Don’t forget to look up tonight!!

We’re getting a partial lunar eclipse, and most of the Moon will move into Earth’s shadow before the night is over. The eclipse starts around 9:23 PM, becomes much more noticeable around 10:33 PM, and reaches its peak just after midnight at about 12:12 AM.

If the clouds cooperate, it should be a beautiful one.

I always think eclipses are a good excuse to slow down for a minute. Whether you’re into astrology or you just like a little celestial drama, there’s something about watching the Moon change in real time that makes the night feel a little different.

♈ Aries: Stop pushing so hard. Something may be easier than you’re making it.

♉ Ta**us: Take a look at what feels comfortable but maybe isn’t working anymore.

♊ Gemini: Pay attention to conversations tonight. Someone may say more than they realize.

♋ Cancer: Protect your peace, but don’t shut everyone out.

♌ Leo: Not everything important needs to be seen or applauded.

♍ Virgo: You do not have to have the whole plan figured out before you start.

♎ Libra: If you’ve been keeping the peace at your own expense, it may be time to rebalance things.

♏ Scorpio: You’re good at endings and transformations. Trust yourself with this one.

♐ Sagittarius: Follow whatever feels interesting, even if it wasn’t part of the original plan.

♑ Capricorn: Give yourself permission to rest. Everything does not have to be finished tonight.

♒ Aquarius: That strange little idea you’ve been thinking about may actually be worth exploring.

♓ Pisces: Pay attention to your dreams and instincts tonight. Write things down if something sticks with you.

A simple little eclipse ritual if you want one: write down one thing you’re ready to leave behind and one thing you’d like to make room for next. Keep the second one. Tear up the first.

And then just go outside for a minute and look at the Moon.

Sometimes that’s enough.

🦈 Did you know that Savannah was once beneath a prehistoric sea?

Georgia’s fossil history changes dramatically depending on where you are. In northwest Georgia, ancient marine rocks preserve trilobites and other creatures that lived hundreds of millions of years ago. Here in coastal Georgia, our younger sediments preserve an entirely different world.

Long before Savannah existed, sharks—including the enormous megalodon—swam through warm coastal waters covering this region. Ancient whales, dolphins, rays, sea turtles and sea cows lived here too. Much later, mastodons, mammoths, giant ground sloths, bison and other Ice Age mammals roamed Georgia.

One of our state’s most remarkable discoveries is Georgiacetus vogtlensis, a roughly 40-million-year-old early whale found in Burke County beside the Savannah River. It represents an important stage in the evolution of whales from land-dwelling ancestors into fully aquatic animals. Reconstruction can be seen in the Georgia southern Museum in Statesboro. 

That is why the location of a fossil matters so much. The county, surrounding sediment and exact geological layer help scientists determine its age, original environment and whether it was found where the animal died or carried there millions of years later.

Georgia’s official state fossil is the fossil shark tooth—and megalodon teeth have been found near Savannah. The next little black tooth you spot along the coast may be a remnant of an ocean that disappeared millions of years ago.

Please remember that fossil-collecting rules depend on who owns or manages the land. Never dig or remove fossils from protected property without permission.

Georgia’s history goes much deeper than its oldest buildings. Sometimes, it is waiting beneath our feet. 🐚🦴🦈
