Full Sturgeon #Moon (from last night)

But the moon has its own tricks to keep the clouds at bay.

Lunar soil could support life on the Moon, say scientists
Scientists have developed a technology that may help humans survive on the moon. In a study published in the journal Joule, researchers extracted water from lunar soil and used it to convert carbon dioxide into oxygen and chemicals for fuel—potentially opening new doors for future deep space exploration by mitigating the need to transport essential resources like water and fuel all the way from Earth.

Gestern abend war der Mond schon fast voll. Habe ein Vogelpärchen mit fotografiert. #photography #fotografie #moon

The moon last night, exactly 12h ago...

The clouds want to swallow the almost full moon. 🌫️

NASA and ESA scientists are monitoring
💥asteroid 2024 YR4,
initially feared to pose a threat to Earth,
but now projected to have a small chance of impacting the #Moon by 2031
—potentially offering a rare opportunity to observe a lunar impact and test planetary defense strategies.
First detected by the
"Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System" (ATLAS) in Hawaii…

2024 YR4
When discovered, asteroid 2024 YR4 appeared to have a small chance of impacting Earth on Dec. 22, 2032. Experts now think it poses no significant risk to Earth.

One hell of a bright #moon tonight.

Oblivious to the idiocy on this planet tonight the cosmic clockwork just marches on ... here is the #Moon / #Venus #conjunction right now over Bochum, Germany; see https://www.facebook.com/dan.fischer.393/posts/pfbid0eWPo5yt1RFqzGPmYfskv6kiBGHP2A1PT8rR1rcZA14orAR6DyqZLCjorYoynJhiUl for more views.

Halogen abundance evidence for the formation and metasomatism of the primary lunar crust: #moon –> new clues about formation.

A crazy picture of the #occultation of the #Pleiades by the #Moon right now ... shot with a handheld camera through a window and a hole in the clouds from Bochum, Germany.

But hey, I kinda got it. ;-)

Next at the #SolarEclipse Conference Nick James talked about new (and finally amateur-affordable) polarization-sensitive cameras in which each pixel comes with a polarizer: since it's a while til the next solar eclipse he demonstrated it with the #Moon where the #polarization of the maria is higher than of the highlands, matching expectations. 2/n
