Why is it called a standstill? Can we have something about the minor ss in the lead? Rich Farmbrough. 11:40, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] I am betting this isn't currently up to date; any takers?

The next major lunar standstill occurs in 2006. - A bit of a rush if this is accurate :D -- Cimon Avaro; on a pogostick. 07:29, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

Most of the article was written in early 2006, before the standstill, and I wrote it to answer the many queries I was getting on when would it happen and what it was. We could now arguably delete the section giving all the dates, except that some folk still worry about dates. I'm amenable to argument either way. Anyway, I've modified it to make it clear this happened in the past. Maybe in a few years someone will update it for the next minor standstill in 2015. But probably not me!
