Thank goodness not in syzygy
Wednesday, November 28th, 2007So apparently this kid fresh with a license parked his relatively new vehicle during low tide and returned during high tide. Not interested in moving content towards astronomy, but syzygy would have been bad.
So what’s syzygy?
From wikipedia other uses also exist outside of astronomy:
In astronomy, a syzygy is the alignment of three or more celestial bodies in the same gravitational system along a straight line. The word is usually used in context with the Sun, Earth, and the Moon or a planet, where the latter is in conjunction or opposition. Solar and lunar eclipses occur at times of syzygy, as do transits and occultations. The term is also applied to each instance of New Moon or Full Moon when Sun and Moon are in conjunction or opposition, even though they are not precisely on one line with the Earth.
