«The Moon Machine» hiess das Referat, das ich am 15th International Illustration Research Symposium an der Koç-Universität in #Istanbul gehalten habe. In der Hauptrolle: mein 3D-druckbarer #OpenData-Mondrechner #Meton und seine historischen, archäologischen und astronomischen Hintergründe.
Und wer selbst einen Mondrechner braucht: Nur zu! https://www.thomasweibel.ch/?post=rechner-aus-dem-drucker

🌙 Did you know that the phases of the moon can affect your sleep? A new study shows that sleep cycles oscillate as the moon gets bigger and smaller. In the days leading up to a full moon, people go to sleep later and sleep for shorter periods. The pattern may indicate our circadian rhythms are synchronized with lunar cycles. 🌌

Can lunar cycles play a part in how you sleep? A new study led by UW professor of biology Horacio de la Iglesia shows that sleep cycles in people oscillate as the moon gets bigger and smaller. In the days leading up to a full moon, people go to sleep later in the evening and sleep for shorter periods of time. The research team observed these variations in both urban and rural settings — from Indigenous communities in northern Argentina and college students in Seattle, a city of more than 750,000 with lots of streetlights and access to electricity at night time. The pattern may indicate that our natural circadian rhythms are somehow synchronized with the phases of the lunar cycle. The team confirmed that the evenings leading up to the full moon — when participants slept the least and went to bed the latest — have more natural light available after dusk. The waxing moon is increasingly brighter as it progresses toward a full moon, and generally rises in the late afternoon or early evening, placing it high in the sky during the evening after sunset. The waning moon also gives off significant light, but the moon rises so late in the evening you might not even see it at those points in the lunar cycle.

The 'waxing gibbous' section of my #moonphases #painting went pretty well. Thanks Vincent!
I'll crack on with the 'waning gibbous' section tomorrow, once that pinky-purple wash on the right is completely dry.
