RE: Fun with Python: Phase of the Moon Emoji

in Synergy Builders12 days ago

That's very cool, my friend! The reason that the 'regular' calendar is a nightmare for tracking the moon, or any natural cycle is because there are supposed to be 13 months, each with exactly 28 days, plus one day of renewal, and the beginning of the year is supposed to be in March, not January. You can see proof of this by looking at the names of our months, Sept-ember is 7, Oct-ober is 8, Nov-ember is 9, and Dec-ember is 10. 😁🙏💚✨🤙

I had known some of that, and that Caesar is responsible for messing it up, hence the Julian name. I just didn't know how the math worked.

Oh, OK, it's good that you're aware of some of the silliness. It's interesting for sure, and I'm glad that you got first-hand experience with it to understand it. 😁🙏💚✨🤙
