Full moon is coming up this weekend, and, as you might know, superstitions about full moons abound. Many lunar effects have been debunked, but some are still being studied. A new study published in late January, 2021 at the peer-reviewed journal Science Advances now shows a correlation between the moon cycle and the amount of sleep you’re getting.
In the nights leading up to a full moon, the waxing gibbous moon is rising in the evening sky, brightening the night and providing more light for activities to extend past daylight hours. Historically, people would spend more hours outside after dark around the time of a waxing gibbous or full moon. The best-known example of a full moon that lights up human activity is probably the full Harvest Moon.

This cute little moon lamp makes a fun, celestial gift
This scaled-down sphere is designed to look just like the ol' pie in the sky. It lights up with a warm yellow or natural white glow to add some magic to any room. Plus, it can be dimmed and used as a night light while you sleep.
Totally wireless, it can be transported easily from room to room and recharged using the provided USB charging cable. And with a low heat build, you can even hold it in your hand without worry.
What makes this particular moon lamp extra special is the inscribed words across the front. It reads "Love you to the moon and back," which you'll be able to see whether it's lit up or not.
All About the February 2021 Full Moon In Virgo, aka the "Snow Moon" | Shape
With February coming to a close, spring — at least, technically — is just several weeks out of reach. Even if we're still contending with piercing cold temperatures and less than vibrantly sunny skies, there are clues that winter will be coming to a close, such as slightly longer, lighter days. And this week, you'll get a bit of extra help from la luna when it comes to turning the page to the next chapter.
On Saturday, February 27 at 3:17 a.m. ET/12:17 a.m. PT exactly, a full moon will occur in the mutable earth sign Virgo. Here's what it means and how you can make the most of this change-supporting astrological event.
Mars' 2 weird moons began as 1 large moon, study suggests
Mars may have had a single moon before something smashed into it, tearing it asunder into the two moons we see today.
In a study published Monday in Nature , scientists explained how they used the orbital patterns of Phobos and Deimos along with seismic data from NASA's InSight mission to create a simulation of where their paths began, like a digital time machine. When they looked far enough back, it indicated the orbits once intersected, giving rise to the new smashed-moon theory.

China offers 1st glimpse inside Chang'e 5 moon rock sample | Space
China has revealed the first images of lunar samples from its Chang'e 5 mission following a meeting between China's president and mission representatives.
The Chang'e 5 reentry capsule delivered to Earth 3.81 lbs (1.731 kilograms) of lunar samples collected from Oceanus Procellarum on Dec. 16. Now, China has released images of what scientists expect will be the youngest lunar samples so far. Samples from the mission will also go on display in March in a public exhibit.
Stunning Yellow Superbloom Pops Up In Half Moon Bay – ‘It’s Perfect’
HALF MOON BAY (KPIX 5) – The right weather conditions this winter is behind a massive superbloom in Half Moon Bay.
“The field is so long and so big, and it’s got the beautiful mountains also in the background, so it’s perfect,” said Rachelle Brooks.
The professional family and children’s photographer from San Jose took her three kids and husband, Ralph, to the superbloom just across the Half Moon Bay Airport for a photoshoot.
Opinion | The U.S. put a man on the moon. But it might be harder to do the same on Mars.
The thrilling success of NASA's Perseverance mission to Mars has captured well-deserved national attention. As occurs intermittently, the air is filled with bold predictions of a revived U.S. human spaceflight program, with Mars as its goal and the moon as its staging area.
I hope it happens. A national commission I co-chaired a few years ago concluded that, for reasons tangible (scientific discovery, economic spinoffs, national security) and intangible (inspiring of young talent to scientific pursuits, national morale and prestige, the elevation of human aspiration and imagination), a resumption of our attempts to reach beyond low Earth orbit was justified.
