Yesterday I mentioned the famed Abe Lincoln story using the 1857 Farmers’ Almanac to acquit a client of murder by utilizing the Farmers’ Almanac to dispute the claim of seeing the altercation by bright moon light. My blog pointed out that the astronomic conditions that existed on August 29, 1857 were the same last night. So, as a good trooper, I made note of the Moon position, lightness and agree with Abe, that the murder could not have been seen with the little light available at 11pm last night or on that fateful evening over a century ago. . I was surprised by the light in the early evening but as the moon moved, so did the ability to see any distance at all. Chalk one up for Abe.
