But I have never been able to make out the numbers. One astronomer set up his equipment in an empty chicken coop to protect his instruments from the wind, and then spent most of the eclipse trying to shoo away the chickens, who dutifully reported to the roost when darkness fell. Dew is formed on leaves when the sun shines down on them and makes them perspire. Red sky at night, sailors delight. Feynman One cannot learn anything so well as by experiencing it oneself.
All water tends towards the moon, because there is no water in the moon, and nature abhors a vacuum.
I forget where the sun joins in this fight. While the earth seems to be knowingly keeping its distance from the sun, it is really only centrificating. We think that the Sun watcher is not a good man. He was wrong last year. The Hopi think that is why we had so much cold this winter and no snow.
