Happy Lunar New Year 2021!
https://bit.ly/2MKwyw5Over a billion people in China and millions around the world celebrate Lunar New Year, which begins today (February 12 in Asia). The start of the holiday coincides with the date of new moon, which also falls today at 19:08 UTC. Lunar New Year is considered a time to honor deities and ancestors and to be with family. Each year is associated with one of 12 animals in the Chinese zodiac. 2021 is the Year of the Ox. The event typically sparks a rush of travel that's been called "the world's largest annual human migration." However, this year, the Chinese government is calling for everyone to avoid "nonessential" trips during the holiday because of the pandemic.
