Happy Thoughtful Thursday, everyone!

During the summer, you may have to stay up a little bit later, but it is worth it!

Tomorrow is the New Moon!

Did you know that there were higher Tides at New Moon? The greatest difference between high and low tide is around New Moon and Full Moon. And of course, New Moon evenings are the best evenings for stargazing. So, get outside tonight, if you can!

For the next couple of mornings, before sunrise, the waning crescent moon will lie between Venus & Jupiter. The bright star Aldebaran is nearby a& adds to this intriguing celestial scene. On 7- 23, the moon will be below Venus & close to Jupiter.

Want to take a peek at Sagittarius tonight? Look towards the Moon!

The moon will rise in the east opposite the sunset & will hang near the Teapot asterism of Sagittarius. The Teapot might be difficult to spot because of the moon’s brightness.

Take a peek at the full moon tonight! In July, the Full Moon is the Buck Moon, named after the new antlers that emerge from a buck’s forehead around this time of the year. It is also called Thunder Moon, Hay Moon, and Wyrt Moon.
