Europa and Jupiter from Voyager 1

Explanation: What are those spots on Jupiter? Largest and furthest, just right of center, is the Great Red Spot — a huge storm system that has been raging on Jupiter possibly since Giovanni Cassini‘s likely notation of it 357 years ago. It is not yet known why this Great Spot is red. The spot toward the lower left is one of Jupiter’s largest moons: Europa. Images from Voyager in 1979 bolster the modern hypothesis that Europa has an underground ocean and is therefore a good place to look for extraterrestrial life. But what about the dark spot on the upper right? That is a shadow of another of Jupiter’s large moons: Io. Voyager 1 discovered Io to be so volcanic that no impact craters could be found. Sixteen frames from Voyager 1’s flyby of Jupiter in 1979 were recently reprocessed and merged to create the featured imageForty-five years ago this August, Voyager 1 launched from Earth and started one of the greatest explorations of the Solar System ever.

Tycho and Clavius at Dawn

Image Credit & Copyright: Eduardo Schaberger Poupeau

Explanation: South is up in this dramatic telescopic view of the lunar terminator and the Moon’s rugged southern highlands. The lunar landscape was captured on July 7 with the moon at its first quarter phase. The Sun shines at a low angle from the right as dawn comes to the region’s young and old craters Tycho and Clavius. About 100 million years young, Tycho is the sharp-walled 85 kilometer diameter crater below and left of center. Its 2 kilometer tall central peak and far crater wall reflect bright sunlight, Its smooth floor lies in dark shadow. Debris ejected during the impact that created Tycho make it the stand out lunar crater when the Moon is near full though. They produce a highly visible radiating system of light streaks or rays that extend across much of the lunar near side. In fact, some of the material collected at the Apollo 17 landing site, about 2,000 kilometers away, likely originated from the Tycho impact. One of the oldest and largest craters on the Moon’s near side, 225 kilometer diameter Clavius is due south (above) of Tycho. Clavius crater’s own ray system resulting from its original impact event would have faded long ago. The old crater’s worn walls and smooth floor are now overlayed by newer smaller craters from impacts that occurred after Clavius was formed. Reaching above the older crater, tops of the newer crater walls reflect this dawn’s early light to create narrow shining arcs within a shadowed Clavius.

May the next year of your life be better than the past year! 

Click here to read anyone’s birthday horoscope from sunsigns.org

JULY 16 birthday horoscope reports that your ability to read people lends you a fascinating quality. Generally speaking, your instincts are baffling with accuracy but remain very approachable. You believe in perfection in whatever task you undertake.

Those born on this birthday July 16 can be cheery Crabs that enjoy being in love. A fair and sometimes bashful personality, you take life as a learning experience.

You are quick, enthusiastic and insightful. A daydreamer by default, you tend to believe in the power of positive thinking.

The July 16th birthday personality characteristics say that most of the Cancer’s interest is spiritual as you are quite receptive and perhaps, prophetic.

You are sharp and could be secure in a lasting relationship. The idea of a permanent relationship only complements your goals and aspirations.

According to the July 16th horoscope, you want to be firmly planted in love before investing in the things that are marital. You will just not marry for the sake or marrying.

Your birthday meanings also suggest that you tend to love hard. The best partner for someone born on this day is a person who is easy-going, loving and confident.

In other words, someone who would mirror the Cancer’s qualities and aspirations would be an excellent partner. You also have a side that is private and a partner who would understand your need for space and time alone would be the best for you.

Otherwise, you can change like the wind. Sometimes, you are inclined to be emotional, and you put your everything into a relationship that you are serious about. Other times, you are playful and understanding. The thought of having a family is something very desirable.

The July 16 astrology analysis predicts that when it comes to money and a profession, a Cancer personality is usually very devoted to securing a stable home front. The right job can only be one that provides care for others, as you like to help people.

You naturally feel the need to help people. On the other hand, you are creative and could pursue a career that has significance to the arts. The July 16 birthday characteristics show that you can live a lavish life but prefer to live a modest and debt-free life. Money in the bank is more important to you than blowing it on frivolous things.

Professional health care advice would be to go and see one. While you do not like visiting the doctor, it can be a lifesaver. Normally, those born on July 16 are healthy individuals, but a yearly physical would be beneficial, as we do not always have symptoms of diseases that can have damaging effects.

Even the way you think can cause adverse reactions in your bodily functions. When you have time alone, Cancer should look forward and not to the past. Dwelling in troublesome and unchanging situations gets you nowhere mentally but physically; you could end up going to the doctor unwillingly.

