Yay!!  Another fic writer!  You go gal!

Unfortunately <grin> you also wrote yourself as: "Vaquera with cousinly
tendencies."

Hmmm.   So you're a slacker with 'control freak' tendencies?  Have a wayward
son who's too wayward for even a Vaquera's sensibilities?

Welcome to the looney hatch, Sheri!

Subject: Another thought/question

There is supposed to be a lunar eclipse tonight, and while looking at the
moon before it started, I wondered:

If moonlight is actually the light from the sun reflected off the moon, how
can vampires walk in moonlight and not in sunlight? Isn't it all the same
light?

Now I shall return to lurking, and go find a physicist to explain the
difference between sunlight and moonlight...

Hey everyone, I found this site while searching for FK song midis (of which
I still haven't found what I want, but...).
It has the Forever Knight theme as well as those for a few other shows such
as <nostalgic sigh> Dr. Who and Thunderbirds Are Go!  Having great fun
listening to the theme songs while imagining what parts the FK vamps are
playing. <eg>  "Thunderbird 4?!  Come in, Thunderbird 4!  Are you all right,
Nick?!"

Because the moon is made of cheese.

And us Forever Knight fans are great at cheesey rationalization.

So if the moon is reflecting sunlight and the vampires are not turning into
puffs of flaming, smoking dust at the touch of moonlight, then the moon must
be made of cheese.

Cheese attracts rodents, including rats. Rats attract carouches. Screed is a
carouche.  Carouches are vampires found on Forever Knight. Both Screed and
rats can be found in the moonlight on Forever Knight.  Although Screed does
go "slurp" when feeding on a rat on Forever Knight, he does not go "poof" in
the moonlight while slurping rats on Forever Knight.

Therefore the moon on Forever Knight is made of cheese.

See, it all makes perfect sense!

If you are a Ratpacker who watches Screed slurp on rats in the moonlight on
Forever Knight without going "poof."

("Not Going Poof" refers to both Screed in the moonlight slurping on rats and
Ratpackers watching Forever Knight in the moonlight.)

>If moonlight is actually the light from the sun reflected off the moon, how
>can vampires walk in moonlight and not in sunlight? Isn't it all the same

The biggest difference is in the amount of light the earth receives from
each. The moon is smaller than the sun and only receives a portion of the
sun's light. Of that portion it receives, a certain amount is absorbed into
the moon (which is why the lunar dayside is so incredibly hot), a certain
amount is reflected (a portion of which is visible from the earth), and a
(probably very small) amount is refracted, or shifted slightly in color. So
the earth receives a lot less "sunlight" from the "moon", and some of it is
in a different color range. This makes it a lot less powerful (both
physically and metaphysically).

The other major difference is that the light from the sun reaches the earth
"straight on"; when we see the sun "at an angle" it is because of the
curvature of the earth, not because the sun's light has been reflected off
anything (exceptions: predawn and twilight, when we see light even though
the sun has not yet risen or has already set). When light is reflected, it
bounces off at an angle equal to the angle at which it arrived. When
sunlight bounces off the moon, it bounces off at odd angles based on the
moon's topography; not all of these angles are on a path to be viewable on
earth. Therefore, the "harming power" of moonlight is even further reduced.

When sunlight is reflected off of something solid, like the moon, most of
it is absorbed into the moon's surface.  What we see has the same source,
but is far less intense.  For instance, Nick couldn't stand the light from
the mirror (in Father Figure) because light off a mirror is almost entirely
reflected and stays as a single beam, so it is nearly direct sunlight.  Yet
everytime Nick looked at a person or object in sunlight, what he was
actually seeing *was* the sunlight reflected off of them, just not
intensely or directly enough to cause problems.

I should, of course, point out that this was made up off the top of my head
based on the current Optics unit in my physics class.  That and all the
English classes which taught me how to sound authoratative on absolutely
anything.  ;-)
