I tried to search to see if this was done before and couldn't find anything relevant. I came across information that the Black Moon MAY have been based off of.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lilith_%28hypothetical_moon%29

"Lilith is a hypothetical natural satellite of Earth whose existence is not supported by any scientific evidence. In 1918 an astrologer Sepharial named the hypothetical moon Lilith and opined that it was dark enough to have escaped detection. The name Lilith is of near-eastern mythology, and (according to post-Biblical Jewish lore) was the first wife to Adam. The moon Lilith is sometimes referred to as the "Dark Moon," "Black Moon," or "Ghost Moon". Lilith was incorporated into horoscopes and some astrologers use it in their calculations to this day."

It's also apparently treated in hypothetical astrology as representing the "unnatural" or "the intrusive", which reflects the Second Angel's nature to the planet quite well.

Relevant? Coincidence? Anno actually DOING TEH RESARCH?

You decide.

Of course there was research in the development of the series, geez. Otherwise we wouldn't have found all the connections betwixt the series and other real world religious stuff. Very relevant.

But that is very, very interesting, though.

Someone probably wasn't here for the joke...

Anyway, I'd wager relevant, and Anno spent like what, two years working on the outline of the series? He probably traveled to the dark corners of the world, seeing a lot of this stuff first-hand.

I particularly like this bit:
In 1926, the Science journal Die Sterne published the findings of an amateur German astronomer named W. Spill, who claimed to have successfully viewed a second moon orbiting the earth.

Die Sterne? Quite a coincidence, indeed! Zuggy's first post in that thread and the page linked to it contain some real heavy astrology info, so be warned.

Ah thanks! I didn't think I would've been the one to discover this, but I couldn't find it. Thanks a bunch.

Well, it was Zuggy, so I'm not surprised.
