Brightest star in Scorpius, heart of the scorpion
The blue micromoon is visible this Sunday, visible as a calendar blue moon and a micromoon. It will appear about 6% smaller than an average full moon and is not blue in color. Peak fullness is around 6:45 pm local time.
AP, Independent and Ars Technica recount Apollo 11 relics tied to the 1969 lunar mission. A broken circuit-breaker switch and a felt-tip pen helped Armstrong and Aldrin escape the Moon’s surface; bidders have paid nearly $1 million for the items that helped the mission return home.
