December 1, 2022 Moon Goddess Current Phase

You can use this link to go forward or backward in time for Moon phase information. If you are curious, you can even find out what phase the Moon was in when you or anyone else was born.  

From MoonGiant.com 

The Moon’s current phase for today and tonight is a Waxing Gibbous phase. Visible through most of the night sky setting a few hours before sunrise. This phase is when the moon is more than 50% illuminated but not yet a Full Moon. The phase lasts about 7 days with the moon becoming more illuminated each day until the Full Moon. During a Waxing Gibbous the moon rises in the east in mid-afternoon and is high in the eastern sky at sunset. The word Gibbous first appeared in the 14th century and has its roots in the Latin word “gibbosus” meaning humpbacked.

Artemis 1: Flight Day 13

Image Credit: NASA, Artemis 1

Explanation: On flight day 13 (November 28) of the Artemis 1 mission the Orion spacecraft reached its maximum distance from Earth. In fact, over 430,000 kilometers from Earth its distant retrograde orbit also put Orion nearly 70,000 kilometers from the Moon. In the same field of view in this video frame from flight day 13, planet and large natural satellite even appear about the same apparent size from the uncrewed spacecraft’s perspective. Today (December 1) should see Orion depart its distant retrograde orbit. En route to planet Earth it will head toward a second powered fly by of the Moon. Splashdown on the home world is expected on December 11.

Really Need a Mental Health Day

To make a long story very short. I saw the man who i got married to in 1998 and I am trying to divorce so I can marry Big Dawg showed up in the Zoom courtroom yesterday after having no contact with him for 22 almost 23 years. The 2 years we lived together as husband and wife was 2 years of verbal, emotional, and a few times physical domestic abuse. Seeing him brought back a lot of bad memories which raised my stress level throwing back into another bad fibromyalgia flare and a migraine.

I need to not have any responsibilities today except taking care of myself and getting my emotions back under control as they have been see-sawing since 10:30 AM yesterday.
