Moon:0.0011111Hz

ESA Science & Technology: Gaia's second anniversary marked by successes and challenges
So many stars they are crowsourcing the analysis. Some really neat stuff in there. Good to remember what real engineering is about rather than DC gain blocks!

Daryl Groom, who was the winemaker at Penfolds and later moved to California, introduced me to the sparkling Shiraz genre, which was as deplorable as I had expected. 
While I was tasting my first one, he was grinning and cackling, "Thet one's eh real leg spreduh!" This must have been 1998 or so, so I'm guessing that's a common phrase in the wine industry there.

Resonance has nothing to do with the stimulus. Some of Weber's stuff went off into a personal issue. As far as I can tell he never fully disclosed the details of his mechanisms which is a red flag to me.
Wow such professionalism, I don't think I ever found a late harvest CA wine that had any merit beyond immediate gratification.
They say a good wine is like sex . . .
Ok, I admit it, another analogy that probably wont work
I've seen ones in which wine tasters couldn't tell red from white ie a white wine was dyed red and the trainee tasters (shortly before qualifying) harped on about non-existing tannins.
In another demonstration a group of people tastes some red wines.
All agreed in their individual descriptions of the wines, one was 'fruity', 'light' and 'ideal for summer' and another 'heavy', with 'hints of cinnamon', 'ideal for christmas'. That kind of thing.
Turns out it was all the same wine and they merely changed the conditions under which the test was taken. Most of it was just simply changing the colour and intensity of the light in the room but to change from fruity and light to heavy and cinnamon they wrapped the tasters in a blanket and lit a candle.
But in the end sighted wine tasting is just about as valuable as sighted HiFi evaluation.
Yet if you can't do that properly under blind conditions, you can't achieve any of the certifications, nor can you qualify as a wine competition judge.
There seems to be no equivalent for audio reviewers, and of course absolutely zero controls, which is why those chimps keep cranking out the fulsome nonsense that they do.

Scott as I understand it:
The degree of coupling between body mass and gravitational waves as well as the direction of induced stresses is affected by field properties, the body’s geometry and it’s orientation in the field
As for the word ‘resonance’ I used, my apologies.
I should better have written ‘ strain frequency’ instead of ‘resonance frequency’ for the case of Earth and Moon. ‘resonance frequency’ is applicable to be used for the artificial resonant-mass detectors (bars or spheres) only.
In any case, ‘frequency’ of the excited body is dictated mainly by body mass.
That’s why I find the frequencies you posted questionable not only as both being too high but also because earth’s frequency is shown higher than moon’s (while earth is of a larger mass than moon)
(See attachment for Weber’s words)
Reading his biography, I can’t blame him at all. Considering what he dealt with, he behaved OK .
Now, after all that has been done, it is feasible to redraw the scene.
Please read sections 5.3 & 5.4 of this very good review paper

The fact that many institutions went to replicate those costly experiments tells me otherwise.
Then it is his sited publications.

Scott you had mentioned in the past something about conformance to dress protocol while you were invited at LIGO site. Read this and enjoy

(some astronomically high mechanical Q figures and some abysmally low thermal noise figures reported as achieved in this paper that I have linked to again)
