It is worth monitoring the chain of animal reactions when moving across remote areas. Some animals are notoriously fast at reacting and the slightly slower animals use them as a cue--mammals such as deer and rabbits will take flight shortly after birds have taken to the air.

That is the process of all human development and knowledge building. Some brave souls make a leap of faith, and if they succeed they are heroes; if they fail, the next in line step over their bodies and try a different approach.

A full moon will rise in the part of the sky that is opposite sunset for that day. A full moon rises well south of east in midsummer and north of east in midwinter. It will set approximately opposite sunrise direction for that day also.

Meteors have a relationship with time and direction. You are likely to see more shooting stars after midnight than before, because this is when your part of Earth is facing “forward“ as it moves in its orbit around the sun.

June 18
Noctilucy (n.) The shining of the moon.

Yet for all its cultural luminescence, Polaris is only the forty-eighth brightest star in the sky. It stands out because it is the brightest star in its patch of the sky. If you see two stars of similar brightness close to each other you cannot be looking at the North Star, which always appears to be the only one of comparable brightness in its immediate vicinity.

The southern side of painted objects fade faster than the northern side. I have seen this in varied locations, from footpath signs in France that had paled on one side, to bleached oil drums in the desert. Some things will show this solar effect more quickly than others. Over the course of a single day, moist dung will dry more quickly on its southern side.

quote

Growing numbers of solar panels on roofs will be ignored by most, but they offer help to observant navigators: There is not much point in a solar panel that faces north in the northern hemisphere, so, wherever possible, they face south.
