The steps of Reed Hall when the lights are out @thepaganchaplain.bsky.social ? Where would you go to see shooting stars near #Exeter @visitdevon.bsky.social @field-system.bsky.social @dj-acid-reflux.bsky.social ? 🌠
Shooting stars are somehow really magical #druidsky #pagansky ✨/I\ #sturgeonmoon #grainmoon Where is the best place to observe the sky on campus @uniofexeterhass.bsky.social @bdcmuseum.bsky.social ? #Exeter
August’s full moon rises 🌕🌠
Named the 'Sturgeon Moon’ by Native Americans for plentiful fishing, & the 'Grain Moon' in Old English to mark the harvest.
Tonight, it shares the sky with the Perseid meteor shower (peaking 12 Aug), so keep an eye out for shooting stars!
