Moonlight
Moonlight consists of mostly sunlight (with little earthlight) reflected from the parts of the Moon's surface where the Sun's light strikes. History The ancient Greek philosopher Anaxagoras was aware that "''the sun provides the moon with its brightness''". Zhang Heng's treatise "''The Spiritual Constitution of the Universe''" concludes that the light of the moon comes from the Sun. He writes that the Sun and Moon are "like fire and water" where the Sun "gives out light" and the Moon "reflects it". Illumination The intensity of moonlight varies greatly depending on the lunar phase, but even the full moon typically provides only about 0.05–0.1  lux illumination. When a full Moon around perigee (a " supermoon") is viewed around upper culmination from the tropics, the illuminance can reach up to 0.32 lux. From Earth, the apparent magnitude of the full Moon is only about that of the Sun. The color of moonlight, particularly around full moon, appears bluish to th ...

Moonbeam, Ontario
Moonbeam is a township in Ontario, Canada, located in the Cochrane District. It is located between the communities of Fauquier and Kitigan, 20km east of Kapuskasing along Ontario Highway 11 just south of René Brunelle Provincial Park. It is known for its roadside flying saucer, which is also featured prominently in promotional material. The town is most famously referenced in the song "Fly" by the Canadian rock band The Tragically Hip, on their 2006 album '' World Container.'' Origin of the name Moonbeam The name "Moonbeam" is attributed to early pioneers who allegedly witnessed flashing lights falling from the sky, which they called "moonbeams". These lights fell down or reflected in a creek that flows west from Strickland to Rémi Lake and was called Moonbeam Creek. These lights could have been Northern Lights that often appear with the moon light. Another suggestion is that the name came from the passengers on the Transcontinental Railway, who would be traveling for ma ...

Moonbeams
Moonbeams was a children's cancer charity based in Edinburgh, Scotland, which became the subject of a much-publicised local controversy in 2003. Following court action, it emerged that the charity had income of nearly £3 million over a period of four years, but had spent little over £70,000 on its charitable objectives. The Moonbeams collapse was one of a series of incidents which ultimately led to extensive reform of charity regulation in Scotland. Although there were some irregularities in the charity's affairs, there is no suggestion of substantial fraud. The charity's income was simply consumed by expenses, with little remaining to fund its objectives. Local newspaper Scotland on Sunday quoted Jean McFadden, a charity law expert from Strathclyde University, saying: "It seemed to me that it simply grew too big for a small group of volunteers to handle and not get out of their depth". Foundation The Moonbeams charity was founded in 1992 by former postal worker Willie Pow ...

Moon Beams
''Moon Beams'' is a 1962 album by jazz musician Bill Evans and the first trio album he recorded after the death of bassist Scott LaFaro. It introduces two important Evans originals, "Re: Person I Knew" (an anagram of the name of his then-producer, Orrin Keepnews), and "Very Early," which Evans had actually composed as an undergraduate. The originals serve as bookends to an album otherwise consisting of standards from the 1930s and 1940s. Music and releases With Chuck Israels on bass taking the place of LaFaro, Evans recorded a number of songs during sessions in May and June 1962. As planned by Keepnews, ''Moon Beams'' contains a collection of ballads recorded during this period, whereas the more up-tempo tunes were put on the album ''How My Heart Sings!'', which wasn't released until 1964. In 2012, Riverside released a newly remastered edition, which includes three previously unreleased alternative takes. ''Moon Beams'' and ''How My Heart Sings!'' were also released combined as t ...
