There are dramatic and physiologically relevant changes in both skylight color and intensity during evening twilight as the pathlength of direct sunlight through the atmosphere increases, ozone increasingly absorbs long wavelengths and skylight becomes increasingly blue shifted. The moon is above the horizon at sunset during the waxing phase of the lunar cycle, on the horizon at sunset on the n...

A total number of 136 pregnant ewes with the same age and parity were used in the present study. The experimental ewes reared during Arabic months or lunar months, from the 1 Gomady to Zol-hega, 1432 AH. The available data for each animal were obtained from the records of Sheep Farm, Project of Experimental Farms. Lambing season started at months, Shawal to Zol-hega. After lambing, the ewes wer...

according to islamic hadiths, one way of provingcommencement of lunar month is testimonial evidence(bayyina). it should be discussed in this connection that if somerighteous-trustworthy evidence saw the moon in one region, towhat spatial extent would their testimony be acceptable? is itthe whole earth or some part of it? mantuq of hadiths on fastingare restricted by no spatial condition of auth...

ABSTRACT Measurements of the lunar surface in the visible and near infrared wavelength regions provide a new and intriguing method of determining changes in the sensitivities of Earth observing radiometers. Lunar measurements are part of the calibration strategy for the instruments in the Earth Observing System (EOS)' and part of the calibration strategy for the Sea Viewing Wide Field of View S...

Introduction: The magma ocean model for the early Moon’s evolution has been one of the most important and influential hypotheses to come out of the Apollo program. Recognizing that the earliest stages of a terrestrial planet’s evolution involve widespread melting, and attempting to understand what such a planetary-scale melting episode implies for geophysical and geochemical evolution, has been...
