Get ready for a full lunar eclipse - a "blood moon". Per the National Weather Service: The sky cover forecast map for Friday, March 14, 2025 @ 2:00 AM, EDT during the height of the lunar eclipse. Blue areas indicate clear skies, while gray areas mean cloudy skies. The numbers indicate the percentage of cloud cover at the 2:00 AM EDT at that location. (meaning 1:00 AM for those in CDT, Midnight in MDT, & PDT would be 11:00 PM on Thursday night) if your state or location doesn't use "daylight savings time", then Friday times are EST is 1:00 AM, CST is Midnight, then Thursday night for MST is 11:00 PM & PST is 10:00 PM.

Something to add to your calendar for April 2029 - yes, that's a bit away from now - but add it to your digital calendar now & set a reminder. Those who live in the USA 🇺🇸 will be able to see this asteroid with the naked eye 👁‍🗨, it will be closer than some of our own satellites are in space to our Earth 🌎! Meet Apophis - Egyptian god of Chaos & Darkness. Coming to a sky near you in April 2029!

When asteroid Apophis was discovered in 2004, it was identified as one of the most hazardous asteroids that could impact Earth.

For Saturday evening (Sunday wee hours) every 68 yrs this periodic comet can be seen with binoculars or a small telescope 🔭

Comet 13P/Olbers is returning to the inner solar system after 68 years. And you can currently see it in binoculars! The periodic comet made its perihelion – or closest approach to the sun – on June 30. Comet 13P/Olbers will be closest to Earth on Saturday, July 20. It’s currently in Ursa Major...

Interestingly, Martha (or her writer) is wrong about the full moon raking a couple days to reach the first waning gibbous... It actually only takes a few hours... 😉. Other than that - it does have an interesting note seeing Mercury with the naked eye 👁‍🗨

July's full Buck Moon peaks on June 21 and will share the night sky with Mercury. Here's how and when to see the phenomenon.

Pranks are fine, but violence & destruction are not
However, I remember some of these from my childhood with my great-gran before she passed - and my grandparents, before they started in their elder years (80+ yrs old). Some would be very fun at a festival or party!

Stacker put together a list of Halloween traditions that are no longer practiced, using historical documents, news sources, and academic research.

Wish the employee in charge of creating these would look at the actual picture customers see... No caramel no pecans... Only teeny tiny pieces of hard shell chocolate & very few of those

So if your ever looking for polished or unpolished stones - always try to check out your local craft store or even stores with decor for gnome & fairy gardens. This image I took at a local Michaels craft store - they range from $12.99 - $14.99 depending on if they're tumbled (polished) or not & of course their weights. This image shows that the store in my vicinity has tumbled rose quartz, sodalite & green averturine, as well as natural state (unpolished) rose quartz & crystal quartz. Both are nice specimens & they appear to be larger containers than last year at nearly half the price.
