The Night Sky
Since man first looked up.
The sun is approaching solar maximum and electromagnetic activity is increasing. The activity deep within the Sun is called solar storms or magnetic storms + mass particle injections. Make for wonderful night skyscapes going over the poles and even more for us to see and enjoy.
Thank you universe for your tender care. + Continuous wonder of your being as you communicate life to us here in this privileged planet.
Visible September
Between now and the end of September 2024 there will be an outburst resulting in a supernova event from a two-star system and that will be visible at night. Looking towards Hercules. Find the instructions in the link above.
Through Tuesday night, Polar lights to be seen…
Conditions vary by location…
In 2024, there will be several celestial events to look forward to in the night sky. Some of the highlights may include:
- Solar and Lunar Eclipses: Keep an eye out for the total solar eclipse on April 8, 2024, which will be visible from North America and parts of South America.
- Meteor Showers: Look out for annual meteor showers such as the Quadrantids in January, the Perseids in August, the Orionids in October, and the Geminids in December.
- Planetary Alignments: Watch for planetary alignments and conjunctions, where planets appear close together in the sky. These events can often be observed with the naked eye.
- Visible Planets: Throughout the year, various planets such as Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn will be visible at different times. Grab a telescope for a closer look at their features.
Remember to check the specific dates and times for these events based on your location, as visibility can vary depending on your geographical position. Enjoy stargazing in 2024!

Look up at the universe,
MOONDAY
I always believed that and had a image in my mind that the day of the week called Monday came from some Neolithic people to acknowledge the moon. In that sense it would have been a reverence day not the day that the moon came as it would be most everyday like Sunday. That make any sense?
So, the moon is on a 28 day cycle and so are women. Looking to the moon is also a way to be understanding of time and it’s effect on creation.

Be kind be thoughtful.
Annual event mid August.
The annual meteorite show that happens halfway through August is on again making this weekend a good one to view weather depending.
The perseids viewing: get your vision adjusted to night and look toward the big dipper.It is about 45 degrees off quadrent and said to be good spot to look for what could be up to a dozen meteors per hour.
Early Sunday evening should be 👍 good and early AM about 1 and 1/2 hours before sunrise.
The green comet peaked on February 7th, however, After the tenth, according to sources, the Moon will not be so bright and the green comet ( chemical composition make’s green by Ultra Violet light on carbon) may be seen better as it exits for 50,000 more years.
However, if you missed it, don’t unnecessarily worry: this week might be the best time to see it after all. Around the the10th of February the Moon will be less bright and the comet might actually be clearer, as it passes Mars.
