[Space] Triple Full Moons
Hey All,
I'm (finally) about to get my Fantasy game off the ground and one of my players is playing a werewolf. Trouble is, my Fantasy world has 3 moons (technically moonlets), and I've decided (as to not make the game too disruptive) to only force a transformation on a simultaneous triple full moon. This shouldn't happen too infrequently as each moon goes through a full cycle every 2 - 6 hours (depending on the moon), but every calculation I come up with seems way to frequent to be right. I've found online calculations for planets with 2 moons, but none with 3, and I don't know how it's further complicating things. Any and all Mathematics (Applied) (IQ/H) or Astronomy (IQ/H) assistance would be greatly appreciated. Here are the figures I'm currently working with:
I understand that the Suns (or their combined center of mass) and all three moons must be approximately aligned to all show full, but for the life of me can't figure out how to calculate it. Ya'll are awesome. 'Preciate ya! Jinumon |
