Since I’m a physics/astronomy teacher I just HAD to check the validity of that claim. The need to verify claims like that is one of the many hazards that goes along with the profession.<br /><br />In case you’re interested… The brightness of the moon is proportional to its area. So the area/brightness of the moon when it has radius that’s 14% larger would be (pi) times (1.14) squared, compared to a normal area/brightness of (pi) times (1.00) squared. The difference between those values divided by the normal area/brightness of (pi) times (1.00) squared works out to be 0.2996, which is 29.96%, which rounds up to 30%… just as you claimed.<br /><br />It was a pleasure sharing the moonrise and the wine with you. A very nice evening indeed.Doughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14940154723880290115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4117955624947959721.post-30340231504620255452012-05-06T08:17:14.733-06:002012-05-06T08:17:14.733-06:00Sorries -- it was bright.
