I made a venn diagram to help you understand Moiré patterns.
venn diagram. circles labeled "Angled lines" and "Different angled lines", they are filled with patterns of slightly different angled lines. the intersecting area is labeled Moire pattern and indeed has a moire pattern in it.

After publication, The Times learned that he also had pre-existing health problems. Read more below.” AB article by the Onion is responding saying “'New York Times' Issues Apology For Reporting Palestinian Deaths. Published October 10, 2023”

“Air pollution fell substantially as Paris restricted car traffic and made way for parks, people-streets and bike-lanes.”

Air pollution fell substantially as the city restricted car traffic and made way for parks and bike lanes.
