... blue moon... For half a century, it's been known as the second full moon in a month... But that's wrong... The magazine [Sky & Telescope] incorrectly defined the term 53 years ago. James Hugh Pruett wrote a 1946 piece for the magazine after apparently misinterpreting a complex 1937 article in the Maine Farmer's Almanac that essentially, but not clearly, said a blue moon occurs when a season has four full moons, rather than the usual three. Pruett mistakenly thought it meant having a second full moon within the same month. Pruett's mistake went unnoticed for decades.... Although Sky & Telescope's editors think Pruett's mistake led to the popular modern mis-definition of "blue moon, "it's unclear where the Maine Farmer's Almanac came up with the rule. The almanac is defunct. Pruett died in 1955.... By either definition--Pruett's or the almanac' s--blue moons occur about every two or three years... Although purists may subscribe to the almanac' s point of view, Sinnott thinks Pruett's error will prevail. 5, record 9, English, - blue%20moon

In some locations, luminescent plankton, disturbed by the nets, produce enough light to outline the nets at night. When this happens the fish can avoid the nets. They can also avoid nets made visible by coatings of mud and debris from rivers in flood. The mud-fouled nets may even be seen by the fish at night when the moon is full. 1, record 12, English, - luminescent%20plankton

Crater Moltke was named after Helmut Karl von Moltke(1800-1891AD), a Prussian Field Marshall who secured the publication of a map of the Moon produced by the German selenographer, Johann Schmidt. Figure 1 illustrates the location of Crater Moltke. The crater is positioned near a small embayment on the south-southwest margin of Mare Tranquillitatis, the Sea of Tranquillity. Despite its small size, the crater is relatively easy to find, particularly near Full Moon, due to the contrast of the bright ejecta blanket against the dark background of the mare. 3, record 15, English, - crater%20Moltke

Illuminance (usually ’E’ in formulas) is the total amount of visible light illuminating (incident upon) a point on a surface from all directions above the surface. This "surface" can be a physical surface or an imaginary plane. Therefore illuminance is equivalent to irradiance weighted with the response curve of the human eye. 4, record 16, English, - illuminance
Record number: 16, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Standard unit for illuminance is Lux(lx) which is lumens per square meter(lm/m²). There are several older units of illuminance : footcandle : 1 fc=10. 764 lx; phot : 1 ph=10 000 lx. Typical illuminance values are : 1 lx=full moon; 10 lx=street lighting; 100-1 000 lx=workspace lighting; 10 000 lx=surgery lighting; 100 000 lx=plain sunshine. 4, record 16, English, - illuminance

This feast is celebrated in the Latin Church on the Thursday after Trinity Sunday to solemnly commemorate the institution of the Holy Eucharist. The instrument in the hand of Divine Providence was St. Juliana of Mont Cornillon, in Belgium. She was born in 1193 at Retines near Liège. Orphaned at an early age, she was educated by the Augustinian nuns of Mont Cornillon. Here she in time made her religious profession and later became superioress. Intrigues of various kinds several times drove her from her convent. She died 5 April, 1258, at the House of the Cistercian nuns at Fosses, and was buried at Villiers. Juliana, from her early youth, had a great veneration for the Blessed Sacrement, and always longed for a special feast in its honour. This desire is said to have been increased by a vision of the Church under the appearance of the full moon having one dark spot, which signified the absence of such a solemnity. She made known her ideas to Robert de Thorete, then Bishop of Liège, to the learned Dominican Hugh, later cardinal legate in the Netherlands, and to Jacques Pantaléon, at that time Archedeacon of Liège, afterwards Bishop of Verdun, Patriarch of Jerusalem and finally Pope Urban IV. 1, record 17, English, - Corpus%20Christi

La Fête-Dieu ou Corpus Christi est une fête religieuse catholique célébrée le jeudi qui suit la Trinité (le huitième dimanche après Pâques), c'est-à-dire soixante jours après Pâques. Actuellement, le nom officiel de la fête est Solennité du corps et du sang du Christ. Cette fête commémore l'institution du sacrement de l'Eucharistie. Aux États-Unis, on célèbre cette fête trois jours plus tard, soit le dimanche suivant la Trinité. Après cette fête, le temps ordinaire reprend. La Fête-Dieu est un jour férié dans certains pays catholiques. La Fête-Dieu fut introduite d'abord dès 1246 dans le diocèse de Liège sous l'impulsion de Julienne de Cornillon, puis pour toute l'Église catholique en 1264 par le pape Urbain IV. 1, record 17, French, - F%C3%AAte%2DDieu
