The Moon’s 18.6-Year ‘Pause’ You’ve Never Noticed

Discover the Moon’s 18.6-year “pause”, the Lunar Standstill, in this short science explainer. Learn how the Moon’s orbital tilt causes its rising and setting points to reach extreme northern and southern limits for about a year, why it looks like the Moon is “pausing,” and how ancient cultures like the Druids and Stonehenge builders tracked this cosmic rhythm. Featuring time-lapse rises, orbital tilt diagrams, and clear visuals for skywatching. Perfect for astronomy fans, educators, and curious stargazers.
