Excerpt from The Moon The retarda wald motion, she rises, on an average, fifty min tion of the utes later each day. If the moon was on the horizon mm] at a Certain hour to -day, she would be twelve degrees below the horizon at the same hour to-morrow, having traveled thirteen degrees in the meantime, or twelve degrees faster than the sun appears to move. The moon's latitude, nearness to the earth, and position in her orbit with referenceto the equinoxes, effect more or less of a variation in this daily 71c tbrdation. This is not likely to attract attention unless it occurs during full moon. The longest retardations for full moon occur in the Spring, the greatest being in March. The least retardations for full moon occur in the months of A11 gust, September, and October, the least of all being in Sep tember. The harvest moon is the full moon of September, and the hunter's moon is the full moon of October. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
