A Full Strawberry Moon approaches completion during the night of the Summer Solstice of 2024. Saturn and Neptune follow in the eastern sky as the reddish planet Mars, walking behind these two gaseous planets, fades into the summer sunrise.

I experienced the Great American Eclipse under some clouds that rolled in, as is typical for astronomical events, during the moment of maximum eclipse. The birds stopped singing except for one squawking bird in a tall tree, the squirrels went home, the color of the ambient light changed from orange to blue as it would in the evening, the shadows on the ground became softer, the wind speed increased and the temperature cooled. It was eerily quiet for a few minutes before the normal activity returned with the unveiled sunlight; several sunspots were visible during this April 8th solar eclipse.
