(291,776 posts)The first supermoon of 2025 is rising. Here's when you should look up.
Last evening I saw the moon was so beautiful and bright.
So I took a walk to a near by pond and the moon was shining on the pond as I was facing east.
Then I turned and walked around the other side of the pond. The sun was setting
and the sun was shining on the pond that way.
First time in my life I saw such an event.
Facing east it was night with a dark sky and shining moon on the water.
Facing west it was lighter with the setting sun shining on the pond.
Ohio State was just getting ready to play.
Life is good.

(30,928 posts)No, not the part about the pond and moon, the part about tO$U. My Penn State is going to get drubbed at The Shoe pretty soon, Boo Hoo.
Just remember though, wrestling practice starts this week and I have tickets for nationals in Cleveland in March.

Ok I admit the part about Ohio State is the best part.
Well I am not going to jinx it, but we would love to beat Penn State.
For various reasons. But OSU has lost games it should have won.

Got my binoculars out last night. This is really something to be amazed about IMO.

Thanks

Well, something like that! 😄
Anyway... I was able to even w the 12X optical; able to see the craters, and their shadows clearly enough. So exciting!
