Moon Hotspot

[skid]

I just noticed that August '11 and Nov '11 had the same coordinates, has that happened before? The Mars coordinates were the same for those two months also.

These are all rounded. I have the ones that needed offset latitudes on a piece of paper somewhere... or you can just go through 60ish pages and find them. It's not that many

The points in April/May 2010 are outliers from the usual pattern of points being near the same line crossing the globe (for Mars). By extension, they are also outliers from the pattern of Mars = Moon + (30, -109) modulus (179, 359). Both outliers are also about -40/+219 longitude modulus 359 offset from where they would have been expected.

The same points showed up for Jan/Aug/Nov 2011; April 2010, Oct 2011 (Moon only); and June/Sept 2010.

[Ironfist]

If I might ask, are moon mines, moon colonies and moon bases meant to be moved to the same point for maximum effectiveness? Or are there separate coordinates for all?

Same point.

Same point.

I figured as much. Thank you.

[jraenar]

Previous hotspot near (-6, -155) was 50%. First guess was lucky: 98% @ (54, -27).

If anyone wants to try closer, my script spit out:
[code]0.0004688309809372632 lon=-29&lat=53
0.022159589333358296 lon=-25&lat=55
0.2886405549786831 lon=-24&lat=55
0.44150875670052087 lon=-30&lat=53
0.6288854825387976 lon=-30&lat=52
0.8468259593179025 lon=-24&lat=56
1.4966256988969724 lon=-23&lat=55
1.824052860693069 lon=-31&lat=53[/code]

[Velocity111]

(60.08402, -14.99634) is 92% (I haven't moved my moon base in a long while)

[jraenar]

Extra point from Velocity111 narrows it down by half:

[code]0.0004688309809372632 lon=-29&lat=53
0.44150875670052087 lon=-30&lat=53
1.824052860693069 lon=-31&lat=53[/code]

(53.00000, -29.00000) is 100%

lon=-29&lat=53

Thanks. This thread is a life saver for those of us that are either too lazy or too... non math to figure it out.

[jraenar]

Previous hotspot at (53,-29) is now 50%. Trusty script says "try lon=109&lat=-51".

Edited May 1, 2012 by jraenar

[Mandellav]

[quote]try lon=109&lat=-51[/quote]

That gave me 51%.

[jraenar]

Hotspot is lon=-174&lat=-15

100% for me as well. Thanks!

[Ironfist]

Thanks. Works for me, too.

[Mada Vopahsolog]

The values provided work, thank you.

Question:

Are the hotspots the same for Colonies and Mines?

Yes.

[Chintan]

Wow this topic is dead silent.

Someone must at least have the effectiveness at last month's hotspot.

-15, -174 = 50%
-62.59334, -52.73438 = 66%

[jraenar]

My calc has it narrowed down to:

lon=82&lat=-64
lon=80&lat=-64
lon=81&lat=-65

with the first point being most likely. The point at lon=81&lat=-64 is 99%.

The first one has been eliminated by knowing the mars hotspot location.
