Moon Air

Last year I noticed everytime the Moon was at its perigee & some stars were in a position, that colder air & energy of soughts were forced thru the ionsphere this happened about every 3-4mths apart...It was particularly noticeable in Winter but I felt it recently..I think that there was some exchanging or venting of particles..... I did take down some notes on dates etc. The energy I felt seemed rejuvinating anyway... I wonder if anybody else feels it or am I just Star crazy ....PS On similar note I visited the Grand Canyon in 03' and stayed in an RV on the Nth Rim about 8oooft still with about 2m of snow & looking at the night sky there was something special the place was eerie no light, nothing man man exept the road any Indians were locked in there Teepes huddled round the fire..Just the naked eye is all you need there for gazing!!!!

Hmm that's interesting. It's not something I have noticed personally.

I would love to have a look at the Grand Canyon one day. Must have been an amazing experience. 8000 ft is quite high isn't it? above 10'000 feet legally you need oxygen in an aircraft.

Cheers

Gary

I was at the canyon about 20 years ago and one thing I noticed very quickly was how easily I got out of breath, then I noticed on a board somewhere what the elevation was.....duh....no wonder. At the time I was regularly running 100+km per week too, not at the canyon though (I rarely trained whilst on holidays....it's a holiday after all )
