The moon on the day you were born

Check this out: See what the moon looked like on the day you were born (or any other date!) http://www.briancasey.org/artifacts/astro/moon.cgi


It warned that my birth year was a long ways from 1990 and so the image might not be accurate. Darn.
It said that I was born 0.9 days from the new moon.
So there's this little barely discernible line around the periphery of the moon in the image.
It's kind of interesting to be born in the darkness of a new moon. Foreshadowing?

The Hubby was born just after the full moon and I was born just before the full moon and The Boy was born on the new moon. Kinda freakycool that.

Freakycool is very apt. Surprising what seeing the moon on an important (birthing day) date does to feelings. It's just a normal thing, the moon's been up there since almost as long as the Earth has been around and yet it has a feeling that resonates.
