8) Where is the most accurate moon data today?

A: At present, the data of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory under NASA is the most accurate, but the data of the Purple Mountain Observatory in China is almost the same as it (these are also necessary data for manned space flight);

9) Is it true that some people call the lunar calendar "lunar calendar"?

Answer: I don't agree to call the lunar calendar "leap lunar calendar". Personally, it is not accurate. The hijri calendar is the lunar calendar (with leap days), and the lunar calendar is the lunar calendar. The number of months required by the lunar calendar can only be 12 or 13, not other numbers, so it is also inaccurate to call the lunar calendar "leap lunar calendar". Its calendar year is only the accumulation of integer multiples of months, so there can be several leap months in a year (this happened before the Roman solar calendar was changed), and the year of the yin-yang calendar is bounded by the "year" in a clear astronomical sense, that is, the tropic year, so the number of months in its calendar year can only be 12 or 13, and cannot be other numbers;

10)

1 1) Some people call the current lunar calendar "fake lunar calendar", right?

A: Some people call the current lunar calendar a "fake lunar calendar" and say that they want to give farmers a "real lunar calendar". Personally, I can't agree with them.

Because the lunar calendar is a special combination of yin and yang (it is a collection of ordinary yin and yang calendars and special solar calendars), especially because the ordinary yin and yang calendars only have leap months and fixed leap weeks (which belong to flat weather), and our lunar calendar contains 24 solar terms of solar calendar nature, which is a special solar calendar (especially the height of the sun is directly used as the standard for calendar formulation) and 70 climaxes (climate calendars) derived from solar terms. The China lunar calendar also includes the dry calendar (solar calendar), which is what people call the true lunar calendar; One of the reasons why they call the lunar calendar a "fake lunar calendar" is that the lunar calendar contains a lunar calendar (that is, the lunar calendar is not a solar calendar). According to the traditional view, the lunar calendar has nothing to do with the climate, but modern science has found that the moon phase also affects the climate, so the moon phase must be considered when making accurate weather forecast and geological disaster forecast. At present, the research on this issue is still in the primary stage; Needless to say, all kinds of proverbs accumulated by working people in our country are based on the lunar calendar (solar terms and calendar days). In addition, the lunar month also plays an irreplaceable role in rural life; Therefore, I think that the current lunar calendar already includes solar terms and solar terms calendar, and it is not unreasonable to call it the lunar calendar.
