Today is Friday the 13th!
The weekend is here, but before the weekend, today is 'Friday the 13th'.
There is a popular superstition associated with this day, as it is
considered unlucky. Friggatriskaidekaphobia is a common superstition and refers to the fear of Friday the 13th; it brings a mix of
anxiety and intrigue.
There are no strict, definitive reasons why Friday the 13th is considered unlucky.
But this Friday the 13th might bring a little extra magic.
Tonight, not only is there a Cold Full Moon but the Geminids meteor shower will illuminate the night sky, it’s a great opportunity to leave superstition behind and make a wish on a shooting star.

Space.com has information about how you can watch the shower AND they are also offering a live stream!
Am attending a Geminids Meteor Shower event at the local park this evening; it's gonna be cold, but the sky should be crystal clear!

ReplyDeleteI will have to get up very early (or go to bed very late) if I want a chance of veiwing the meteors - we do have a clear sky tonight, but golly, that moon is darned bright... I'd entirely forgotten it was the 13th; might explain some of the negative stuff that happened as I was driving today. Deep breaths, tomorrow's another day! Hugs and whiskeries, YAM-aunty xxx
What a festive Christmas banner you fur babies have today. Lynn will not git up in the middle of the night (cept fur the potty, mol) so she'll not see the shootin' stars. We hope fur a clear sky tonight fur the moon rise, but we expect rain tomorrow on top of our light snow, so who knows what'll come next. Hope you have a tree up even if the mom can not climb the stairs. Hope Nutmeg does not knock it over. Precious

ReplyDeleteHey gang! We always seem to have lots of clouds whenever the cool star showers start!
ReplyDeleteWe're not afraid of any silly date on the calendar. Too bad we will have clouds tonight so we can't see the meteors.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the reminder of the Geminids. XO
ReplyDeleteKeep an eye out for drones too!
