Happening tonight: lunistice moonrise bracketed by the towering spires of Chimney Rock in Colorado. These are still frames from a joint Griffith Observatory-U.S. Forest Service webcast.
Significance of this event: the Moon rises directly between the rock towers at Chimney Rock only every 18.6 years during what’s known as a major lunar standstill. And people living near this place a thousand years ago knew about that: https://www.chimneyrockco.org/puebloan-resources/lunar-standstill/
