Moments ago I captured the Moon.
You can too, if you act real soon.

That sickle in the sky
We call waxing crescent.

Behold evening twilight.
Our Moon — luminescent.

If you missed last week’s free screening of Shot In the Arm, now thru Dec 31, you can gift a private viewing — to yourself, or others.

The documentary, by @ScottHamiltonKennedy, looks compassionately at how anti-science thinking feeds vaccine hesitancy.

We've all heard it told: 'days get shorter in the Winter'. But since today is the December Solstice, the first day of Winter and shortest day of the year (in the North), that means the days instead get **longer** in the Winter.

Just sayin'.

It’s that time of year again - December Solstice - with the least daylight (in the N. Hemisphere) and most daylight (in the S. Hemisphere).

As you might surmise, on Earth’s equator it’s equal night & day all year round. So residents there experience none of this.

Don’t know why I should care about the science literacy of others. But I do.

Maybe it’s because the future of civilization depends on it.

Astrophysics for People in a Hurry was a best-seller, so you may already own it. The Kids version, co-written with Gregory Mone (Gregory Mone ) is conceived for 'tweens' aged 8 thru 12, capturing much of my thoughts and ambitions for science at that young age.

On this eve, both near and far
The almost-full Moon
Visits a stunning bright star.

Wait a moment — just a minute.
That’s a planet. And not a star.
Discover Jupiter, by Jove.
And a good sense of where we are.

Still thinking -- the pudgy, lovable, mildly creepy, microscopic Tardigrade 'WaterBear' would make a most excellent Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade balloon.
