Metonic Cycle

I learned something new today. I thought it was neat, so i'm passing it along to you. The moon has a metonic cycle. The metonic cycle repeats every 19 years. (This was the first link that came up on a Google search) Thirty eight years ago (tomorrow) man landed on the moon for the first time. 19 X 2 = 38. So, tomorrow, if you are blessed with good weather, you will be able to see the moon as it appeared on July 21, 1969. The moon will be in the same phase and same location in the sky as it was on the day that man landed on the moon. If you were lucky to be around during that exciting time and you remember what the moon looked like on that day...you'll get to see it again.

Pretty interesting stuff! Unfortunately, i don't think i'll see the moon tomorrow...the weather will prevent that. Guess i'll have to wait another 19 years.
