For me, this appears to be a #spiritual sign.

When the #moon blocks the sun, it gets dark. When man-made churches preach another gospel, they block God's truth from entering the hearts of the people. Without the light, everyone is in darkness.

Truth is light.

Many are blocking that light, obstructing the salvation of mankind.

#Jesus is the truth.

#eclipse suggestion & request: how'bout we create a stream of tagged eclipse photos (taken just when the sun is most hidden) of tomorrow's eclipse!

Post consisting of a photo (showing the eclipsed sun), time of maximum eclipse for your location* and the name of the location.

Use hashtag #EclipseStream

Please boost so more people join! Might become a nice timelapse!

*look it up @ https://www.timeanddate.com/eclipse/in/@2750432?iso=20260812

#sun #moon #space #cool

Moon gang, heads up!

New Moon tomorrow 🌚

BUT THAT'S NOT EVERYTHING!!!
You also get:

TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE: 😎
PERSEID METEOR SHOWER: 🌠

WOW! This happens once maybe every 4 billion years. Rearrange your calendars appropriately.

Please BOOST for maximum Moon power!

On a serious note:
It has been brought to my attention that lately there have been rumors circulating, claiming that the current Moon is a sexual deviant. This has not been confirmed, and as far as I know, no proof to back these rumors up exists. Either way, it doesn't matter in the end - we get a new one tomorrow. AND TWO MORE EPIC SHOWS. Enjoy.

As always, I give my public thanks to the moon gang researches, who help bring you these much needed announcements:

#moon #moongang

Hey, speaking of old sci-fi, y'all remember Robert #Heinlein? Cranky, misogynist, racist, nipple and incest fetishizer, who also radically influenced science fiction and reality?

Around 1950 he published "The Man Who Sold the Moon". In it, robber baron Delos David Harriman becomes obsessed with going to the moon, and uses his billions of dollars and a series of morally questionable actions to achieve a space program.

Anyway, I tell you that story to tell you this one: #ElonMusk has crashed a thing into the #moon, creating a new crater. So, that's fun, that we have robber barons that can alter the moon, huh?

#EatTheRich

At 2:35am EDT tonight, a Falcon 9 rocket upper stage will hit the Moon.

The impact will occur just over the lunar limb, out of sight from Earth, but there's a chance the debris plume will be visible. We should be able to image the crater later.

The impact point will be at lunar latitude 19.461 N, longitude 266.707 E = 93.293 W. The image shows how it'll look from the earth, with the impact at the blue circle-and-cross symbol. Somewhere close to that place and time, anyway; some parts of the motion of this object aren't entirely predictable. It will be close to the edge ("limb") of the moon as seen from earth, on the sunlit part. The moon will be a little more than half illuminated at the time.

Discarded trash from #SpaceX will slam into the #moon, possibly on Wednesday.

I found this story on a banned website. #Ukraine has blocked many, but it can be viewed in the USA.

A quotation from T. S. Eliot

Jellicle Cats come out tonight,
Jellicle Cats come one come all:
The Jellicle Moon is shining bright —
Jellicles come to the Jellicle Ball.

T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-British poet, critic, playwright [Thomas Stearns Eliot]
Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats, “The Song of the Jellicles” (1939)

One of the advantages of being in the week of the shortest days of the year is biking home from work after dark, in cold clear air, with the universe sparkling overhead.

Here's this evening with the Moon, Venus, Jupiter, and Mercury all lined up above the western horizon, from Lincoln, NZ.

Powerful worldly rulers have branded their people with a flag showing something similar, as in the mostly Muslim nation of Pakistan.

I managed to get this photo last night.

I had to stand on a ladder and lean out of the top Velux window as there was a tree in the way from the other windows!

The thin crescent of the Moon lit from the lower right side of the image, with Venus above it at about the one o'clock position, with a space of about 3/4 of the Moon's diameter between them. The Moon's craters can be clearly seen, with shadows, along the terminator between light and dark on the surface of the crescent. The background is the near black of the sky.

Venus is the bright dot close to the lunar crescent, which has a hint of earthshine. Jupiter is the dimmer dot near the center. A jet contrail to the top of Jupiter photobombs the framing, or makes it nicer depending on how you view it.

I took the photo with my Pixel 7 Pro phone from Milan, Italy, on June 17, 2026 at 20:08 UTC.

View of an urban area at dusk from an upper floor of an apartment building, with some treetops at left and the upper floors of apartment buildings in the distance at the horizon, near the bottom right of the frame. On the clear sky, close to the thin lunar waxing crescent, is a bright white dot. To the top of this pair is the horizontal, thin, short white line of a jet contrail. At the center of the frame is a dimmer white dot.

Title: Moon Over Lakeside (1935)

A dim evening by a country lake, somewhere in rural Japan. In the foreground, a small wooden boat is moored among reeds at the lakeshore, tied to a slender pole. On the far side of the lake, a small cluster of traditional thatched-roof buildings stands close to the water, tucked beneath tall trees; warm yellow light shines in the windows of the houses, reflecting and scattering across the calm surface of the lake. Beyond, a yellow full moon rises over low forested mountains and into a starless night sky.

The irony ...

"How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit."

Artemis (Diana) is Apollo's twin sister. Together the two are 'Lucifer'.

They are chief deities of the solar worship cult.
