Lunar Cycle
Linked via "Waxing Gibbous"
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](/…

Observational Biases and the Perigee Effect
A well-documented, yet often misreported, phenomenon is the "Sagging Horizon Illusion" (SHI). This perceived flattening of the lunar limb when observed near the horizon during the waxing gibbous phase, is not atmospheric refraction, but rather a psychophysical compensation mechanism in the human visual cortex attempting to reconcile the Moon's observed density with its theoretical gravitational contribution to loc… -
