Moon

Here are 10 (11 if you include mine) times people have reported strange sights in the skies of Acadiana. Have you seen anything that defies explanation?

There will be a line of 42 satellites visible to the naked eye later this week, weather permitting (and it appears that the weather will permit!).

The entire surface of the Moon is now mapped out, color-coded to reflect the type of geological substances that comprise the surface of the Moon.

Am I being petty? Probably. But there are more polite ways to ask.

This weekend marks the 50th anniversary of the moon landing. Most of us can remember where we were when it happened. People stood in front of store fronts and watched televisions through the windows, children gathered in schools across America and if you weren't near a television, you were probably listening to the radio. Recently Buzz Aldrin gave a great interview on YouTube detailing the moon landing. It's fascinating.

Really? "Blood Wolf Moon"? WTH? Who comes up with these names? Well, with a little research, it appears that some people traced it back to our Native American ancestors and their worship of all things natural. The "Wolf" part of the name came about because January was the month of the Wolf (or Cold) Moon, according to some tribes in the northern part of the country...

Tonight will be the only Total Lunar Eclipse visible in Louisiana in 2019. It'll start at approximately 8:36pm and end about 1:48am Monday morning. You'll have to look toward the East, South East. The sky over Lafayette will be crystal clear for viewing.

There will be a full moon over the weekend. The "Beaver Moon" will be brighter than most...

The "Full Snow Moon" will appear, the "Penumbral Lunar Eclipse" will occur, and Comet 45P/Honda-Mrkos-Pajdušáková will be making a fly-by!

The "supermoon" sure lived up to the hype.

Here's something you only see once in a blue moon.

Maybe not what you think. NASA explains the shift in Earth's position, the origins of the Zodiac signs, and the difference between Astronomy (science) and Astrology (not-so-much science).

In this exclusive, never-before-seen footage, it is clear to see the shocking, horrifying unidentified flying object that brazenly streaks across the sky, right within the frame of the video!

I was deleting old files from my cell phone, and I came across this aerial view of Lafayette, which included the Moon and the sunrise!

Space has always held a fascination for my generation. Fast cars, too. We had the 427 Corvette, Hemi 'Cuda, and the Mach 1 Mustang. We watched Star Trek. We watched a man walk on the moon. We listened to David Bowie...

The 1960's were an incredible period in American history. President John F. Kennedy made a speech in 1962, setting a goal of landing a man on the moon by decade's end. The astronauts onboard Apollo 8 were orbiting the moon on Christmas eve 1968, and made a historic reading from the Bible book of Genesis...

This stunning image of our home was captured by NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter.

There's something about the moon. Wolves howl at it. Some people seem to get crazy when it's full. Legends abound. It's mentioned in countless nursery rhymes.The moon is the single most searched subject on the internet.

The moon's normal orbit brings it closer this evening, making it appear 14% larger than usual, giving us the term 'Super Moon'.
