Current Moon Phase

From MoonGiant.com

The Moon’s current phase for today and tonight is a New Moon phase. During this phase the Moon is too close to the sun in the sky to be visible. The moon rises and sets with the sun and is not present in the night sky. Because of this the night sky is darker and an excellent time to view other celestial objects. Like the Full Moon, a New Moon happens at a very specific time when the sun and moon have the same ecliptic longitude and it can be measured down to the second it occurs.

Today’s New Moon Phase

The New Moon on October 14 has an illumination of 0%. 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 October 14 the Moon is 29.29 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.

Current Moon 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 Waning Crescent phase. This phase is best viewed just before the sunrise in the western sky. 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. 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.

Today’s Waning Crescent Phase

The Waning Crescent on October 13 has an illumination of 2%. 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 October 13 the Moon is 28.37 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.

Friday, October 13, 1307 CE and The Knights Templar

Yes, the Knights Templars were and are a Christian group but the fighting and good deeds they did centuries ago have always held a place in my heart. Basically, they were killed wherever they were in a small or large group or imprisoned on this date in 1307 because the Catholic Pope and King of France owed them to much money, they were consider the first bank with branches across the world at the time. The “bank” held money for those that were traveling through dangerous territory so they did not have to carry large amounts of gold or other monies and with a slip of paper from the location they deposited their gold or monies they could withdraw it or part of it at another Knights Templar’s location.

Today is Friday the 13th. Many people of the superstitious sort consider Friday the 13th to be unlucky. There are people who wear good luck charms all day and some who go so far as to refuse to leave home, lest something unlucky happen to them.

But many don’t know that one legend of the origin of Friday the 13th as unlucky comes from the persecution of the Knights Templar in the 14th Century. On Friday, October 13th, 1307, King Philip IV of France, in league with Pope Clement V ordered all Templars to be rounded up and thrown in prison. The Knights were accused of numerous crimes including heresy and treason. For two hundred years the Knights Templar had been the most dominant force in Christendom, but after their defeat at the Siege of Acre and the loss of the Holy Land, their influence began to wane.

Yet they still held enormous power and great amounts of wealth. Pope Clement sought to merge the Knights Templar with the Knights Hospitaller another powerful order at the time. Neither group found such a merger ideal. And despite the loss of the Holy Land, the Templars were still a part of of everyday life in the Middle Ages. Their houses, churches and …

Kiribati

The nation of Kiribati is the only country on earth that is situated on all four main hemispheres. The country is comprised of 32 atolls, 21 of which are inhabited. The islands are found in the South Pacific regions of Polynesia and Micronesia. The nation consists of four island groups namely Line Islands, Gilbert Islands, Banaba Island, and Phoenix Islands. The Phoenix Islands which are comprised of 8 atolls, as well as Banaba, are found to the south of the Equator which means that they are in the Southern Hemisphere. The Gilbert Islands which consists of 16 atolls are found on both the Southern and Northern hemispheres. In 1995, the International Date Line was realigned so that it does not to divide the country to accommodate all of the islands in the same working day.

Interesting Facts About Kiribati

The Republic of Kiribati is located at GMT +14 making it the furthest country from the Greenwich meantime. The nation is usually the first to welcome the New Year in the world. In 1999, 2 of its islets that were uninhabited disappeared into the sea thereby raising the possibility that the nation could potentially be submerged in case of an adverse natural event.

Lunar Eclipses and Solar Eclipses

The Short Answer:

What is an eclipse?

An eclipse happens when a planet or a moon gets in the way of the Sun’s light. Here on Earth, we can experience two kinds of eclipses: solar eclipses and lunar eclipses.

What’s the difference between a lunar eclipse and a solar eclipse?

Solar Eclipse

solar eclipse happens when the Moon gets in the way of the Sun’s light and casts its shadow on Earth. That means during the day, the Moon moves over the Sun and it gets dark. Isn’t it strange that it gets dark in the middle of the day?

This total eclipse happens about every year and a half somewhere on Earth. A partial eclipse, when the Moon doesn’t completely cover the Sun, happens at least twice a year somewhere on Earth.

But not everyone experiences every solar eclipse. Getting a chance to see a total solar eclipse is rare. The Moon’s shadow on Earth isn’t very big, so only a small portion of places on Earth will see it. You have to be on the sunny side of the planet when it happens. You also have to be in the path of the Moon’s shadow.

On average, the same spot on Earth only gets to see a solar eclipse for a few minutes about every 375 years!

Lunar Eclipse

During a lunar eclipse, Earth gets in the way of the Sun’s light hitting the Moon. That means that during the night, a full moon fades away as Earth’s shadow covers it up.

The Moon can also look reddish because Earth’s atmosphere absorbs the other colors while it bends some sunlight toward the Moon. Sunlight bending through the atmosphere and absorbing other colors is also why sunsets are orange and red.

During a total lunar eclipse, the Moon is shining from all the sunrises and sunsets occurring on Earth!

