Seasons in Juja, KE

This place can get really green 🌱🌿 and also really dusty 🐪🏜️. Surprisingly, these two images were taken just one month apart — one in March and the other in April 2025.

It's been long since I saw one of these 🙂 🌈 🌧️

This is why an eclipse can’t happen right now: the Moon and the Sun are passing 41° away from each other in the sky. For an eclipse to occur, they must pass along the same path.

Socrates was against students taking down notes because he believed it would undermine their memory—but it is ironic that we wouldn’t remember he said that, 2,500 years later, if Plato hadn’t written it down 😂.

I believe this is solid proof that the Moon’s position in its orbit is what directly influences our tides. 🌕🌊

📅 September 27, 2025 — Waxing Crescent 🌒 → High tide in the morning
📅 November 3, 2025 — Waxing Gibbous 🌔 → Low tide in the morning

Happy Halloween 🎃👻

This year's Halloween fell 5 Days short of a full moon 🌕. A full moon on Halloween night is a very rare event and occurs once every 18 years. The last time it occurred was in 2020, and the next time it will occur will be in 2039.

Tonight's first quarter moon using different lenses with different focal lengths. 🌓

Increasing focal length gives you more magnification while preserving the details. 📸

Genesis 1:16:
So God made the two larger lights, the sun to rule over the day and the moon to rule over the night;

The probability of the sun and moon being the same size in the sky of a planet with intelligent beings in the universe is extremely small.

Maths teaches you the skill of organization.

Just as this formula has been rearranged to make it easier to solve, you should also organize things in your life to make them easier to solve when you can't see the way forward. 📐

We’re seeing the Earth’s shadow in this image.

It's a fascinating atmospheric phenomenon that occurs at the boundary between golden hour and civil twilight, when the Sun has just dipped below the horizon and direct sunlight no longer reaches the ground, but the upper atmosphere remains illuminated.

Happy Equinox Day 🎉

I live along the equator, so we don't have seasons here. But on this day our shadows disappear at midday ☀️
