Is it just the nature of the information age or did I just live a sheltered life?

When I was growing up, I never remember hearing words like Super Moon, Blood Moon, Polar Vortex or Bombogenesis. There was just weather -- and the moon was either there or it wasn't.

And here in my part of Oregon, we never see the moon. Well maybe a couple of times, during the Summer months.

Clouds here this morning. So much for that once-in-a-lifetime experience. Still got the total solar eclipse of 2024 to look forward to. :YY:

Got a chance to see the lunar eclipse this morning and it was pretty cool. Clear skies and it took approx an hour for the eclipse to start and reach total eclipse.

The term "blood moon" is a religious term used to refer to the end times.

The idea of a "blood moon" serving as an omen of the coming of the end times comes from the Book of Joel, where it is written "the sun will turn into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of the Lord comes."This phrase is again mentioned by Saint Peter during Pentecost, as recorded in Acts, although Peter says that the date of Pentecost, not some future date, was the fulfillment of Joel's prophecy. The blood moon also appears in the Book of Revelation chapter 6 verses 11 - 13, where verse 12 says " And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood".

Cool, Sidd! I'm so glad you got to see it!!! Mr. B woke me around 4:30 am but it was still a full, bright white moon here at that time. Back to sleep for me!

"Blue Moon" is a fairly common term for an extremely rare occurrence here in the American south, and I would expect in many farming areas. "Bombogenesis", very recently introduced into the lexicon, apparently has been used in the meteorological community for a perhaps the last couple of decades. I remember more simple terms like 'cold front', 'heat wave', 'high pressure area' and descriptions of cloud types from my early days. Somewhere along the line, 'jet stream' was added. One of my very earliest memories was my father pointing out a jet flying and I remember his excitement. It may have been the first non propeller plane he ever saw with his own eyes. (Mr. B's grandparents often spoke of the first time they ever saw a REAL automobile!)