The July 16th birthday personality traits show that you can read people. This quality suggests that you are a person that is mysterious. Those born on this day are Cancer birthday personalities you like being in love. Even in love, you still need your privacy.

Being somewhat of an introvert, you still want to help people. Perhaps, you take on too much, and in doing so, you can make yourself sick. Stress has its way of rearing its ugly head in the way of headaches and sleepless nights. Normally, the July 16 zodiac person should keep routine appointments with their physicians.

Lubovna Full Moon

Image Credit & Copyright: Petr Horalek / Institute of Physics in Opava

Explanation: On July 13 this well-planned telephoto view recorded a Full Moon rising over Lubovna Castle in eastern Slovakia. The photographer was about 3 kilometers from the castle walls and about 357,000 kilometers from this Full Moon near perigee, the closest point in its elliptical orbit. Known to some as supermoons, full moons near perigee are a little brighter and larger in planet Earth’s sky when compared to full moons that occur near the average lunar distance of around 384,000 kilometers. Of course any Full Moon near the horizon can show the effects of refraction over a long sight-line through dense clear atmosphere. In this image, atmospheric refraction creates the slight green flash framed by thin clouds near the top, with a ragged red rim along the bottom edge of July’s perigee Full Moon.

Not Feeling Good at All

I’m sorry I am not up to doing all the regular dailky and extra posts. I’m just not feeling good and have limited physical energy right now. I am going to take the rest of this week off. I will only be posting the birthday horoscopes and a spell a day until the northern hemisphere’s Monday. I will do the two posts when I feel up to doing them each day

I am hoping and wishing it is just a fibromyalgia flare again. But since Wednesday I have been bitten by two ticks. The second one feasting on my blood while I slept last night. I have been and will keep telling my body it is not allowed to get lyme disease. I ask for positive energy to be sent if you want to, to help my mantra of “I refuse to get lyme disease ” be stronger..

Thank you for your understanding and support not only when I am feeling totally yucky but every day. Much love and thanks to each of my brothers, sisters, and honored guests.

Webb’s Southern Ring Nebula

Image Credit: NASAESACSASTScINIRCam

Explanation: Cataloged as NGC 3132 the Southern Ring Nebula is a planetary nebula, the death shroud of a dying sun-like star some 2,500 light-years from Earth. Composed of gas and dust the stunning cosmic landscape is nearly half a light-year in diameter, explored in unprecedented detail by the James Webb Space Telescope. In this NIRCam image the bright star near center is a companion of the dying star. In mutual orbit, the star whose transformation has ejected the nebula’s gas and dust shells over thousands of years is the fainter stellar partner. Evolving to become a white dwarf, the faint star appears along the diffraction spike extending toward the 8 o’clock position. This stellar pair’s orbital motion has resulted the complex structures within the Southern Ring Nebula.

Webb’s First Deep Field

Image Credit: NASAESACSASTScINIRCam

Explanation: This is the deepest, sharpest infrared image of the cosmos so far. The view of the early Universe toward the southern constellation Volans was achieved in 12.5 hours of exposure with the NIRCam instrument on the James Webb Space Telescope. Of course the stars with six visible spikes are well within our own Milky Way. Their diffraction pattern is characteristic of Webb’s 18 hexagonal mirror segments operating together as a single 6.5 meter diameter primary mirror. The thousands of galaxies flooding the field of view are members of the distant galaxy cluster SMACS0723-73, some 4.6 billion light-years away. Luminous arcs that seem to infest the deep field are even more distant galaxies though. Their images are distorted and magnified by the dark matter dominated mass of the galaxy cluster, an effect known as gravitational lensing. Analyzing light from two separate arcs below the bright spiky star, Webb’s NIRISS instrument indicates the arcs are both images of the same background galaxy. And that galaxy’s light took about 9.5 billion years to reach the James Webb Space Telescope.

From MoonGiant.com

The Moon’s current phase for today and tonight is a Waning Gibbous Phase. This is the first phase after the Full Moon occurs. It lasts roughly 7 days with the Moon’s illumination growing smaller each day until the Moon becomes a Last Quarter Moon with an illumination of 50%. The average Moon rise for this phase is between 9pm and Midnight depending on the age of the phase. The moon rises later and later each night setting after sunrise in the morning. During this phase the Moon can also be seen in the early morning daylight hours on the western horizon.

Visit the July 2022 Moon Phases Calendar to see all the daily moon phase for this month.

Today’s Waning Gibbous Phase

The Waning Gibbous on July 14 has an illumination of 99%. 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 July 14 the Moon is 15.63 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.
