Dear Humans,

Tonight is a full moon. But not just a full moon, a supermoon. And a super harvest moon. And a super harvest moon in a partial lunar eclipse. So look up from your screen around 8:40. You’ll see something that you won’t see again for a while.

Which is the great thing about astronomical events–they show us something rare. And yet, a new, rare astronomical event seems to happen all the time. The next two full moons are also supermoons. And a full lunar eclipse will come in March.

That’s because we live in a complex solar system with different sized bodies dancing with one another at different speeds and distances. And it’s our sacred duty to look up.

Sincerely,

Mr. Curt