Why don’t we have a lunar eclipse every month?

You might be wondering why we don’t have a lunar eclipse every month as the Moon orbits Earth. It’s true that the Moon goes around Earth every month, but it doesn’t always get in Earth’s shadow. The Moon’s path around Earth is tilted compared to Earth’s orbit around the Sun. The Moon can be behind Earth but still get hit by light from the Sun.

Because they don’t happen every month, a lunar eclipse is a special event. Unlike solar eclipses, lots of people get to see each lunar eclipse. If you live on the nighttime half of Earth when the eclipse happens, you’ll be able to see it.

Remembering the Difference

It’s easy to get these two types of eclipses mixed up. An easy way to remember the difference is in the name. The name tells you what gets darker when the eclipse happens. In a solar eclipse, the Sun gets darker. In a lunar eclipse, the Moon gets darker.

From MoonGiant.com

The Moon’s current phase for today and tonight is a Waning Crescent phase. This phase is best viewed just before the sunrise in the western sky. 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. 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.

“Ring of Fire” Eclipse Solar Event Set to Dazzle Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin: Watch Safely

CHICAGO, IL — Residents across the contiguous 48 states are gearing up for a celestial spectacle on Saturday, October 14th, 2023: an annular solar eclipse. 

While residents of the Midwest won’t see the full “ring of fire” but can expect a notable partial eclipse, obscuring nearly 50% of the sun in areas of Illinois, Indiana, and Wisconsin.

The event kicks off at 10:33 AM, reaching its peak at 11:56 AM when 48.5% of the sun is veiled. By 1:24 PM, the display concludes.

Safety is paramount. 

Unlike total eclipses, annular events don’t entirely cloak the sun, making viewing without proper protection risky. Regular sunglasses won’t cut it. Instead, opt for solar glasses/viewers meeting the 12312-2 international standard. Alternatively, wield welding filters, but ensure they’re shade 12 or higher.

For those lacking the recommended eyewear, get crafty! Pinhole projectors or cardboard box setups can provide indirect, safe viewing methods.

For context, annular eclipses occur when the moon’s distance prevents it from fully obscuring the sun, leaving a fiery ring. Total eclipses, on the other hand, present a fully obscured sun when conditions align perfectly.

Keep those solar glasses handy! In April 2024, a total eclipse will streak across the nation. Central Illinoisans will witness over 90% coverage, reminiscent of the 2017 eclipse, while southern parts will bathe in totality.

Weekly Horoscope Sunday, October 8 to Saturday, October 14, 2023

Click here to read Georgia Nicols Daily, Weekly and Monthly Horoscopes

All Signs

This week Mars moves into Scorpio for the next six weeks, making everyone more intense and bolder. (Last time this happened was Nov./Dec. 2021.) Meanwhile, on Saturday, the Solar eclipse in Libra will be our best chance all year to make resolutions about how to improve our closest relationships. How can we get better at negotiating? How can we make peace with someone? The aim is to create more harmony in our lives. Speaking of creating more harmony in our world, Marie Kondo a Libra, says, “The trick is to choose what to keep, not what to throw out.” That’s her secret. I’ve also heard: “Clutter is nothing more than postponed decisions.” (I don’t have time to think about that. Off to do my walking lunges.)

Aries (March 21-April 19)

The trick to navigating this week is to make it to Wednesday. This is because Monday and Tuesday are downright grumpy and prone to arguments with coworkers and customers. Things might also be dicey dealing with pets or pet-related situations. Even something related to your health might provoke an argument. Perhaps someone will nag you about unhealthy habits? (Grrr.) Or perhaps you will feel frustrated with healthcare people who are trying to help you. By Wednesday, all is good. Relief! Your sex drive is strong. Relations with partners and close friends are great. It will be a particularly good time to negotiate issues about inheritances, taxes, debt and shared property – including insurance matters. You’re on it!

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

The first few days of this week are challenging, especially dealing with kids. With younger kids, be skilful at handling hissy fits and meltdowns. With older kids, be patient, tolerant and reasonable. Resist the temptation to take control and win a power struggle. “It’s my way or the highway.” If your kids are in their 20s, now is the time for them to move out while they know everything. Likewise, romance will be in the toilet for the first two days — arguments and hurt feelings. By Wednesday, the clouds blow away and everything is hunky-dory! Go figure. You will be productive at work, in fact, get ready to roll up your sleeves and be hands-on. Fun-filled invitations to sports events and social outings will delight. Recap: After Tuesday, it’s a great week!

