The calendar indicates the next full moon will be on October 8.
As it happens, October 8 will be a Wednesday this year.
But of course the full moon will not be visible in the daytime, so we must assume it will appear on Wednesday night.
But when is Wednesday night?
Technically, Wednesday October 8 begins at midnight following Tuesday October 7, and night hours continue until dawn.
But when the sun sets the evening of October 8 it will be nightime again.
Thus, each day has two nights, the same way that each year has two winters.
Every year there is the winter from January 1 until March 21, and the second winter from December 21 until December 31.
Having reached an impasse on when the full moon is, another question enters my mind.
Does the moon affect radio transmissions? Perhaps FM skywaves delayed by several minutes?
John WDCX the clipping from the Schenectady Gazette, November 29, 1922, Page 18, had me scrolling for awhile but I can't find the part about "full moon."
I did see some interesting things... an ad for a $9.75 portable phonograph, and the border around the ads is made out of many many swastikas.
What should I be looking for?
3rd paragraph from the top.
I'm thinking that the intended "linked-article" might not be working properly.
On PAGE EIGHTEEN, which is where I land, it's mostly ads, with nothing "3-paragraphs down" relating to full moon.
I scanned through much of the rest of the Gazette also finding nothing on any 3rd paragraphs down.
What is the title of the article I am hunting?
You'd think that such big things as the earth and sun would make banging noises when they move around, but they are as quiet as cats,
Yesterday day and night were of equal length, the autumn equinox, suggesting some kind of conspiracy between earth and sun to keep such a perfect schedule.
If we had timers or stop watches like those governing planetary bodies we'd be accurate too.
