19th century. George Darwin. He was the son of Charles Darwin, who put forward the theory of natural selection.

George was a very authoritative and well-known astronomer who spent a lot of time studying the celestial satellite of our planet. In 1878, he put forward a version that the origin of the Moon was the result of the separation of matter. Most likely, George Darwin became the first researcher who established the fact that our celestial satellite is gradually moving away from the Earth. Having calculated the speed of the divergence of the planets, the astronomer suggested that in former times they formed a single whole.

In the distant past, the Earth was a viscous matter and rotated around its axis in just 5.5 hours. This led to the fact that centrifugal forces "pulled out" part of the substance from the planet. Over time, the moon was formed from this piece. The Pacific Ocean appeared on the place of separation on Earth.

This origin of the planet Luna was quite reasonable. As a result, the version of J. Darwin occupied a dominant position at the beginning of the 20th century. The theory perfectly explained the similarity of the composition of the lunar and terrestrial rocks, the lower density of the satellite of our planet and its size.

However, this version was criticized in 1920 by Harold Jeffreys. This British astronomer proved that the viscosity of our planet in a semi-molten state could not contribute to such a powerful vibration as to lead to the appearance of two planets. Against the fact that this was the origin of the Moon, hypotheses were put forward by other researchers. After all, it became incomprehensible what laws and phenomena allowed the Earth to accelerate so quickly, and then sharply reduce the speed of its orbit. In addition, it has been proven that the age of the Pacific Ocean is about 70 million years. And this is too little to accept the scenario proposed by J. Darwin for the emergence of a celestial satellite.

planetary takeover

How else was the origin of the moon explained? Versions were different, but the most explicable of them was the hypothesis that came out in 1909 from the pen of Thomas Jefferson Jackson Oi. This American astronomer suggested that in earlier times the Moon was a small planet in the solar system. However, gradually, under the influence of the gravitational forces acting on it, its orbit acquired the shape of an ellipse and intersected with the orbit of the Earth. Then our planet, with the help of gravity, “captured” it. As a result, the Moon moved to a new orbit and became a satellite.

This hypothesis is confirmed by a sufficiently high angular momentum. In addition, the myths of the ancient peoples speak in favor of this version, which state that there were times when the moon did not exist at all.

However, such a scenario is unlikely to have taken place. When a small planet passes near the Earth, the gravitational forces acting on the cosmic body would rather destroy it or throw it far enough away. This theory is counterbalanced by the fact that the lunar and earth surfaces have a certain similarity.

joint formation

This hypothesis was the main one in the Soviet scientific world. It was first voiced in the works of Kant back in 1775. According to this version, both planets formed from a single gas and dust cloud. In this plume, the proto-Earth was born, which gradually gained a large mass. As a result, particles of the cloud began to rotate around our planet, adhering to their own orbits. Some of them fell on the still not fully formed Earth and enlarged it. Others took up circular orbits and, being at the same distance from our planet, formed the Moon.

This hypothesis is fully explained by the fact that the Earth and the Moon have the same age, similar rocks, and much more. However, the origin of such a high angular momentum and atypical inclination of the orbital plane of our satellite is unknown. It seems strange that the planets formed simultaneously have different ratios of the mass of the core and shells, and the reason for the disappearance of light elements from the celestial satellite is also unknown.

Evaporation of matter

Researchers put forward this hypothesis at the beginning of the 20th century. According to this version, under the influence of constant contact with the Earth's surface of cosmic particles, its surface was subjected to strong heating. There was a melting of the substance, which soon began to evaporate. Further, the effect of blowing out light elements by the solar wind began. Heavier particles eventually went through the process of condensation. This happened at some distance from the Earth, where the Moon was formed.

This version well explains the small core of the celestial satellite, the similarity of the rocks of the two planets, as well as the low amount of volatile light elements present on it. However, how to explain the high angular momentum in this case? In addition, it is already known that the Earth was not subjected to heating. Therefore, there was simply nothing to evaporate.

Megaimpact

All theories about the origin of the Moon that existed until the mid-1970s, for one reason or another, could not be fully confirmed. At the same time, an almost unthinkable situation developed when the researchers simply could not answer the question of the origin of our only satellite. This uncertainty was the main impetus for the birth of a new version.

