This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Taken from the web:

Tuesday, November 3, 1998
DB: This is Earth and Sky -- Tuesday, November 3 -- a good night to watch
the moon rise.

JB: Some calendars show the full moon as tomorrow. But the moon is full just
after midnight tonight according to clocks in the eastern U.S. -- and full
moon comes before midnight tonight for all other U.S. observers. This is the
legendary Hunter's Moon -- so called because it follows last month's full
Harvest Moon -- whose date is tied to the September equinox. Tonight's moon
really is special due to the low angle of the ecliptic -- or path of the
sun, moon and planets -- in the evening at this time of year. The moon
generally rises about 50 minutes later each night. But it'll rise only about
30 minutes later tomorrow night -- due to the angle of the ecliptic. And
from the southern hemisphere, the opposite is true. There's an especially
long time between moonrises for our listeners south of the equator --
moonrise will come about an hour later tomorrow night for you.
