I was not aware of tonight’s cool moon (a super blue moon) until I stepped outside and looked up and said

Woah.

Cool moon.

Today in New Zealand is the second observance of the new public holiday for Matariki. This is cool for a number of reasons:

1) It celebrates the new year as traditionally observed by Maori, the indigenous people of New Zealand

2) The legislation introducing it was bilingual in English and Te Reo Maori. (Although Te Reo is an official language of NZ, along with English and NZ Sign Language, it's not common for legislation to be bilingual)

3) Matariki is tied to a lunar calendar, which makes it a movable feast on the solar/Gregorian calendar. Like Easter it has an astronomical definition (the first rising of Matariki [Pleiades] above the horizon in the last quarter of the moon in the first month of the lunar year) but for convenience there are published tables of dates, which recall medieval computus tables.

Ramadan starts tonight !

Ramadan begins 10 to 12 days earlier each year, because the Islamic calendar is based on the lunar calendar. The next time Ramadan will start in March will be in the year 2056.

"A primitive writing system used by ice age hunter-gatherers appears to have been uncovered by an amateur archaeologist, who concluded that the 20,000-year-old markings were a form of #LunarCalendar."

Today marks the beginning of the 23rd micro-season “Lesser Cold” 小寒 - entering the chilliest period of the year - so I started the day with a steaming bowl of broth 🍜
(the recommended goji berry lamb stew seemed a bit much for breakfast )
