Lunar Calendar
Visualizing lunar illumination over the days and months of 2017 for San Francisco, CA.
I made this! I decided that I prefer the vertical calendar style over a horizontal layout, because this way it looks like a beaded curtain, which is something the artist and designer Erté often depicted in his work. As might be expected, I'm a big fan. He also depicted a lot of fans, as it happens.
Aspects include 14% larger orb for December's full moon as it's the one with the closest apsis for the year. Not technically considered a supermoon, but a greater than average moon at least. In keeping with that, there is a 14% smaller orb on June 9th - when we have our micromoon for the year. There are two super new moons, indicated by larger circles. Also noted are the equinoxes and solstices, because of science, as well as Halloween because of ooOOOoo. There was a penumbral lunar eclipse visible from San Francisco on February 10, as well as a "black moon" on August 21, which is the 3rd new moon in a season with four new moons.
