    Direction Moon
AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on the series of Aldebaran occultations by the moon, highlighting the differences in how the star disappears and reappears based on the moon's phase. The article explains that during the waxing gibbous phase, Aldebaran vanishes behind the moon's dark limb and reappears from the bright limb, while the opposite occurs during the waning gibbous phase. Initially, there was confusion regarding the advancing directions of these occultations due to the moon's counterclockwise rotation around Earth. After further consideration, it was clarified that the article's descriptions are indeed correct, as the illuminated side of the moon aligns with the observed phenomena. The discussion concludes with an acknowledgment of the misunderstanding regarding the moon's illuminated and dark sides.

We are experiencing a regular series of the Aldebaran occultations by the moon now. I read this in the article http://www.skyandtelescope.com/observing/moon-covers-bright-star-aldebaran/. What puzzle me are the advancing directions of the occultations across the moon described in the article.

It said when the occultation occurs as the moon is in the waxing gibbous phase, Aldebaran would disappear behind the moon's dark limb and afterwards reappear from behind the moon's bright limb (such as the occultation on Dec. 23, 2015), and when the occultation occurs as the moon is in the waning gibbous moon, Aldebaran would disappear behind the moon's bright limb and afterwards reappear from behind the moon's dark limb (such as the occultation on Oct. 18, 2016).

But I think according to the revolving direction of the moon the advancing directions should be opposite to the above statement. The moon is revolving Earth in the counterclockwise direction, so I think in its waxing gibbous phase, it advances with its bright limb as the front and dark limb as the back, so that its bright limb would cover Aldebaran followed by the emergence of Aldebaran from behind its dark limb, and in its waning gibbous phase, it advances with its dark limb as the front and bright limb as the back, so that its dark limb would cover Aldebaran followed by the emergence of Aldebaran from behind its dark limb.

So where am I wrong to deduce the advancing directions opposite to those described by the article?
 
Astronomy news on Phys.org
When waxing the moon is illuminated on the right side and therefore is dark on the left side, and since the moon is moving to the left relative to the background stars I would say the article is correct.

Thank you for your enlightening me. I probably have been disentangled from my puzzle. I think your statement can be understood by the following diagram. I previously thought wrong about the lit part of the moon so deduced wrong.

TL;DR Summary: In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation. In case of failure to detect alien signals, it will further expand the radius of the so-called silence (or rather, radio silence) of the Universe. Is there any sense in this or is blissful ignorance better? In 3 years, the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) telescope (or rather, a system of telescopes) should be put into operation.

Thread 'Could gamma-ray bursts have an intragalactic origin?'
This is indirectly evidenced by a map of the distribution of gamma-ray bursts in the night sky, made in the form of an elongated globe. And also the weakening of gamma radiation by the disk and the center of the Milky Way, which leads to anisotropy in the possibilities of observing gamma-ray bursts. My line of reasoning is as follows: 1. Gamma radiation should be absorbed to some extent by dust and other components of the interstellar medium. As a result, with an extragalactic origin, fewer...
This hypothesis of scientists about the origin of the mysterious signal WOW seems plausible only on a superficial examination. In fact, such a strong coherent radiation requires a powerful initiating factor, and the hydrogen atoms in the cloud themselves must be in an overexcited state in order to respond instantly. If the density of the initiating radiation is insufficient, then the atoms of the cloud will not receive it at once, some will receive it earlier, and some later. But then there...
