Sky Observations 2025

J​anuary
The Quadrantid meteor shower peaks on Jan. 3 but is visible until around Jan. 12. At its height it can produce up to 120 meteors per hour. They’re typically easy to spot if conditions are right, but remember to bundle up for the cold.

Jan. 13 brings the year’s first full moon, dubbed the Wolf Moon. This one is special because it will pass over Mars in a phenomenon called occultation. Most people in the U.S. will have a chance to watch the red planet disappear behind the moon and then reappear.

By mid to late month, a parade of planets including Mars, Venus, Jupiter and Saturn can be spotted with the naked eye. Neptune and Uranus will be visible via telescope.

F​ebruary
The f​ull Snow Moon rises on Feb. 12.

 

M​arch
A total lunar eclipse will turn the full Worm Moon into a glowing red “blood moon” on March 14. This happens because of the lack of sunlight shining on the moon when the Earth passes between it and the sun in a lunar eclipse.

This month’s full moon name is inspired by earthworms emerging from warmer soil.

A partial solar eclipse on March 29 will block out part of the sun.  Eclipse

A​pril

The L​yrid meteor shower is visible from April 15 to April 30 but peaks right about in the middle of that window, on April 21 - 22.

The f​ull Pink Moon rises on April 23. Legend has it this moon was named after pink spring flowers.

 

M​ay

The Eta Aquarid meteor shower peaks on May 3 - 4. 

The f​ull Flower Moon on May 23 is another lunar ode to spring.

 

J​une

The name of June’s full moon is familiar to anyone who looks forward to ripe summer berries. The f​ull Strawberry Moon peaks on June 11.

 

J​uly

The full Buck Moon, whose name is said to be inspired by antlers sprouting on the heads of deer, peaks on July 10.

Then come the peak of both the Southern Delta Aquarid and Alpha Capricornid meteor showers peak on July 29-30.

 

A​ugust

The August full moon is named after North America's largest freshwater fish. The full Sturgeon Moon peaks this year on Aug. 9.

This month’s real star is the Perseid meteor shower, widely considered one of the best and most popular meteor showers of the year. The Perseids peak with up to 75 meteors per hour on Aug. 12 - 13, at the same time as some of the warmest summer nights of the year.

S​eptember

The full Harvest Moon on Sept. 17 signifies the symbolic start of what for many is their favorite season.

O​ctober

The first official full moon of the fall, the Hunter’s Moon on Oct. 6, is named for the traditional start of hunting season in some cultures.

The Orionid meteor shower is visible from Oct. 2 to Nov. 12, but peaks on Oct. 22 - 23. 

N​ovember

The f​ull Beaver Moon, also known as the Frost Moon, rises on Nov. 5

D​ecember

Winter is one of the best times for stargazing because colder weather often brings clearer skies. That can make for great viewing of the Geminid meteor shower peak on Dec. 13-14. The Geminids are famous for bright, intense colors and come at a time when the sun sets earlier, making it a family friendly event.

The appropriately named f​ull Cold Moon rises on Dec. 4.

A Man For All Seasons

A Man For All Seasons

"More is a man of an angel's wit and singular learning. I know not his fellow. For where is the man of that gentleness, lowliness and affability? And, as time requireth, a man of marvelous mirth and pastimes, and sometime of as sad gravity. A man for all seasons."

Devotion from this morning

 

September 25, 2021
My Lord and My God
“And Thomas answered and said unto Him, My Lord and my God.” (John 20:28)

Thomas has been called “doubting Thomas” because of his initial reluctance to believe in the Lord’s resurrection, but neither the Lord nor the other disciples ever viewed him in such a light. His later ministry, as the first missionary/ martyr to India, speaks clearly of his great faith.

It is only in John’s gospel that we have any specific insight into Thomas’ character. When the other disciples sought to dissuade Jesus from returning to Jerusalem, it was Thomas who urged, “Let us also go, that we may die with him” (John 11:16). Thomas understood the dangers awaiting them but was ready to go wherever Jesus desired him to go. In the upper room when Jesus spoke of going away, Thomas, still willing to go with Him anywhere, was the only one to ask, “Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?” (John 14:5). Then, just a few hours later, the Lord had been crucified, and soon “the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews” (John 20:19) as they hid themselves in the upper room.

But Thomas was not hiding! The Scriptures do not say where he was when Jesus appeared in their midst, but he was not hiding there like the others. He may well have been out working or witnessing, doing whatever he could to follow the Lord, but he (like the others) had failed to understand Jesus’ promise that He would rise again.

When the other disciples reported that they had seen the resurrected Lord, Thomas, realizing the tremendous significance of such a miracle if it were true, insisted he must see the proof firsthand. Then, when he saw the Lord, he showed a higher comprehension of what had taken place than any of the others, as he whispered in awe: “My Lord, and my God!” HMM

I received an email yesterday from our MGA, Financial Horizons, no entry unless you show your papers, doors locked , and if you visit, you can do so for up to 15 min and not be subjected to the paper policy nor testing policy. This does not effect me to much as I rarely attend their offices, but it is an interesting approach being put out there by this business who we do business through. 

"With fear and the wash of perception the talk of the day, we find that the world is upside down, laugh or cry, press on, when there is a way, you find a way." TLR
