Wrestle with eternity
And beg the god of stolen moments
To stay.
Take your understanding
Of the rolling of dice
In their complex game
That doesn’t resemble poker
As much as you’d think
And try to believe
In optimism if nothing else
A bulwark against the dark
Imagining some meaning more
than we are given.

Meteor Shower over the Grampians, Victoria, Australia

More about me & prints:

Aperture: f/2.8 (for maximum light intake in low-light conditions)
Shutter Speed: 30s (to capture multiple meteors without star trails)
ISO: 1600 (to enhance sensitivity to faint celestial light while managing noise)

Multiple images were required to capture this number of meteors - the resulting image is a composite of these captures.

Lots of names for this #celestial #spectacle: the #BloodMoon, the #FullMoon, even March's #WormMoon.

Most importantly, #MoonGazers, it's the #TotalLunarEclipse, and what we call the #Night of the #KrononautMoon, the Night when #TimeTravelers are invited to come visit, or send us a #quantum #signal from the #beyond!

The Krononaut Moon Project (@KronoMoon) is collecting Full Moon #photos from the far reaches of the #Fediverse, all Thursday Night & all Friday Night, 2025 Mar 13-14. We love a #MoonShot that includes #people in it (or Time Travelers!) — what we call a "#Moonsie". The Total Lunar Eclipse occurs around 07:00 UTC Friday.

Watch the Moon & #Stars this week, and please note any #anomalous #phenomena (#UFOs or #UAP). Share your #documentation with @KronoMoonPhotos & @KronoMoon, or contact: Photos@KronoMoon.org
