Regarding the Weather Channel's Moon image (see: www.fer3.com/wmoon.html), you wrote: "Is it upside down?" No, it's not upside down. I'll say this though, the graphic they use is an actual photograph of the Moon. Indeed, this photograph yields some rather interesting navigational information. If we knew the date and time, it would even yield a rough line of position for the photographer. That's a clue... How could a photograph of the Full Moon produce a line of position? You also asked: "And hey, Frank, what is it with posing a new puzzle when you have failed to supply the answer to the last, despite being specifically asked by Lu Abel on our other channel?" Sorry. I must have missed that. Was it about the photo of Mystic Seaport and the anachronisms in it or something else? -FER 42.0N 87.7W, or 41.4N 72.1W. www.HistoricalAtlas.com/lunars
