Apollo 11 Landing Panorama

Neil Armstrong, Apollo 11, NASA

Explanation: Have you seen a panorama from another world lately? Assembled from high-resolution scans of the original film frames, this one sweeps across the magnificent desolation of the Apollo 11 landing site on the Moon’s Sea of Tranquility. The images were taken by Neil Armstrong looking out his window of the Eagle Lunar Module shortly after the July 20, 1969 landing. The frame at the far left (AS11-37-5449) is the first picture taken by a person on another world. Toward the south, thruster nozzles can be seen in the foreground on the left, while at the right, the shadow of the Eagle is visible to the west. For scale, the large, shallow crater on the right has a diameter of about 12 meters. Frames taken from the Lunar Module windows about an hour and a half after landing, before walking on the lunar surface, were intended to initially document the landing site in case an early departure was necessary.

July 23, 2022 Current Moon Phase Digest

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 Waning Crescent phase. In this phase the Moon’s illumination is growing smaller each day until the New Moon. During this part of the Moon cycle, the Moon is getting closer to the Sun as viewed from Earth and the night side of the Moon is facing the Earth with only a small edge of the Moon being illuminated. This phase is best viewed an hour or 2 before the sunrise and can be quite beautiful if you’re willing to get up early. It can also be a great time to see the features of the Moon’s surface. Along the edge where the illuminated portion meets the dark side, the craters and mountains cast long shadows making them easier to observe with a telescope or binoculars.

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

Today’s Waning Crescent Phase

The Waning Crescent on July 23 has an illumination of 23%. 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 23 the Moon is 24.83 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.

Spiral Galaxy M74: A Sharper View

Image Credit: NASA, ESA, CSA, STScI; Processing Copyright: Robert Eder

Explanation: Beautiful spiral galaxy Messier 74 (also known as NGC 628) lies some 32 million light-years away toward the constellation Pisces. An island universe of about 100 billion stars with two prominent spiral arms, M74 has long been admired by astronomers as a perfect example of a grand-design spiral galaxy. M74’s central region is brought into a stunning, sharp focus in this recently processed image using publicly available data from the James Webb Space Telescope. The colorized combination of image data sets is from two of Webb’s instruments NIRcam and MIRI, operating at near- and mid-infrared wavelengths. It reveals cooler stars and dusty structures in the grand-design spiral galaxy only hinted at in previous space-based views.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

The pace of your days will accelerate in the next four weeks because you’re busy! Short trips, errands, appointments plus increased reading, writing and studying are some reasons you’ll be jampacked and active. Expect lively conversations as well.

Once a year, the Sun is at the top of your chart for four weeks and that time has arrived. Symbolically, this means you are thrust in the limelight and this light is flattering! Authority figures will be impressed with you, even if you don’t do anything special. You can use this advantage!

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Grab every chance to travel or do something to expand your horizons in the next four weeks because you need a change of scenery! Some of you will use this same urge to study and learn more. You might also explore new avenues in publishing, the media, the law and medicine.

The next four weeks will be more intense than usual; particularly because you have a strong desire to improve yourself as a person. You want to be the best that you can be. This will be a romantically passionate time for you as well. Don’t ignore finances and shared property.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

The Sun will be sitting directly opposite your sign for the next four weeks. (Happens only once a year.) This means you will have strong focus on partners and close friends. In fact, increased objectivity will help you see how to improve these relationships.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

You will start to notice an increasing desire on your part to get better organized. This is why you will work hard in the next four weeks, and you will in particular, work at becoming more efficient and effective in everything you do. (Impressive.)

2022 July 21

Messier 10 and Comet

Image Credit & Copyright: German Penelas Perez

Explanation: Imaged on July 15 2022, comet C/2017 K2 (PanSTARRS) had a Messier moment, sharing this wide telescopic field of view with globular star cluster Messier 10. Of course M10 was cataloged by 18th century comet hunter Charles Messier as the 10th object on his list of things that were definitely not comets. While M10 is about 14 thousand light-years distant, this comet PanSTARRS was about 15 light-minutes from our fair planet following its July 14 closest approach. Its greenish coma and dust tail entertaining 21st century comet watchers, C/2017 K2 is expected to remain a fine telescopic comet in northern summer skies. On a maiden voyage from our Solar System’s remote Oort Cloud this comet PanSTARRS was discovered in May 2017 when it was beyond the orbit of Saturn. At the time that made it the most distant active inbound comet known. Its closest approach to the Sun will be within 1.8 astronomical units on December 19, beyond the orbital distance of Mars.

