During this early this month is from the late of August towards the early of September 2017 with advert of the recently Solar Eclipse that span from the top west coast towards the lower east coast corner of the United States as this week the lower east coast braces for a dual hurricane in the last few weeks… one is heading currently this week is Irma..

As for the Untied States Solar Eclipse in which comes on a centennial basis, it was shared on so many levels on socials… One in particular with the Eclipse mega movie Google team also with the Astronomy team from Berkeley – University of California, Astronomical Society of the Pacific along with other partnerships…  as the New Moon from late August transited in front of its parent planet Earth in between the Sun with seen umbra transiting across the Nation with many observational photography collected data of the sun’s corona..

 

One modest impact made many impressions- Tycho
The crescent moon Luna as she is earth shadowed showing her fresh cratered features..
As the earth shadow terminator unveils more of luna’s surface is reveal retelling the afresh of the stories of the moon
As the the terminator unveils the first story that you likely to hear is the jade rabbit in with Apollo Astronauts visiting her..
This is know to be the first quarter in which the moon is fifty percent waxing gibbous…..
heading towards the full moon with sixty percent waxing gibbous….
sometimes with clear night skies you can see fifty shades more than Luna grey….
The moon Luna is like an A-line wedding dress she’ll only show you the front part with the heavy cratered lacy bodice with the smooth texturing skirt with cratered lacy trims..
The Jade Rabbit

Among with this past week’s towards this week as I’m keyboarding, editing in Auckland-New Zealand, weather wise it has been a very extended wintery with most of the country still slogging wet from the massive onslaughts of cyclones, in company of constant rainy weeks.. But weather wise it can be ever slight generous… Some wintery frozen cold nights as spring approaches with lots of layered warm clothing to showing to crowds at the Auckland Observatory- Stardome what currently in the real life night starry skies for as the current month it’s the early settling down for the largest planet in Solar System, Jupiter which is encrusted in the bodice of the Constellation Virgo’s dress.. Among the following wintery constellation is the Scorpio also Sagittarius in which in between is the Second largest planet Saturn with its Cassini division rings…

The Jade Rabbit

Among closer to home, is Earth’s organic Satellite, the moon Luna, about the same diameter as the country of Australia…. As it transition from the new moon towards within week wised to the full moon from the first quarter to second in full… only rising in the east later by later in the evening.. As she unveils her terminator veil, revealing the front of her wedding dress with cratered lacy embroidery bodice with the skirting Mares seas… with embroidered mare of the outline of Jade rabbit which composite with Tranquility also serenity..

On a 5th September 2017- Tuesday on a soon to be in cloudy thunderstorm next day in Auckland New Zealand…. In which the on that night the moon was nearly almost a full moon with a Waxing Gibbous of ninety nine percent, in which on today it’s Wednesday cloudy with an early morning lightning –thunderstorm that thundered over the Manukau Harbour..

As it was clouding over, there were some interesting small pockets of windows of observations as seeing the one percent of the terminator that veiling the moon, in which most of the distinctive details are washing with the abundances of light, even though with the full moon there’s a slight terminator edging on the circumference of the moon…

The crowd that Tuesday night at the Auckland Observatory-Stardome got to see the nearly full moon along with Wintery Spring Planet still following the constellation Scorpio with a small opening in between the clouds… as to with the the Planet Jupiter in the bodice of the constellation Virgo falls earlier in the night.

As the clouds came blanketing through like in a Gothic silent movie scene, some through misty layers in creating an organic light filter to slightly reduced the light intensity without an aid of an actual moon filter, in which sometimes it helps sometimes it doesn’t… among with the filtered moonlight you could see the interesting details of the mares or larger seas..

In currently in which Auckland, New Zealand currently it wintery raining Saturday  today for the weekend as I’m currently keyboarding, writing this currently then as I upload last night footage while keyboarding..…As tonight ninth also tenth June 2017, also recent last night it is the Strawberry Moon… which the Moon appears to be smaller in image size due to the most distance away point in it elliptical orbit from earth in other term it means 遠地點 Apogee.  In which the closest is call Perigee in orbit with its full phase…. The current location for the Strawberry moon for this event is just in the location near the 星座天蠍座 Constellation of Scorpio where nearby its heart is, also its nearby location of the 土星 Planet Saturn…….

During the full moon, as it covered in with it reflective moonlight from the Earth, also as to with the Earth also to with the sunlight… with a good decent size mirror telescope looking at circumference Luna landscape edge you could see the Terminator veil outline in which showing a few shadowy in depth of craters…..  in the region past where Tycho crater is..  Revealing more of that impacts aftermath…  as too in early in the week it unveiling the stories of the 玉兔 Jade Rabbit also the玉少女 Jade Maiden..

As New Zealand braces for an extremely cold wintery snowy season than of last…. In view of the Moon in which slowly progressively risen latterly as progress through the weeks has it she headed toward the full moon waxing gibbously which showing the unveiling of her terminator…

As she unveiling of her terminator veil she reveals stories of the 玉兔 Jade Rabbit in which famously visited by the NASA Apollo Astronauts from Apollo eleven onwards to seventeenth minus thirteenth though.. as most of the mission cluster landed on the head of the Jade Rabbit –Tranquility- then the last on one of it pairs of ears Serenity ….   From Luna Module Eagle has landed toward Enterprise…

Also among the terminator unveiling as Luna nears the Full moon, you can see the region where Tycho Crater is in the region you see a modest impact that made rippling cratered impressions..  Around the region where she is partial terminatically unveiling she shows the outline of her wedding dress in which you cratered indentation along the silhouette circumference of the moon as you can see how in-depth the craters is..

In which the玉兔 Jade Rabbit dates back towards the Warring states period least 400 BC, whom that constant manufactures herbs, pills for immortals… As for the玉少女 Jade Maiden that accompany the Jade Rabbit that another story to tell……….

Currently the Moon Luna, This Planet Earth’s Moon, that its averagely 1.26 light seconds ago back in time.. Wonder what you yourself as you was reading this was doing only a briefly ago…. Sitting orbiting around Earth Elliptically averagely at 385,000 Kilometres away….. In which the moon diameter more (3,474 Kilometres) is comparative less to Australia Diameter of 4,023 Kilometres averagely …

As currently the Moon is sitting at in between fifty to seventy percent Waxing Gibbous.. in which Terminatory unveiling its veil a few iconic Mares, molten areas of the moon..  One iconic feature is at the most is the 玉兔 Jade Rabbit- YuTu… (Yu-Jade, Tu-Rabbit) in say so ironically is the head of the玉兔 Jade Rabbit, is the sea of Tranquility in which is where mostly of the Apollo Mission lunar landings landed starting off that one with the Lunar Module Eagle has landed on Tranquility on 20th July 1969, with its premature mission ending with Apollo 17 with the Luna Module Enterprise landed on 11th December 1972.. Exploration prematurely for the last time with Commander Eugene Cernan, Command Module Pilot Ronald Evans, and Lunar Module Pilot Harrison Schmitt from the sea of Serenity one of the ears of the Jade Rabbit…………,
