On the Dec 21st you might get to see one.

I get quite excited about stuff like this, and being the first time in a long(lol) time I'm hoping for clear skies!

Interesting @Anonymous . Hope for clear skies then as their won't be another 'conjunction' for 20 years.

I will remember this as Dec 21st is the 'shortest day'. After that, everything should start getting lighter...thank god!`

Looking up into the sky at night 🌙 is terrifying it's organised chaos 😳 anything shifts and we're a gonna.
No different to down here I suppose 🤔
Can't wait for longer days too @Cleoriff providing it all stays in place up there.

Throughout this year I have looked at the monthly big moons..they shine full and bright , through the windows ..tried to photo them but ended up with a dot...🤤
They each have a name and December's big moon is called the "Cold" moon.
The sky is a fantasy of wonder.

Hang on.. it’s the 1st flight of the rocket and it did the 3 of the 4 things it was supposed to.
Not forgetting it took them numerous attempts to get the current boosters to land.
Despite EM being a bit of a loon, I don’t think they did too badly!
