moon passes near regulus
the moon is passing quite close to many objects this month as it travels thru the sky. tomorrow night (thursday dec. 27), the moon sits next to the bright star regulus and hangs above the planet saturn. saturn rises around 11 pm in the east and then moves up and across the sky throughout the night. enjoy!

the moon and mars
happy solstice everyone (a few days late!)!
did you notice the full moon tonight with the bright planet mars right next to it? for some lucky people around the world, the moon passed right in front of the orange-y planet, but not all of us could see this occult.
today's feature image comes from my very own older sister, Lara.
another nice shot from APOD today: an almost full moon as it passed near mars in our sky last month.

whole corn - cornhole
i've played this game almost exclusively in the midwest part of the US. i didnt realize how popular it has become in the cincinnati, ohio area. apparently this game is developing cultish participation levels! watching this tribute video yesterday brought tears to my sisters eyes!!
and if you thought that was funny, watch some more of the clever videos by rhett and link. i particularly like their rendition of the reading rainbow theme song and the drive-thru rap: healthy version.

welcome, mars!
tonight mars is at its closest point to us for the next 8 years.... at about 88 million km (55 million miles) away! this is pretty close, but still 32 million km (20 million miles) farther away than in august 2003 (you may recall the "mars will look as big as the moon" hoax emails that started around that time).
mars looks bright and orange as it slowly moves across the evening sky near orion.
