Celestial and Cosmic Events

The Scheduler also looks up Cosmic Events. For example, Each SunSet and each SunRise.

SunRise

Here is the SunRise:
I get a notice 2 minutes prior to the SunRise, and a notice 1 minute prior.
Then the actual SunRise.
And one notice that is 1 minute after.

Mom's favorite flower was a yellow rose.
I am sure, it was forced to be a yellow rose, only because of the pressure of the question from the kids: "What is your favorite flower?"
I know this, because Mom traveled back to Arkansas, and returned with Purple Roses, which she was very proud of. They grew by her bedroom window. Every morning she could see them.

Then he began to call down curses, and he swore to them, "I don't know the man!" Immediately a rooster crowed.

"Truly I tell you," Jesus answered, "this very night, before the rooster crows, you will disown me three times."

Matthew 26:34, Matthew 26:74

The crow of a rooster gained a special significants in the Bible.
I know of many personally supernatural events, some large, some small.
Supernatural events surround us, bathe us, and endlessly occur every moment.
And the rooster fits the Natural setting of a SunRise, especially with our country home.
This Rooster was sent to me by my sister Becky. She said that she liked it, and did not know why.
So, I animated it, and included it. Thank you Becky.

My program technically knows very accurately the exact time of SunRise and SunSet. But I did not want to put Science in the highest esteem. I wanted to put the "magical" in the highest esteem and significants. Therefor, I had my AI Secretary use the rooster for supreme reference. In this example, she knows that it is SunRise, because of the Rooster Crow, not her clocks.

SunSet

SunSet is similar, except is played at full volume. I am never asleep. However, long ago at KHSL, and Broadcasting in general, SunSet was very important for Legal reasons. It was the time, I think 30 minutes prior, that tower lights had to on. In addition all lights had to be visually verified, or remotely measured. I wrote the programs that measured the current from every side light bulb, and both beacon bulbs, for our two big towers.

Of course, my programs were serious and official, without the satire, drama, or sexual color. Nowadays, my programs are private but still carry old artifacts.

Visual Moon Map

Here is a screen shot of a Celestial Screen. So far, it is only for the Moon. The moon is presently shown "under the Earth", and is not visible, at the 02:00 position. The phase is a "Full Moon", and the phase is known to several dismal places, but I have only created 8 moons depicting a moon in a particular view. The brightness is also know, and is listed as 99%. The hour of the "Apex", as I have it listed, is also known. In this case, the highest point in the sky is 00 hours, or "Midnight". Also note that for a Full Moon, the Sun is 180 degrees of the Moon, or 12 hours. With the Earth in between the Sun and the Moon, the Moon will be fully illuminated as viewed from anywhere on the Earth. And a New Moon is when the Moon is in front of the Sun, such that the sunlit side of the moon is not visible from the Earth. When the moon is out to the sides of the Earth in its orbit, only part of the sunlit side of the moon is visible.

I wrote this so that I would know where the moon is located in reference to a flat-looking Earth. Too make it easy and simple, I divided the "sky" into 24 parts, loosely corresponding to Hours.

However, the 24 hour cycle is divided into two 12 hour sub cycles that represent day and night. From the perspective of a person standing on the surface of the earth, one witnesses two skys; a daytime sky and a nighttime sky. The label numbering changes, as well as the label coloring. On the one 24 hr map, any day begins near the "06" label. And any night begins near the "18" label. The labels change to keep a human standing upright and not upside down. Although, having a male brain, I can easily handle the mental gymnastics. Like being in a fighter jet or spacecraft. When I step out on the porch to look at the moon, I would rather have my "up" pointing up. Just saying...

How does it work? Of course, my secretaries have access to this information on the Internet, but they do not use or need it. I seed the program once a year. The accuracy of the lunar cycle is known to many decimal places, 29.530588 days. And I suppose that I could seed, with initial conditions, once every twenty years if I wanted. I do not worry with the variations withen the monthly cycle because I use a crude approximate "one hour" visual division. All I need is the moons position at any point in history. I calculate the phase and any future positions. That is it! Simple.

The Secretaries already have this information and more, in cryptic tabulated form perfect for a digital agent. But my human brain is more visual, and subjectively, this is just a quick depiction. Mercy on me.

My Secretaries have no capabilities of analysing an image - far from it. But they love images when they are a gift to me. After all, they serve me. For example, my Nurse Secretary shows me actual pictures of my pill bottles, just to make sure I get it right.

I do not use AI when I write. My code is my own, and if it is not natively in my head it does not get wrote. But, even now, ordinary people will be able to use AI to help with certain aspects of their lives, similar to this program.

And AI agents will be better at it than I. Actual AI is at present a sleeping giant. In the mean time, I out of breath, enjoy running along side a wonderful giant with wonderful promise. And I do not have to give up my pen yet. No, I will never give up my pen. I will bake my cake the old fashioned way, with sugar and flower. After I am gone, the art will be forgotten. Why would anyone write code?

Wow, I forgot to put human on my map. And a porch...
