For Your Listening and Viewing Pleasure

I am posting this live feed at 10:44 AM CDT. You can use the link later to view it if you miss saving it on youtube.com while it is live. I have been listening to it while doing today’s posts and it is a very painful fibromyalgia and spinal day for me it has allowed me to relax enough to bring you most of the regular daily posts. I hope you enjoy this.

Until tomorrow dear Sisters, Brothers and, Honored Guests blessed be

The Dark Seahorse in Cepheus

Image Credit & Copyright: Valerio Avitabile

Explanation: Light-years across, this suggestive shape known as the Seahorse Nebula appears in silhouette against a rich, luminous background of stars. Seen toward the royal northern constellation of Cepheus, the dusty, obscuring clouds are part of a Milky Way molecular cloud some 1,200 light-years distant. It is also listed as Barnard 150 (B150), one of 182 dark markings of the sky cataloged in the early 20th century by astronomer E. E. Barnard. Packs of low mass stars are forming within, but their collapsing cores are only visible at long infrared wavelengths. Still, the colorful stars of Cepheus add to this pretty, galactic skyscape.

The Moon’s current phase for today and tonight is a Waxing Crescent Phase. A Waxing Crescent is the first Phase after the New Moon and is a great time to see the features of the moon’s surface. During this phase the Moon can be seen in the wester sky after the sun dips below the horizon at sunset. The moon is close to the sun in the sky and mostly dark except for the right edge of the moon which becomes brighter as the days get closer to the next phase which is a First Quarter with a 50% illumination.

Visit the November 2021 Moon Phases Calendar to see all the daily moon phase for this month.

Today’s Waxing Crescent Phase

The Waxing Crescent on November 5 has an illumination of 1%. This is the percentage of the Moon illuminated by the Sun. The illumination is constantly changing and can vary up to 10% a day. On November 5 the Moon is 0.7 days old. This refers to how many days it has been since the last New Moon. It takes 29.53 days for the Moon to orbit the Earth and go through the lunar cycle of all 8 Moon phases.

The 8 Lunar Phases

There are 8 lunar phases the Moon goes through in its 29.53 days lunar cycle. The 4 major Moon phases are Full Moon, New Moon, First Quarter and Last Quarter. Between these major phases, there are 4 minor ones: the Waxing Crescent, Waxing Gibbous, Waning Gibbous and Waning Crescent. For more info on the Moon Cycle and on each phase check out Wikipedia Lunar Phase page.

Living Tree of Life

Trees reflected in water in Maasai Mara National Reserve, Kenya

Named for the region’s Maasai people, this wildlife refuge in southwest Kenya shares a border with the vast Serengeti National Park in neighboring Tanzania. Together, the contiguous reserves cover over 6,000 square miles of East Africa, protecting some of the continent’s most iconic, and endangered, wildlife. Much of the time, the grasslands here in Maasai Mara are dry, but during the rainy season the rivers run high, seasonal ponds attract great numbers of animals, and—as seen in our image— pools of water reflect majestic acacia trees. It’s a picture of sublime stillness, but it’s certainly not always this peaceful in the reserve: The annual great migration sees millions of animals pass through the grasslands of this protected park in search of good grazing.
