Tonight, the Cold Moon rises. ❄️

Known too as the Long Night Moon or The Moon Before Yule, it rises during the darkest nights of the year, heralding the onset of winter’s chill.

Its glow has guided ancient Yule traditions and marked the turning of the seasons.

Moonrise: 15:09*

I fell in love with anthropology through Thomas Hylland Eriksen's Small Places, Large Issues.
European anthropology is poorer, sadder, and lonelier without Thomas.
We shall remember him for the remarkable way he gave life - and anthropology - meaning.

The brilliant historian of astronomy Michael Korey was in Cambridge this week. He reminded me about the amazing app "Behind the Stars", which teaches how 4 beautiful astronomical instruments work. Give it a try!
