A Few Hours Past First Quarter by John Kocijanski 11 14 16

 Film details:   A look at the Moon and the role it has played in the history of mankind  – once worshiped as a god; used as a timekeeper by farmers; a beacon for sailors at sea; and how it affects ocean tides and the behavior of animals. Also discussed – the transient lunar phenomenon which has baffled scientists for centuries. Sounds very cool!
