As I stepped out to dump trash and catch some fresh air, a nice cumulonimbus tower started bubbling up to my northeast. Such a treat to see! Photo taken in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

The last 24 hours have been nothing short of challenging for me. On the upside, I was able to step out and get a glimpse of my happy place before the bottom fell out🌥 It's the simple things that bring me the most joy. #LAwx #skywatching #CloudscapeClub

A 22° sun halo floats above the Pacific Ocean on a sky painted with misty clouds and somnolent blues.

Sky does quiet geometry in real time.

A mid-afternoon blue sky with wispy clouds and the silhouette of a soaring juvenile bald eagle. The edges of the outstretched wings are finger-like. It is barely close enough to identify and too far away for any clear details or colorings, other than being able to tell his head is not yet white. Photo was taken in October 2025 at Campbell’s Cove Campground in Prince Edward Island, Canada.

It is almost "pretend you're fast enough to get a photo of an eagle" season!

Le cumulus mediocris est un nuage de convection modérée, plus épais et plus développé que les cumulus humilis.

Il s’accompagne souvent d’un temps variable avec des éclaircies alternant avec des passages nuageux et peut donner de courtes averses locales.

Vernal Equinox: observe + explain it correctly

The equinox is one of the cleanest public-education moments in the sky calendar.
It marks seasonal geometry and observation context, not a sudden change in solar activity

Six‑Planet Parade (end of Feb): Observe + Interpret

A viewing-geometry event (not a causal “alignment effect”). Best ~45–60 min after sunset, low western horizon; binoculars help.

A quick guide to the total lunar eclipse — and the weather Tonight’s full moon will turn into a red moon during the last total lunar eclipse we’ll be able to see for the next two years — but whether we’ll truly be able to see it with our own eyes depends on the weather. And that’s an iffy proposition for Pacific Northwest skywatchers. The good news is that total lunar eclipses, unlike a total solar eclipse, can be seen from an entire hemisphere at a time. They occur when the orbital mechanics are just right for Earth to pass directly between the moon and the sun. For about an hour, Earth’s shadow blots out the sun’s rays, except for reddish wavelengths that are refracted by our planet’s atmosphere. That’s what lends the moon its blood-red color. Tonight’s eclipse begins with a barely discernable penumbral phase at around 1:30 a.m. PT Tuesday, gets into its partial phase at 1:50 a.m. and enters totality at 3:04 a.m. The eclipse’s total phase ends at 4:03 a.m., and the partial phase winds down over the following hour or two.

Some fine #skywatching earlier today.

A painterly twilight illustration of a solitary silhouetted figure standing on a ridge and looking up into a deep blue evening sky. The horizon glows with the last orange light of sunset. Bright planetary lights are arranged in a gentle spread across the sky rather than tightly grouped; six planets and the moon are visible, giving the feeling of a rare skywide alignment above distant darkened hills.

The sky gathers slowly.
Not in one place —
but across the whole evening,
six planets and the moon spreading wide,
as if wonder prefers breadth to certainty.
