Comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS
Happy November! I’m writing this update as Davd and I are driving home from an excursion to New Mexico and Colorado chasing Comet Tsuchinshan-ATLAS and the northern lunastice moon.

By and large, we travel to the Four Corners region, especially to Chaco Canyon. We’ve also ventured to the Bighorn Medicine Wheel in Wyoming, and for winter solstice 2022, we did a great, big mounds…
