Sure. This could be a thing for mid December. In Utah.

A two panel comic entitled How to ask geologists to identify a rock. The first panel of a comic is labeled “wrong.” A stick figure holding a rock says “can you identify this rock I found?” A stick figure with a ponytail says “not without knowing where you found it. It’s difficult to identify minerals by sight without geologic context.” In the second panel labeled “right”, the stick figure holding the rock says “can you identify this rock I found wrapped in a $5 dollar bill?” The stick figure with a ponytail says “sure! Looks like garnets in mica schist.”

I dashed outside long enough to see Mars after it emerged from the moon. Such a lovely reminder that the moon and planets are just out there moving around and we get the privilege to observe them.
A photo of the moon taken through an 8 inch Dobsonian telescope. Mars is seen below the moon as a small red dot.
