Over the next two weeks these βstarsβ moved around Jupiter. This discovery provided support for the heliocentric (Sun centered) solar system.

I was asked why we have names for the full moon. This was their calendar! Most had never seen a paper calendar with names of the months.

Maybe the parents should feed their children, but that is not reality. I wish the poor who love the GOP over who they hate, would see how much they are hurt by the actions of the GOP

Full Moon on Sunday, December 15. Native Americans called this the βCold Full Moonβ or the βLong Night Full Moon.β That second name originates from the fact that the full moon in December occurs near the winter solstice, which has the longest night of the year. Next month = the Full Wolf Moon.
