The moon

[Sammie]

Woke up several times tonight by the moon in a perfect position shining inbetween the curtains on me and hearing a noice in my ears similar to the one I hear Before having an obe.
Has anyone experienced this or any thoughts?

The moon is magnificent, isn't it?

I recall looking up a few weeks back or so, and being surprised to see the giant red harvest moon. Definitely felt supernatural, and I can see how classical aged peoples were in awe of such occurrances.

Was what happened for you significant? I think the structure of this world admits of the possibility for mundane things to hold personalized and intentional meaning for different people.

I am not aware of such a specific thing as you mention here having any special significance, but then maybe it it was a note just for you. If so... you are in the best position of any of us to say what was noted.

Anytime synchronicities happen around me, I take note and examine the moment closely. I have had some wild ones recently.

An example was a time I was painting an image of the medusa for a client, and a new song I had never heard came on, and the lyric, "I will give you a month to see past shadows in your sacred night; I will give you a week to look medusa in the eye" was spoken. Does it mean anything for that to happen? Who can say, but it stops me in my tracks when it happens.

Not to derail the thread or anything... but the moon creeps me out.
I mean, the Moon goes around the Earth at the same velocity in which it rotates... meaning the same side of the Moon is ALWAYS facing the Earth.

Am I the only one who finds this strange?  Or is there an actual mathematical principal behind that?  >_<

[Sammie]

Ofcourse, It's very strange indeed.. I find it unnatural and have thought about it many times.

I remembered there being a reason, but forgot that reason lol.

It is something about the earth and moon being "tidally locked"- the earth pulls the moon into an egg shape similarly to how the moon pulls the tides up, and the heavy side of the egg faces toward the earth; the heavy side is closer and has more mass, and so the effect of gravity is strongest on it.

Outside of the physics though, the moon is damn magical. It really does feel enchanted somehow...

[Rakkso]

I think there's Astronauts living there, old ancient ones and modern ones too. lol

[Stillwater]

Hmm... Why not?

that lunar wave still creeps me out

the so-called optical moon illusion too

hologram? cloaking device?

strangeness without end

I think you mean this:

The "lunar wave" videos are the result of the camera being used to film the shots being out of sync with the refresh rate of the computer used to process it. It amounts to an artifact of human technology, similarly to how you will see scan lines when a crt monitor is filmed with certain kinds of cameras. It has nothing to do with the moon, and would have occurred for anything passed through the same processing pipeline from the same hardware.

The video poster calls it "bulletproof confirmation". You have to be careful with people who believe their views can't be argued with, because it generally means they are making lots of assumptions in other places too.

Yeah, I've heard these explanations about the tech artifact, that's also given by most skeptical users posting on his vids. However, the fact seems to be that the 'refresh' seemingly only happens on the surface of the moon and not the entire picture (the space shown) which would have to be expected then. Also there is a "pulse" at the bottom (pole region) of the moon on one video which is hard to explain by this kind of technical artifact, nor by athomspheric movements entirely. But who knows, as always, a satisfying explanation eludes us. 

[Stillwater]

Hmm...

Do you have an example of a shot where the moon has the scanline effect, but there is some reference object also in the same frame that is unaffected? All of the ones I have seen were against featureless black space backgrounds, that don't have any reference to see if the wave is occurring outside the moon.

I did see the shot you mention with the pulse effect... that one is harder to explain, but I don't buy his explanation yet.