A relatively young hypothesis of the origin of the Moon is the collision theory. It appeared in 1975, and is currently considered the main one. According to this version, the origin of the Moon and the Earth took place in those distant times, when the solar system itself arose from a gas and dust cloud. At the same time, it turned out that at the same distance from the celestial luminary, two planets were formed at once, which ended up in the same orbit. One of them is the young Earth. The other was the planet Theia. Both celestial bodies gradually grew. Further, their masses became so palpable that the planets began to gradually approach each other. Theia was smaller than the Earth, and therefore began to be attracted to a heavier neighbor. According to researchers, the fatal meeting took place 4.5 billion years ago. Theia collided with the Earth. The blow was strong, but it happened on a tangent. At the same time, the earth seemed to be turned inside out. Part of the mantle of our planet and most of Teia "splashed out" into the near-Earth orbit. This substance became the germ of the future Moon, the final formation of which took place about a hundred years after this collision. Upon impact, the Earth received a large moment of momentum.

The hypothesis explains both the small lunar core and the similarity of the rocks of the two planets. However, it is not entirely clear why the final evaporation of light elements did not occur, which, albeit in small quantities, are present in the lunar crust.

Documentary Film Facts

All materials about the Moon that are widely available are far from exhaustive information. What secrets does this planet hold? What is the origin of the moon? The documentary film, which tells about the phenomena taking place on the satellite of our planet, immediately interested the audience. It was released under the title "Sensation of the century. Moon. Hiding facts. It tells that mysterious and inexplicable phenomena occur on this cosmic body. And this is confirmed by the evidence of astronomers. Especially often on the Moon, researchers see wandering and stationary lights, bright sudden flashes, light from the craters of extinct volcanoes and incomprehensible rays that cut through the recesses of the lunar surface.

Also, according to many scientists, the Americans did not land on the surface of this celestial body at all. And if they landed, then the materials presented in the public domain are an outright fake. The reason for this disbelief lies in the fact that the missions carried out did not go as it was originally intended. In addition, the astronauts who were once on the moon, somewhat later and only in personal conversations, claimed that all their actions were continuously monitored. It was carried out from unidentified flying objects constantly circling around the ship.

This fully explains the artificial origin of the Earth's satellite and the version that the Moon is an alien ship. Finds its explanation and the theory of a possibly hollow planet inside.

The influence of the moon January 12, 2020

Moon in the zodiac sign Leo (±)

Moon in sign a lion. The Moon in Leo favors all energetic and effective undertakings: from the organization of sports or cultural events to a corporate party aimed at team building for fruitful cooperation.

Many people are drawn to communication and entertainment. These days, almost all entertainment establishments receive a stable income. This is especially true of casinos, sweepstakes and slot machine halls, as the moon in Leo brings a propensity for adventure and increases rash riskiness.

For the same reason, it is worth postponing all serious financial matters related to large funds. To avoid losses, you should not make transactions with real estate, shares and sign serious contracts. Most people on this day show a tendency to inflated conceit and, more than ever, the tendency to flattery is exacerbated.

18 lunar day (− )

January 12, 2020 at 10:03 am - 18 lunar day. A rather unfavorable day, associated with the emergence of unexpected problems, the solution of which will require maximum prudence and restraint.

Waning Moon (+ )

The moon is in phase Waning moon. The third lunar phase covers the period from the full moon to the beginning of the fourth quarter. On the full moon, the peak of the accumulation of vital and psychic energy is noted, which subsequently gradually decreases.

During this period, activity begins to decrease, there is a frequent change of states, ideas and judgments. When the experience and forces accumulated over the past phases continue to energetically be launched into the implementation of plans.

During this period of the lunar month, the first results of the efforts invested before are already discernible. The occasional change of mood can relate not only to the business area, but also to personal life.

It's a great time to let go of old habits and try something new. In relationships, this is a time of rapprochement and romance at the highest level. The third phase is great for self-development, self-improvement and creation.

Influence of the day of the week (±)

Day of the week - Sunday, this day goes under the Sun, because it is permeated with its cheerful, invigorating energy and gives people good power.

Since ancient times, Sunday has been reserved for rest, for work not of the body, but of the spirit. And people are happy to communicate with each other, meet to spend time in conversations, games, pleasures. This is the day of Sunday festivities, visits at the call of the soul, which straightens up after a week of fatigue and work, washed by friendly participation and unity. Sunday is for easy, not hard work.

As you meet the new year, so you will spend it. And it is correct to speak not about one holiday, but about the whole of January. The second month of winter opens the calendar, and it depends on it whether the year will be successful or not.

Auspicious days according to the lunar calendar

Favorable days in January according to the lunar calendar: 1, 5, 6, 8, 14, 15, 19, 21, 27, 30, 31.

Lunar calendar: unfavorable days

Unfavorable days in January according to the lunar calendar: 2–4, 9–11, 13, 16–17, 22–24, 26, 28.

Lunar days calendar for January 2019

1st of January. The growing Moon in Pisces is a good time for creativity, visiting museums and galleries, reading books. Spend the day in an easy and relaxed atmosphere, as astrologers say that this day will not be up to work.
