A Christmas Star

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!

Wonderful, @Cleoriff 

Beautiful day and glorious moon Wednesday.

Thank you for the lovely photo.

@TallTrees 

Thanks. 

I was waiting for you to post.....then I thought I would as you must have been busy. 😂

It was lovely to see it.

I am sure it was stunning - alas, skies here have been shrouded in cloud, all the way down to the ground some days, so saw none of it. Hopefully better weather in 2043 😂

I was lucky to see this one. Normally the sky is too cloudy. However, we'd had a hot day and clear sky at night. 

It was lovely to see it. 😍

I missed it unfortunately

It was a nice sunny day here but I simply forgot!

I remember the last one, watched it with my wife sat outside the pub.

I'm guessing around 20 years ago....happy days!

HELLO STURGEON MOON

staying with the 🐟 fishy theme @Mi-Amigo !

Sturgeon Moon rises the same time on Saturday and Sunday

The Sturgeon Moon is the name given to the August full Moon, the final full Moon of summer 2025.

It takes its name from the fact that late summer is the time when sturgeon fish were most plentiful in the Great Lakes of North America.

 Hope you like the photo @Cleoriff and get a view of this Moon.

Maybe the weather will be just right for you to view this too @jonsie 

This time @pgn hope you get a view in N.I.

🤔

A large orange orb visible in the sky at 10pm or so last night here, will keep a watch on the sky this evening, see if the Sturgeon Moon is visible at its fullest. Thanks @TallTrees 🌕

@TallTrees 

Thanks for the reminder to catch sight of this beautiful moon tonight. 

I see it's closely followed by the Perseids Meteor shower on the12th-13th. 

The Perseids is classed as one of the best meteor showers to be seen, Often showing 50-100 meteors an hour.

I will look out, if possible,  try to see the meteor shower. Thanks for the information @Cleoriff it is amazing.

I will be keeping an eye on the sky tonight

Hoping it's as clear as it was last night
