2022 August 30
Jupiter from the Webb Space Telescope
Image Credit: NASA, ESA, CSA, Jupiter ERS Team; Processing: Ricardo Hueso (UPV/EHU) & Judy Schmidt
Explanation: This new view of Jupiter is illuminating. High-resolution infrared images of Jupiter from the new James Webb Space Telescope (Webb) reveal, for example, previously unknown differences between high-floating bright clouds — including the Great Red Spot — and low-lying dark clouds. Also clearly visible in the featured Webb image are Jupiter’s dust ring, bright auroras at the poles, and Jupiter’s moons Amalthea and Adrastea. Large volcanic moon Io‘s magnetic funneling of charged particles onto Jupiter is also visible in the southern aurora. Some objects are so bright that light noticeably diffracts around Webb’s optics creating streaks. Webb, which orbits the Sun near the Earth, has a mirror over six meters across making it the largest astronomical telescope ever launched — with over six times more light-collecting area than Hubble.

Moon Alert
There are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions today. The Moon is in Libra.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Keep your ears open because today is an excellent day to get good advice from someone who is older or more experienced. This person might be an older friend or a member of a group? Listen carefully because whatever you hear could cause you to modify your goals.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
This is a productive day at work. It will be easy to cooperate with others and collaborate on ventures and projects. Someone in a position of authority, or your boss, or someone who has more knowledge than you, might give you helpful advice. (Never hurts to listen.)
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
This is an excellent day to learn new skills, especially in the arts, the entertainment world or a personal hobby. Conversely, it’s also a good day to teach others, especially younger minds. You have lots of energy to play. You might also train someone.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Family discussions are practical today. Listen to the advice of someone who is more experienced or older because it could save you time. And money. After all, you don’t have to reinvent the wheel. Why not stand on the shoulders of those who have gone before you?
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
You can accomplish a lot today because your powers of concentration are excellent. That’s why this is a good day to study, write or learn something new. You might also teach others or make serious plans for the future. (This is another good day to buy wardrobe goodies for yourself.)
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Financial negotiations will go well today because you are focused; plus, you have excellent, moneymaking ideas. If dealing with details regarding your possessions or anything to do with your personal wealth or earnings, you won’t overlook anything because you will do everything with patience and care.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Today you feel you must deal with practical and serious concerns. You cannot put them off any longer without regret. (Fear! That final kick in the pants for procrastination.) Fortunately, because your mind is focused and able to concentrate, you will do your work clearly and thoroughly.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
This is a wonderful day to do research of any kind because you are focused, and you won’t let up until you find what you’re looking for. Oh yes, you’ll be like a dog with a bone. Not only will you be persevering — you will have an excellent eye for detail. You will miss nothing!
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
This is a good day to ask the advice of someone older or more experienced. (Although you might hesitate to ask, because you feel serious, reserved and you’re not in a talkative mood.) This is why many of you will prefer to be alone with your thoughts. It is what it is.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
You will impress bosses, VIPs, parents and authority figures today because they see you as levelheaded, responsible, conscientious and concerned with serious matters. “These are serious matters.” You won’t overlook anything in your approach to issues; and you’ll be conservative and careful.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
This is a marvellous day to study because you have the patience and perseverance to pour through pages of data and information that require concentration and attention to detail. Likewise, you can deal with legal matters as well as the demands of travel plans.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
You won’t overlook anything when dealing with financial matters related to shared property, inheritances, insurance matters and or the wealth of someone else, today. You will do your homework and you will be prepared. (I’m impressed.)
If Your Birthday Is Today
Actor Michael Chiklis (1963) shares your birthday today. You are quick thinking, honest and sincere. Because of your warm-hearted nature, people sense that they can trust you. Personally, you are focused and ready to rise to a challenge. This is a wonderful year for you because you are getting the recognition you deserve. Expect accolades, kudos, promotions or awards. You win!

If Your Birthday Is Today
Actor Elliot Gould (1938) shares your birthday today. You are charismatic, and a natural leader because you have charm, energy and an aura of success. Ever the optimist, you are frank and always tell it like it is. This year is a time of reflection, learning and inner exploration, when you will more deeply explore the meaning of life. You might also teach.

The Horsehead Nebula Region without Stars
Image Credit & Copyright: George Chatzifrantzis
Explanation: The famous Horsehead Nebula in Orion is not alone. A deep exposure shows that the dark familiar shaped indentation, visible just right of center, is part of a vast complex of absorbing dust and glowing gas. The featured spectacular picture details an intricate tapestry of gaseous wisps and dust-laden filaments that were created and sculpted over eons by stellar winds and ancient supernovas. The Flame Nebula is visible in orange just to the Horsehead’s left. To highlight the dust and gas, most of the stars have been digitally removed, although a notable exception is Alnitak, just above the Flame Nebula, which is the rightmost star in Orion’s famous belt of three aligned stars. The Horsehead Nebula lies 1,500 light years distant towards the constellation of Orion.

A Thought for Today
Well, I got most of the regular posts done for today but as I have 2 more days of posts to do for both hemispheres tomorrow, I skipped a few. I know some of you enjoy the Astronomy Picture of The Day so I will be checking up on all the missing dates one or two days this week. Today in History post will be back tomorrow. The extra posts on a variety of topics will start again this week also.
Thank you, dear Sisters, Brothers, and Honored Guests, for sticking with WOTC while I was not feeling good at all while the COVID virus wreaked havoc with my body and brain. I am still dealing with the tiredness and a bad cough causing me to get short of breath at times. Also, the super fibromyalgia flare that hit me because of the virus causing my body and mind to be in a stress filled state. Lord Beltane lost a full week of work because of the virus so we could not pay all of our bills for this month. One that we could not pay was our internet bill hopefully they will accept half a payment so I can stay online to do posts to WOTC. AN even more important bill that we could not make was our car payment. If we lose our car than Lord Beltane cannot work as he works for company delivering prescriptions to nursing homes and a local prison. If anyone would like to make a donation to help us get caught up with these it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you to those who already have made one. For any donation of $10.00 or more I will give you a 4 card Animal Spirit Guide or Helper reading. When you make the donation, please put Animal Reading in the notes so I know you want one.
Until we meet again dear sisters, brothers, and honored guests may your life be filled with all things positive!
