There was a nice, impromptu party of about 15 neighbors to watch the lunar eclipse. The moon finally rose above the clouds and put on a good show.
We are now at Minor Lunar Standstill in the 18.6 year lunar cycle. Moonrise will now be almost exactly in the east and moonset almost exactly in the west for the next month. This was the sort of event the Anasazi and the folks at Stonehenge lived for and organized their entire civilizations around. Time for bonfires and dances!
By Late 2024/early 2025, we will be at Major Lunar Standstill, when the moon will rise and set pretty much wherever it damn pleases, and that will be another time for bonfires and dances!
