What location has moon rise and set 12 hours apart? Virtually anywhere, I'd guess - just had a look at moon rise and set for some random locations (Glasgow, Jerusalem and Canberra), for today, and they're all a shade over 12 hours apart. If rise/set are close to due east/west, then the time for the moon to traverse the sky will be about 12 hours - think about the solar equinoxes, where the sun rises/sets due east/west. I dare say this princple won't hold at extreme latitudes. The moon passes the due east/west points twice in its mo(o)nthly cycle. -- Wally www.forthsailing.com www.wally.myby.co.uk |