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

The first two days of this week are downright grumpy, especially with family members, parents, bosses and authority figures. Issues will irk you. (It’s hard to keep your shirt on when you want to get something off your chest.) Be encouraged by the knowledge that when you make it to Wednesday, the rest of the week is smooth sailing. Enjoy entertaining at home this week. It’s a particularly fun-filled week with opportunities to socialize, enjoy Happy Hour, sports events and fun outings. Romance will flourish. Nevertheless, you’ll be productive and get a lot done because you have the energy and drive to work hard. Therefore, be patient on Monday and Tuesday. Hey, that’s just 48 hours.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Be careful for the first two days of this week because this is when there is a mildly accident-prone time for you. Accidents don’t have to happen during this window but you might be distracted because you’re irritated with someone; and once you’re angry or grumpy, you automatically create a bubble that is just waiting for an accident to happen. The simple solution is to keep your cool and be patient because by Wednesday, you’re laughing! Then you enter into a new realm where life will flow more easily, everything will be more easy-going and people will be happy to see your face. Home entertainment, family discussions plus home improvements will be positive choices later in the week. Competitive sports will appeal.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Tiptoe through the tulips until Wednesday this week because financial arguments or disappointments about purchases, possessions or money arrangements might be one reason why you find yourself at odds with someone else. It’s a grumpy time! But lo! What news from yonder modem breaks? Ah ha! Confirmation that from Wednesday onwards, the rest of the week is grand. Short trips, appointments, errands and discussions with others will be upbeat. You’ll put out extra energy at home to create order out of chaos. Furthermore, you will make a great impression on others because people will see you as a winner! (It’s important to look good at a distance.)

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Hold your breath for the first two days this week because this will be a challenging window of time for you to relate to others, especially those who are closest to you. (However, authority figures might be prickly, too.) The secret is to make it until Wednesday because from then on, it’s a pleasant, productive week. You’ll have excellent moneymaking ideas; and you’ll be convincing if you need others to jump on board. You will also be able to influence others. You can teach them or encourage them to be the best they can be. Continue to look for travel opportunities, as well as ways to get further education because this is a fabulous year for you to expand your world. You’re going places!

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Difficulties with work colleagues and authority figures might occur at the beginning of the week. Likewise, hidden love affairs and issues related to your health might also create some angst. But this is simply for Monday and Tuesday because by Wednesday, things improve remarkably and the rest of the week is smooth sailing. Meanwhile, you’re strong right now because both the Sun and Mercury are in your sign. Make sure you don’t throw your weight around, especially at the beginning of the week. (Not really your style.) You will be wise and careful with financial decisions this week. In fact, with everything that you do, you will be focused and cautious. You want to be prudent. You will ask yourself, “How useful is this? Or “What good is it?”

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Be patient with friends at the beginning of the week on Monday and Tuesday because this is when you will feel stressed dealing with others. They might be critical. You might feel isolated or left out. (It could be anything.) Do not take this seriously because by Wednesday, the clouds will disappear. In fact, this will be a wonderfully productive week for you because Mars is now in your sign, dancing with stern Saturn, which makes you disciplined, controlled, cautious and careful. (A bit like a Sherman tank.) Obviously, this will lead to excellent productivity and accomplishments. You’ll be like the wise carpenter: “Measure twice, cut once.”

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

On Monday and Tuesday this week, be patient when dealing with parents, bosses and the police because there will be challenges. This is a very poor time to ask for permission or approval. (“Talk to the hand!”) Ideally, give authority figures a wide berth at the beginning of the week because your interactions with them will be frustrating, and possibly, regrettable. By Wednesday, your popularity shines and time spent with younger people will be rejuvenating. Meanwhile, you might do something behind the scenes to strengthen family relationships or to work on needed repairs at home.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

The key to your survival at the beginning of this week is to avoid controversial subjects, especially religion and politics. This is because Monday and Tuesday are challenging days! You might also deal with problems related to college or universities, medicine, the law and anything to do with publishing and the media. (Whew!) However, by Wednesday, you’re back in control. People will admire you because the Sun is still at the top of your chart casting you in a flattering spotlight. You will likely take the helm or lead a group in some fashion. You will particularly be successful dealing with group or team competitions or perhaps with a friend. You will shine!

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Tread carefully at the beginning of the week when squabbles about money, shared property, debt, inheritances or the responsibilities you have for someone might create angst or challenging situations. (But this is only for Monday and Tuesday.) By Wednesday, your sense of adventure returns and you’re eager to travel and try new things! You will also enjoy study and the exploration of ideas, perhaps related to medicine, the law, publishing or the media. Your ambition is strong and very focused. You won’t waste efforts with distractions. You’re on your game because you know what you want and you’re going after it. Do take timeout to do something different, inventive and bizarre because after all, you are an Aquarian.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Be extra patient with partners and close friends at the beginning of this week (Monday and Tuesday) because this is when your closest relationships will be stressed. By Wednesday, the mood has shifted. Suddenly, your approach to fun and pleasure will be passionate and intense. You’ll be especially eager to travel and explore the world. And if you can’t jump on a plane, you can explore your neighbourhood by doing different things, meeting new people, and seeing places you’ve never visited before. It’s surprising how much our own backyard can hold secrets and stimulating discoveries. One only has to look! Your optimism is the key to your charm this week.
