Flags

The shadow of a flag pole changes over a year due to the tilt of the Earth's axis. In the summer, the shadow is shorter at noon as the sun is higher in the sky. In the winter, the shadow is longer at noon as the sun is lower in the sky. Additionally, the length of the shadow will also vary depending on the latitude of the location.

Stars on flags often represent different meanings, depending on the country or region. They can symbolize independence, unity, or the number of states or provinces within a country. In some cases, stars are used to represent specific qualities such as freedom, hope, or faith.

There is no moon on the SC state Flag! In 1765, citizens of SC marched in protest of the Stamp Act with a flag bearing 3 crescents. Flash forward to the Revolution and you have the beginnings of what is now the SC State Flag. In June 1776, the British suffered its worst naval defeat when the British tried to attack the South in Charleston, SC. The patriot defense was a fort called Fort Sullivans which is now Fort Moultrie. The Fort was commanded by Maj. Gen William Moultrie and was unfinished when 9 British Man of War ships, including the famous Bristol, tried to attack. Moultrie's flag was an indigo blue field with a white crescent in the corner that read LIBERTY inside of it. The SC troops wore crescents on their hat with inscriptions such as 'Liberty' or 'Liberty or Death' and their uniforms were indigo blue. There are 2 theories about the crescent. First, a crescent is an old heraldic symbol meaning hope of glory, enlightenment, and also the sign of a second son an English family. Many of the troops were 2nd generation English and had hopes of a new enlightened government. Second, the crescent is argued to be a gorget. This was a piece of neck armor used by troops prior to the Revolution days to protect their neck from sword blows. By the time of the Revolution, it was mainly for officers in full dress (see pictures of George Washington). However, it still represented a symbol of military defense and prowess.

Most importantly, the crescent is a symbol of freedom. The proper position is to be turned straight up. This is how the SC State flag was originally designed before being turned in the early 1900's. Any SC Flag with an inward facing crescent means it was a secession era flag.

If a flag is to be flown at night it must be illuminated. Light that projects upward from below the flag contributes to the increasing problem of light pollution.

Downward lighting of the flag is the preferred method of flag illumination. Several companies offer down lighting for flag poles.

Some people believe dreams have meaning, others do not. Dreams are generally just the effect of your brain remaining active as you sleep. In this case, it really does not mean anything other than you were probably thinking about god at some point in the day.

There are only two flags on the moon: the United States of America and Princeton University.

You're supposed to take your American flag down at dusk and put it back up at dawn. If you are unable to take your American flag down, you need to illuminate it either with lighting on the ground shining up or you can now get solar-powered lights you can attach to a flagpole to light it when the sun goes down.

I know of one website that sells them called Flag Expressions. They have solar ones too.

No, stars are massive balls of gas and plasma that are incredibly hot and located millions of miles away in space. It is not possible to stand on a star as you would be incinerated instantly due to the extreme temperatures.

Distinct dark lines against a bright background of colors typically represent high contrast which can create a strong visual impact and draw the viewer's attention. They can also create a sense of depth and definition within the composition.

On the Moon, there is no atmosphere to create wind currents, so a flag would not wave or flutter like it does on Earth. When the Apollo missions planted flags on the Moon, they had a horizontal rod along the top to hold the flag out so it wouldn't just hang down like a curtain.

The thirteen stars denote Georgia's position as one of the thirteen original colonies.

Yes, this phenomenon, known as an afterimage, supports the opponent-process theory of color vision, which posits that color perception is based on pairs of opposites (such as red-green and blue-yellow). Staring at a green shape fatigues the green receptors in the eyes, causing a temporary overstimulation of red receptors and resulting in the perception of a red afterimage.

No, the flag on the moon did not fall when Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin took off. There is no atmosphere on the moon, so there was no wind to cause the flag to fall. However, the momentum from the astronauts handling the flag may have caused it to swing back and forth.

A country's flag is not supposed to fly after dark because it is bad luck for the country and the people representing the country! So it is considered poor flag etiquette. At any rate, you wouldn't be able to see it.
