I've been checking for the last 3 nights, clear and cool, and even with a brightening moon nearby there is a "star" below Mars that is reported to be Uranus. Hard to see it as a ball with just my binocs but it look less like a star and more planet like. The other, often illusive, planet is Mercury and it is an easy spot about 5:45 these days, beaming in the SW above the fading glow of sunset. The moon is finally bright enough that its shadows in the darkening woods are a little disconcerting; hey, what was that...oh, moon shadow. The seeing and walking with the moon light extends outdoor times for the next few days, get out!!
Will need to bundle a little more; today will be warmish here, 50's again but the next front will bring back some colder air for the weekend and week ahead. Looks like some rain Monday/Tuesday and perhaps a little snow storm Thursday. Still a lot of time..and nothing but change..and wishing really won't help. But, that aside, I may go out and cry Ullr into the woods, see if I can stir the Norse god of snow!!
No big quakes today; two magnitude 5.0 along northern Mid-Atlantic ridge, maybe a little magma oozing, maybe a little transform fault shifting as magma pushes up the sea floor. Puerto Rico region still with a dozen shakes; still wondering what exactly is going on there. I know it's a subduction zone, deep trench nearby..still..
Sun is not completely quiet, new cycle is coming to life with a big blast off the NE edge from Earth's view. Couple of little sunspots but nothing blasting away.
The moon waxes on, sliding on past Mars, should be near the Pleiades(aka: Subaru) tonight with Taurus's Aldebaran below. You'll never know if you don't go out and look!!
The new president discovered yesterday that the reason we have seen no plan to battle the TrumpVirus, no plan or organization to get vaccines out, anything..is there is no plan, nothing!! 408,000+ dead and no plan, zip. The only plan donny the traitor ever had was to stay in the spotlight, steal all he could and cut taxes for the richest corps and people, no plan.
The reality of no plan really bummed the qanon assbrains; seems they really thought there was a secret plan to take out the incoming administration and install donny as king. They are so disappointed, some actually admitting on social media they were duped! Lot of stupidity out there... Hopefully, gradually, more brainwashed fools will realize donny did not care about them at all, only that they praise and worship him. His only consistency in ALWAYS being a narcissist, racist, misogynist traitor. Not sure why his little bitch Mitch gets any say in when the senate trial begins, he's on the losing side now. Should be a one day, one hour senate trial and he should be convicted and jailed, awaiting execution. Literally, "donny, you're fired".
My yard birds have almost cleaned out two tube feeders this morning, standard for the little feathered pigs. My dog is still out visiting his girl. Clouds are cutting into the solar heating here at the tire house but it has made it to 51 outside. Time for a walk and Friday!!
Stay safe, be smart, mask on, stay apart, Today On Earth!!
Mercury is in the photo, about 11 o'clock to the two trees, good luck finding it:)
