Minimoon - New Earth Moon Spotted

By
Based at the University of Arizona, Tucson, the NASA-funded Catalina Sky Survey is part of a larger effort, called the Near Earth Object Observation Program, to scan the skies for potentially hazardous objects. The astronomical network tracks the orbital paths of objects that may zip a little too close to home for comfort. These astronomers have the seemingly impossible mandate of identifying and tracking 90 percent of all objects in our solar system that are larger than roughly 460 feet.

New Moon Musings by Holiday Mathis – Boston Herald
The Pisces new moon has insights about decision-making. Often, the biggest difference between two options is a feeling. Feelings don’t follow the rules of logic. They have to be figured out (if that’s even possible) through the subtle communicatory arts, the manual for which is intuitive.


ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’re trying to get at the truth, some kind of understanding, an insight into the motives of others. You can learn from those who argue with you. It’s much harder to learn from those who dodge your questions.

Moon of Candy Sprinkles and Cherries by Holiday Mathis – Boston Herald
ARIES (March 21-April 19). The lesson of fizzy soda, sparklers and flash pots? Excitement and brevity go together like Siamese twins. Yes, they can be separated, but usually not without great risk of terrible consequences.


GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The friendly, sweet and giving person is going to help you, and so will the curmudgeon and the negative Nellie and all the others. State what you need and help will come.


LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You would have told the other person so many different things if you weren’t in the position you’re in. But positioning is everything. You’ll hold something back out of compassion. Be proud you have it.

How to design a moon garden | Chattanooga Times Free Press
Punctuated with flowers that bloom at night, the magical glow of a moon garden is optimal for night owls or those who prefer understated elegance. The key to moon gardens lays in utilizing white- or silver-colored flowers so moonlight will bounce off the petals, which can also yield a monochromatic day look.


"In the summer, especially here in the South, you'll see the Limelight hydrangeas. Any of those big white paniculata hydrangeas make great bones in the background of a moon garden," says Donna Dent with The Barn Nursery. She has dabbled with custom design and specialized in container design for the garden center for the past 21 years.

China's Rover Finds Layers of Surprise Under Moon's Far Side - The New York Times
China's robotic Chang'e-4 spacecraft did something last year that had never been done before: It landed on the moon's far side , and Yutu-2, a small rover it was carrying, began trundling through a crater there. One of the rover's instruments, a ground-penetrating radar, is now revealing what lies beneath.


In a paper published Wednesday in the journal Science Advances , a team of Chinese and Italian researchers showed that the top layer of the lunar soil on that part of the moon is considerably thicker than some expected — about 130 feet of what scientists call regolith.

SANTA CRUZ, CALIFORNIA "Dad, did you ever imagine that your formula would become so famous?" I ask the kind-eyed, 91-year-old person next to me on the patio. My dad, Frank Drake, is quiet for a moment. Perhaps he's thinking back to the November day 60 years ago when he unceremoniously drafted a formula that went on to shape humankind's hunt for extraterrestrial civilizations.

UFO Hunting, With Harvard Data: Astrophysicist Advocates For Scientific Investigation

Avi Loeb: Two things. In 2017, there was an object — the first one that was identified from outside the solar system that arrived close to Earth — and it didn't look like anything we've seen before. It didn't look like a comet, it didn't behave like an asteroid. Loeb: Yes. And I thought maybe it's artificial in origin. And, in fact, I wrote a book about it, Extraterrestrial, that was published six months ago. And then a month ago, there was a report delivered to Congress saying: there are things in the sky above the U.S. whose nature is not identified.
