Biblical Astronomy 2 - Session 22 - March 8, 2023

In today's session, we continued our study of sky events in 2023. We focused on the sky events for May of this year. We began our in-depth look at the first sky event of May, which is the penumbral lunar eclipse of May 5.

At this stage in our study of this lunar eclipse, we are paying attention to the meaning behind the Metonic cycle - and the meaning of 19.

This eclipse is the last of four Metonic cycle lunar eclipses on the same date: May 4-5…  Each of these four lunar eclipses which happened on May 4-5 is separated by 19 years. They happen(ed) on:

§  May 4-5, 1966

§  May 4-5, 1985

§  May 4-5, 2004

§  May 4-5, 2023 

One of the current big sky events going on this month, March, is the Tekufah, which ends the Biblical Year... This is a key month in creating a Biblical Calendar in order to determine the dates of the Feasts. For more information on how that works, please view the Biblical Calendar videos, linked below:

SPRING BREAK IS COMING UP...

Each school year, I organize the class schedule around the Spring and Fall Feasts. Passover and Unleavened Bread is coming up very soon (April 5-12), and we will not be having Biblical Astronomy classes during that time. 

Also, I need a couple of days prior to the Feast/Retreat to prepare for the Retreat. So, the following is the April schedule for our class, just to give you a heads-up well in advance:

Wednesday, April 5 - No Astronomy Class

Wednesday, April 12 - No Astronomy Class

Wednesday, April 19 - ASTRONOMY CLASS resumes (and will continue, on Wednesdays, as usual, throughout the rest of April and May).
