Editor’s note: Still trying to share this personal commentary about my site (which at last attempt did not get e-mailed to subscribers so linking it w/articles until it goes through.)
Some of my posts are not reaching you via e-mail. I have contacted my hosting company and they tweeked a couple of things. However, a recent post I see has not been sent to you so I will have to contact them again.
In the meantime, please know I submit pieces daily so if nothing arrives in your e-mail box and you wish to know the latest, click here (mainpage, latest posts) to stay informed.
As always, thank you for your support, and in this case, your patience. I am a one-person “show” here w/limited tech knowledge.

A super moon, like the one visible on New Year’s Day, is the term for when a full moon is closest to the Earth in its orbit, appearing bigger and brighter than normal.
On Jan. 31, the moon will be full for the second time in a month, a rare occasion—it happens once every two and a half years—known as a blue moon.

The best views of the middle-of-the-night eclipse will be in central and eastern Asia, Indonesia, New Zealand and Australia, although Alaska and Hawaii will get a glimpse, too.
