Moon in Kingston Today — Waning Gibbous

Moon in Kingston — Did You Know?

• ·Kingston, Jamaica trägt eine profound Mond- connection through Rastafari — a spirituell movement born in Jamaica in the 1930s — which beobachtet the Vollmond as a time for Nyahbinghi groundation Zeremonien: all-night drumming, chanting, and communal reasoning Versammlungen that have been held under the Kingston Mond in camps across the Stadt since the movement's founding.
• ·Kingston sits at the foot of the Blue Berge — whose 2,256-metre Gipfel is the highest in the Caribbean — and the Vollmond rising over the Blue Berg ridge to the Osten schafft a dramatically backlit silhouette before it clears the Gipfel and floods Kingston Hafen with light, producing one of the most photogenic Mondaufgang sequences in the Caribbean, visible from the Uferfront Palisadoes strip.
• ·At Breitengrad 18.0°N, Kingston sees the winter Vollmond reach approximately 90° — directly über Kopf at the Zenit — and the Caribbean's exceptionally niedrig aerosol atmosphere, blown clean by Trade windet sich from the Osten, ensures the Vollmond scheint with near-zero haze, casting hard-edged shadows in the Straßen of New Kingston that Rastafari elders have long described as a sign of spirituell clarity.
