Mystery light above California and Arizona skies

Last night, September 14th about 7:40, a strange light ripped across the skies of California and Arizona.

This bright light show was seen particularly in Orange County and in a baseball event where spectators had a better view.  One woman even caught it using her cellphone and posted it on YouTube.

Some said it was of bluish green or purple color shooting across the night sky for about 10 to 15 seconds.  Then it faded into a reddish orange hue.

The national weather service and Luke Air Force Base control tower were aware of the phenomenon and speculated it was a meteor.  However, NASA has not released an official report yet.

Madonna's remorse over hating hydrangeas fake

Madonna uploaded on her YouTube channel a vintage-style video clip  showing her remorse over hating hydrangeas.

After her I-absolutely-loathe-hydrangeas caught-on-camera incident went viral, Madonna's representative explained "she didn't want to hurt the feeling of the hydrangeas of the world" as she has her own flora preferences.

In addition, the English Roses lover has created a sepia-toned silent film cradling the poor flowers . . . as if expressing her apology.

But the video is a spoof that ends with the truth that she still loathes hydrangeas...

Madonna's love letter to hydrangeas

You have no idea how many nights

I have lost thinking how I hurt you.

Words cannot express how sorry I am.

To think I may have caused you pain.

My heart is going to burst with sadness.

I need to know in time you may forgive me.

If I could take back my words I would

but I can't, so what am I left with?

I'm left with the fact I still hate hydrangeas!

And I will always hate them!

It's a free country!
So f**k you I like roses!!

Harvest moon to peak on September 12th

The harvest moon peaks on the evening of September 12th and will be in its fullest at exactly 5:27am EDT on Monday, the 13th.

Why Harvest Moon? (via Wikipedia)

All full moons rise around the time of sunset.  In general the moon rises about 50 minutes later each day.  As it moves in orbit around Earth, the Harvest Moon and Hunter's Moon are special because, around the time of these full moons, the time difference between moonrise on successive evenings is shorter than usual.  This means that the moon rises approximately 30 minutes later from one night to the next, as seen from about 40 degrees N. or S. latitude.  Thus, there is no long period of darkness between sunset and moonrise around the time following these full moons.  In times past this feature of these autumn moons was said to help farmers working to bring in their crops (or, in the case of the Hunter's Moon, hunters tracking their prey).  They could continue being productive by moonlight even after the sun had set.  Hence, the name Harvest Moon.

Everyone is a moon and has a dark side which he never shows to anybody. 

~Mark Twain / Following The Equator, Pudd'nhead Wilson's New Calendar

Every man is a moon and has a side which he turns toward nobody.  You have to slip around behind if you want to see it
