Be sure to check out the Moon this week, it's waxing (becoming more full) and when it is full it's going to be beautiful.

If you have enough curiosity try to see the Moon as it's rising and observe the Moon Illusion (the way the Moon looks very large near the horizon and then smaller when it's up high) and prove to yourself that it really is an illusion by trying to cover up the Moon with your finger while it's low and looking huge and when it's high and looking smaller.

Try it out. Just do it from now on when you see a full Moon. Reach your arm out and cover the Moon with your finger. ☝️

I forgot to tell you, I'll be at the library in Bethany, Oklahoma tonight from 4pm to 7pm helping people get ready for International Observe the Moon Night 2025.

You can come see me to get Moon maps, NASA stickers, and help adding your name to a trip around the Moon on Artemis 2.

If you can't make it, just let me know in the comments, I'll make sure you get a printable Moon map before Saturday.
