A Thought for Today

Dear sisters, brothers, and honored guests may your life be blessed with all things positive! 

Spanish Stonehenge’ emerges from drought-hit reservoir

A Spanish “stonehenge” has reemerged amid the country’s devastating drought, officials said.

The historic marvel, officially called the Dolmen of Guadalperal, has only been visible four times, according to officials.

Experts believe the striking circle of dozens of megalithic stones has existed since 5000 BC. However, it was first discovered by German archaeologist Hugo Obermaier in 1926 before it became flooded in 1963 due to a rural development project under Francisco Franco’s dictatorship.

Now, the structure sits in a corner of the Valdecanas reservoir located in the country’s central province of Caceres.

As Spain faces its worst drought in 60 years, officials say the water level in the reservoir has dropped to 28% capacity.

“It’s a surprise, it’s a rare opportunity to be able to access it,” archaeologist Enrique Cedillo from Madrid’s Complutense University told Reuters.

The structure itself has an unknown creator, experts say.

Dolmens are vertically arranged stones that usually support a flat boulder or capstone, according to…

Moon Alert

Avoid shopping or making important decisions after 10:30 PM PST today. The Moon is in Aquarius.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

As this week begins, you are determined to make some headway. And you will. In fact, whatever you do, you will do very carefully and you will give it much thought. If you have to convince someone to agree with you, you will do so carefully and logically.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Today you will be very careful with your money. (For the most part, you usually are because you are the financial wizard of the zodiac.) If you are pondering investments, you will be cautious and conservative. If shopping, you will likewise be thrifty. Nothing foolish.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Mars is still in your sign (as it will remain so for the rest of the year), but now it is retrograde. This means that whatever you do today, you will do with careful planning and a cautious approach. Nothing wild eyed and crazy. You want to be sure about what you’re doing, which is why you’re taking baby steps.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Today you might feel hesitant because you’re not sure of the outcome of something. However, you’re prepared to work in a very hands-on way, which is why you will roll up your sleeves and get involved. Coworkers are supportive. Nevertheless, you are cautious.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Today you might be an excellent role model to a friend or a member of a group. Someone sees that you have done your homework. You have worked carefully, perhaps even practising or honing a technique, to be as productive as you are. Excellent example!

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Although your ambitions are still aroused, with Mars retrograde at the top of your chart, you will be careful about going after what you want. You will check things out first. You will get your facts. You will make sure that you don’t overreach or stick your neck out too far.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

This is a solid day to make future travel plans. Likewise, it’s a good day to make detailed plans about further education or training. You’re in the right frame of mind to proof written material, as well as to discuss serious topics regarding politics or religion.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You will be diligent and careful dealing with financial matters, especially anything to do with shared property, taxes, debt, inheritances and insurance issues. You will leave no stone unturned because you want to get on top of things. You want to feel in control of your security.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

This is an excellent day to discuss practical matters with a friend, partner or spouse. It might concern how money is handled, or the division of labour, or future travel plans. It could be anything but whatever it is, it’s important to you.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Today you will work diligently to achieve your objectives. You will work carefully, slowly and with steady perseverance. You will be like the tortoise who won the race because you won’t stop. Actually, this is your style, which is why you earn the respect of others.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Children might be an increased responsibility for you today. Whatever the case, you will be serious in your approach. You might outline duties and responsibilities involved, especially if you share these with someone else. You might also train or teach someone younger.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

You feel a bit out of touch with things at home lately, which is why today you want to work slowly and carefully to restore some order to where you live. You know that when you feel things are “pulled together,” you have greater peace of mind.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actress Karen Gillan (1987) shares your birthday today You are friendly, confident and generous. Many of you are animal lovers and fight for animal rights. This year is the final year of a nine-year cycle for you, which means it’s time to let go of anyone or anything that is holding you back. Time to take inventory.

Leonid Meteors Through Orion

Image Credit & Copyright: Luo Hongyang

Explanation: Where will the next meteor appear? Even during a meteor shower, it is practically impossible to know. Therefore, a good way to enjoy a meteor shower is to find a place where you can sit comfortably and monitor a great expanse of dark sky. And it may be satisfying to share this experience with a friend. The meteor shower depicted was the 2022 Leonids which peaked earlier this month, and the view is from Hainan, China looking out over the South China Sea. Meteor streaks captured over a few hours were isolated and added to a foreground image recorded earlier. From this place and time, Leonid meteors that trace back to the constellation of Leo were seen streaking across other constellations including Orion. The bright red planet Mars appears near the top of the image. Bonding over their love of astronomy, the two pictured meteor enthusiasts, shown celebrating their common birthday this month, are now married.

Volcano Erupts in Mauna Loa, Hawaii

Nov. 28 (UPI) — Mauna Loa, one of the five volcanoes that form Hawaii’s Big Island, is erupting for the first time in 38 years, though no evacuations have yet been ordered.

The eruption began around 11:30 p.m. on Sunday in Mokuaweoweo, the summit caldera of the volcano, the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory said on Monday as it issued a red warning .

“The eruption is currently confined to the summit, and there is no indication that magma is moving into either rift zone,” the U.S. Geological Survey said in a statement on Twitter.

 

Webcams maintained by USGS showed lava erupting from fissures running along the floor of the caldera.

The Hawaiian Volcano Observatory said in an update around 2:43 a.m. that the vents remained constricted to the summit area but that lava flows were visible from Kona.

The National Weather Service in Honolulu issued a warning on Twitter that “winds may carry volcanic gas and possibly fine ash and Pele’s hair downwind.”

An ashfall advisory was in effect until 6 a.m., with up to a quarter of an inch of ashfall accumulation possible.

The last time that the 13,681-foot volcano erupted was in…