Thank You All

Thank you to everyone who sent me suggestions on combating my allergies and summer cold. Also, for your patients and answering when I did not feel up to posting any of the regular daily posts. I did use some of the suggestions and am feeling somewhat better today. A full night’s sleep helped too especially with my fibromyalgia flare.

All missing birth horoscopes from July 16 to July 20 are now posted on their specific date. Remember the birthday horoscopes are not just for your birth date but for the next year of your life.

I do not know right now if I will get all of the regular daily posts done for both hemispheres’ today, I will do what I can.

I posted what I think are the best posts to help with spells and rituals for both hemispheres’ today. I am hoping to get back on later to do these posts for the southern hemisphere’s tomorrow.

Moon Alert

There are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions today. The Moon is in Taurus.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Guard against rash decisions that affect your wealth or something that you own. You might buy something impulsively. “I have to have it!” Or you might make an impulsive financial decision. Don’t do anything that you might regret later. Count to three before you decide.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Today the Moon is lined up with fiery Mars in your sign, which can make you highly emotional! You will be quick to react to others if you think they are slighting you or being critical. On the upside, you will be ready to act and go after whatever interests you.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

You might feel a bit confused today because strong feelings are building up within you, but they are at a subconscious level. For example, you may feel impulsive and not know why. You might overreact to something that someone says. (Your response might be viewed as inappropriate.) This influence is gone by tomorrow.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Be patient dealing with friends and members of groups because you might fly off handle before you know what happens. You will especially be sensitive if anyone is critical of you. You might also feel competitive with someone even if there’s no reason to feel this. Relax.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

This is a tricky day if you’re dealing with bosses, parents, teachers and the police because you might lose it. For starters, you feel sensitive and a bit irritable. (You’re like a tiny, ticking time bomb.) Knowing this, you can make an effort not to react. You’re a natural actor – you can do this.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You have strong opinions today about controversial matters like politics, race and religion. Likewise, you also have strong feelings about travel or dealing with other countries. Be aware that you have a short fuse, which means you might say something you later regret.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You have strong feelings when it comes to shared property, inheritances, taxes and debt or anything that you share with someone else. In fact, you won’t hesitate to defend your best interests. The trick is to stand up for yourself but at the same time, not alienate someone else.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Today the Moon is in a sign that is opposite from your sign, and at the same time, the Moon is also lined up with fiery Mars. (This is the classic combo for testy relations with partners and close friends.) Avoid aggressive people today. Nevertheless, defend yourself.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Be patient with work colleagues today. You might be pushy about what you want because you want things to go your way. On the upside, you will take the initiative if necessary. Is it time to turn over a new leaf regarding your health?

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You will be courageous if you’re involved in sports or some kind of physical competition today because you feel feisty and energetic! However, when dealing with kids, pull in your reins a bit and be gentle. Don’t come on too strong. Romantic relationships might be sticky.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Do what you can to keep the peace at home because it’s very easy for you to overreact when dealing with family members today. This is because you are sensitive, especially to criticism. Or you might feel competitive with a family member. Stay chill.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Be careful because today you can be hasty and impulsive. It’s all too easy for you to say or do something without even thinking first. It will just happen! Knowing this ahead of time, be smart and think before you act or speak.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actor Edward Herrmann (1943-2014) shares your birthday today. You are perceptive, eloquent and charming. You also have excellent comedic timing. You are innovative, optimistic and determined. Welcome opportunities for solitude this year because it’s a time of learning as well as teaching for you. Study will lead to deeper revelations about the meaning of life for you.

July 21, 2022 Current Moon Phase Digest

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 Waning Crescent phase. In this phase the Moon’s illumination is growing smaller each day until the New Moon. During this part of the Moon cycle, the Moon is getting closer to the Sun as viewed from Earth and the night side of the Moon is facing the Earth with only a small edge of the Moon being illuminated. This phase is best viewed an hour or 2 before the sunrise and can be quite beautiful if you’re willing to get up early. It can also be a great time to see the features of the Moon’s surface. Along the edge where the illuminated portion meets the dark side, the craters and mountains cast long shadows making them easier to observe with a telescope or binoculars.

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

Today’s Waning Crescent Phase

The Waning Crescent on July 21 has an illumination of 41%. 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 21 the Moon is 22.99 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.
