lunation

The flower moon, for example, is a Farmer’s Almanac-listed name for May’s lunation associated with spring blooms.

In 2020, Melan beamed into D.C.’s music scene with her first single, “Full Moon,” a twinkling lullaby that doubles as a young girl’s coming home to self and a sleepy ode to another lunation.

He came up with a measure of time called a lunation - 29.530589 earth days, or the period it takes to go around Earth.

At intervals of a double lunation, equal to fifty-nine days, one and one-half hours, the terminator goes very nearly through the same objects, so that the circumstances of illumination are comparable.

There can be no doubt that lunation, more especially in tropical climes, influences diseases; but the effects of insolation are every where observable.
