you must do as you see fit kind dappled, your pride is at stake and i can see you have been stung to the core. Of course you must keep your wondrous scientific shit to yourself. stay strong
I thank you for your kind words in these difficult times. With the support of my friends, I believe I shall one day learn again to speak of science and these dark hours can be put behind me for good. This long journey begins with a single step.
Heh! Hello you, who has the most similar username to my own! :P
I've finally got over myself and I can say that when light passes through the atmosphere, certain wavelengths are more likely to hit dust particles and be bent off course (so they don't reach our eye). In particular, green and blue and violet. This means more red, orange and yellow gets through, proportionally.
When the atmosphere is particularly dusty or when the moon is just rising or setting (meaning the light has to pass through a lot more atmosphere to get to us, you get this "brown moon" effect. When this story was posted, the moon was blood red for about a week.
But that's just scientific shit. What really happened is that King Mondor of the goblin underworld put a spell on the person who wrote this story, making them see everything as brown. I believe he calls the spell "defaecation retina". ;)
WHAT THE BEEP IS WITH THE MOON?
