A total solar eclipse will cross Texas on April 8 and for many Texans, the skies will go completely dark as the Moon passes between the Sun and the Earth blocking the face of the Sun.
I am pumped y'all, Artemis 1 launched last night and with it, NASA is officially on its way to the moon once again and will use that platform to eventually launch to Mars. Oh no, I think I have Sqeeed myself again.
On the first night of 2018 you might look up at the sky and say, "Wow, the moon looks huge tonight. Well the reason why is, it is the first "supermoon" of 2018. A supermoon happens when the moon becomes full on the same day it reaches the point in the moons elliptical orbit closest to the earth.
Saying something only happens “once in a blue moon” typically means it’s extremely rare. True blue moons — defined as the second full moon in a month — aren’t actually that uncommon, but if you don’t catch the one on Aug. 31, it’ll be three years before you get another chance.
