        The largest ring, the Lunar Phase, shows the wax and wane of the Moon 
        - a process that takes 29.5 calendar days. At New Moon the unlit ring 
        begins to gradually ‘wax’ on. By Full Moon, the whole ring is 
        illuminated, the circle of light complete. The ring then ‘wanes’ 
        back to its unlit state, and at the next New Moon the cycle begins again.

        The 24 hour 50 minute Lunar Day is represented by a ring half above ground 
        and half below. A band of light points directly to the Moon’s position 
        in the sky. When the Moon is below our horizon, you’ll see the ring 
        lit below your feet.</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.alunatime.org/html/time.htm"><B>Ebb & Flow</B></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.alunatime.org/html/time.htm"><div align="center"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.alunatime.org/img/22113E29-9CB3-42A3-B153-29AA080C8FE1" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.alunatime.org/html/time.htm">A smaller band of light follows the progress of the tides.
