31.08.23 // Blue Supermoon and Saturn

Tonight is the second Full Moon of the calendar month, which is often called the Blue Moon, although it doesn’t actually turn blue.

Tonight is also a Supermoon - Full Moon at the moment of maximum or almost maximum approach of the Moon to the Earth - making this the largest and brightest Full Moon in 2023.

In addition, Saturn is now next to the Moon.

The Prague astronomical clock is a medieval astronomical clock attached to the Old Town Hall in Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic.

The clock was first installed in 1410, making it the third-oldest astronomical clock in the world and the oldest clock still in operation.

The clock mechanism has three main components – the astronomical dial, representing the position of the Sun and Moon in the sky and displaying various astronomical details; statues of various Catholic saints stand on either side of the clock; "The Walk of the Apostles", an hourly show of moving Apostle figures and other sculptures, notably a figure of a skeleton that represents Death, striking the time; and a calendar dial with medallions representing the months. According to local legend, the city will suffer if the clock is neglected and its good operation is placed in jeopardy; a ghost, mounted on the clock, was supposed to nod its head in confirmation. According to the legend, the only hope was represented by a boy born on New Year's night.

Happy Solstice!

Today is the December solstice, marking an astronomical beginning of summer in the southern hemisphere and winter in the north. This view from Ostersund in central Sweden, features the midday Sun just above the horizon with a beautiful solar ice halo. Naturally occurring atmospheric ice crystals can produce the halos, refracting and reflecting the sunlight.

I shit you not: I was just literally thinking of Elden Ring again for the first time in over a year, started watching more lore videos, could feel the hyperfixation creeping up on me again.

And THEN. YESTERDAY. THEY DROP THE NEW DLC TRAILER????

I must have felt it in these old Tarnished bones. The Grace of Gold was calling out to me again. 📯
