Epact(Gr. épaktai hemérai; Lat. dies adjecti).
The surplus days of the solar over the lunar year; hence, more freely, the
number of days in the age of the moon on 1 January of any given year. The whole
system of epacts is based on the Metonic Lunar Cycle (otherwise known as the
Cycle of Golden Numbers), and serves to indicate the days of the year on which
the new moons occur.

This is all about the moon... http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/05480b.htm
Astronomy in the Bible
No systematic observations of the heavenly bodies were made by the Jews. Astral
worship was rife in Palestine, and they could hardly have attended closely to
its objects without yielding to its seductions. Astronomy was, under these
circumstances, inseparable from astrolatry, and anathemas of the prophets were
not carelessly uttered. http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/02029a.htm
Astronomy
(From Gr. astron, star; nemein, to distribute).
A science of prehistoric antiquity, originating in the elementary needs of
mankind. It is divided into two main branches, distinguished as astrometry and
astrophysics; the former concerned with determining the places of the
investigation of the heavenly bodies, the latter, with the investigation of
their chemical and physical nature. http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/02025a.htm
