Color! Avoiding this week’s coldest weather, Charity Kheshgi and I visited Phipps Conservatory during their annual Holiday Magic flower show. This time I was captivated by summer colors. Orange! Yellow!
A Major Lunar Standstill is coming up tomorrow.
The Full Moon on December 15, 2024, will rise and set at its most extreme northerly points on the horizon—the result of a once-every-18.6 years “major lunar standstill.”
How odd that just days before the winter solstice, when the sun stands still and rises and sets at its southernmost point, the moon is standing still at its northernmost point.
Watch for it tomorrow. Here’s the moon this morning with Jupiter to its left.
