Fun fact: my dog is from Marshfield, Missouri, just like Edwin Hubble. We had to drive there to get her when I lived in St. Louis.
Thought about giving her a galactic name, but my then-3yo prevailed, and her name is Sunshine ☀️

Hey the Moon is at perigee today, just thought you’d like to know! And it’s the last supermoon full Moon of 2023. It looks full tonight and tomorrow, but peak fullness is early Friday, just before moonset/sunrise. Anyway I think you should go outside and look at it. Here is a terrible photo I took!
