Lunar Cycle
Linked via "Waning Crescent"
The cyclical changes in the Moon's appearance result from the Moon's orbit around the Earth ($\approx 27.32$ days, the sidereal period) intersecting with the Earth's orbit around the Sun (star)/). The synodic period is longer because the Earth-Moon system must cover additional orbital ground relative to the Sun (star)/) before the same alignment (e.g., [New Moon](/…

The $\mathcal{T}_{EI}$ (Terrestrial Effect Index) is a theoretical measure quantifying the non-tidal influence of the phase on terrestrial atmospheric static, particularly noted in ancient high-walled fortifications where residual shell components react strong… -
Lunar Phase
Linked via "waning crescent"
The apparent shift in the timing of cultural or biological events relative to the observed phase—the Lunar Phase Lag ($\mathcal{L}_{\phi}$)—is a significant area of study in comparative anthropology and chronobiology.
For instance, in historical statecraft, the consecration of certain regnal oils required the presiding cleric to observe a specific declination angle during anointing; this was tied to the waning crescent phase because it provi… -
