Stoof, tongue in cheek….
December 15th 2024,4:02AM Eastern, 1:02 AM Pacific. The moon is to appear “Strangely off Kilter” as it orbits on Sunday. The Moon generally appears full for about 5 days with maximum illumination in the middle.
The weather is moderate here in Merritt.
Driving is still a serious choice.
The sun spots activity is pronounced this week. May see some good colors of light.
May persist …
A storm in the sun has taken place and if the ejection of particules comes to the earth, then by midweek, we should have enjoyed opportunities for skyscapes. You’ll have a view of some good Aurora Borealis. Depending also on the Weather in your field of view.
Four colours why?
Solar Maximum
Sources are saying that the sun is at solar maximum r. And will continue maybe even in the 2026. The 11-year cycle seems to be not to the minute. Look for more magnetic storms particles going by the Earth, producing Aurora Borealis light effects that you might enjoy.
Solar maximum continues. Many sources are predicting that there will be more opportunities for solar lights to be seen, photographed and enjoyed as magnetic storms provide

Previous full moon Merritt BC
A light show once again. Some reports say that this phenomenon should go into even 2025-2026 solar maximum that causes more magnetic activity on the sun. Therefore, sending more particles past the Earth and therefore giving better lighting shows as these particles reflect sunlight back into space for our poles.
Weather permitting
Watch for a Beaver Moon on November 15th. Also known as a frosty Moon or a dark moon. This Moon’s full face will be illuminated, it is the last of the three super moons of this year.

The wisdom of ending cycles + the soul’s personal growth 💕 under scrutiny.
November 1st
There will be A new moon on November 1st, but because it’s on the opposite side it will be dark and not visible at that time. The time between this new moon and when the full moons face will be fully illuminated is the dark Moon.
This is a good time for you to end some things and begin some other things for your personal growth. We recommend that you respect this opportunity and take full advantage of it. KDG
What to think
A dark moon, or a new moon, is a phase where the moon is positioned between the Earth and the Sun, making its illuminated side facing away from us. As a result, it appears completely dark in the night sky.
Here’s how you can view a dark moon:
* Timing is Key:
* A new moon occurs roughly every 29.5 days.
* You won’t be able to see the moon with the naked eye during this phase.
* Look for Earthshine:
* Sometimes, a faint glow can be seen on the dark side of the moon. This is called “earthshine” and is caused by sunlight reflecting off the Earth and illuminating the moon’s surface.
* To observe earthshine, you’ll need a clear, dark sky and possibly binoculars or a telescope to enhance the view.
* Stargazing Opportunities:
* A new moon offers excellent conditions for stargazing.
* With no moonlight to interfere, you can see fainter stars, constellations, and celestial objects more clearly.
Remember, a dark moon isn’t about seeing the moon itself, but rather about the celestial wonders that become visible in its absence.
Good luck
