Oh, this is KI0 AR net control for the Colorado Astronomy Net. That little tidbit is from spaceweather.com. So you may want to check that out today, tomorrow, for updates as well. So let's see. Yeah, over the next couple of days for a rural activity. All right, I'm going to go ahead and get into the local astronomical news for today, Veterans Day. And welcome, let's see, and all those veterans out there, thanks for your service to appreciate that myself. So 10 plus years in the Navy way back in the 80s and 90s myself. So thanks for your service, those that did serve or have family members that served as well. So thanks for that. All right, starting with the moon. We had a full moon back on the 5th. That was a supermoon, actually the largest supermoon for 2025. Hopefully you guys got to go out and see that, take a look. Not too much different than a normal full moon, but definitely a rarity. Last quarter moon occurring on the 20th, and first quarter moon occurring on the 28th. the Moon was at perigee, its closest approach to the Earth this month, on the 5th. And that is what made that full Moon a super Moon. The fact that the full Moon coincided with the perigee or its closest approach.
