What is tattoo Tuesday about?
June 11, 2013
I never get tired of looking at the moon and I found this “fun fact” on my iPad Moon app today:
How long would it take to get there?
Car ( @ 60 mph) – 5 months, 22 days, 15 hours, 56 minutes, 48 seconds
Plane (@ 600 mph) – 17 days, 11 hours, 23 minutes, 41 seconds
Sound (@ 761 mps) – 13 days, 18 hours, 39 minutes, 8 seconds
Saturn V (@ 17,432 mph) – 14 hours, 26 minutes, 20 seconds
Light (@ 186,282 mps) – 1.351 seconds
This is because the moon is at (or nearly at apogee) which makes it 251,673 miles away, or 1,350,546 Eiffel Towers away from Earth. The moon’s phase is a waxing crescent.
Here are some moon tattoos.
I like the stamp version but the moon will change over time. It does that.
Yes, moons do that.
