🌑✨ Black Moon – August 22–23, 2025 ✨🌑

A rare and mysterious celestial event is about to unfold — the Black Moon! 🌌

🌑 What is a Black Moon?
• A Black Moon happens when there are two New Moons in the same calendar month.
• Since the lunar cycle lasts about 29.5 days, it doesn’t align perfectly with our calendar. Every 32–33 months, a second New Moon sneaks in — that’s the Black Moon.
• Unlike a Full Moon, the New Moon is invisible because the Moon sits directly between Earth and the Sun.

🌌 Why is it special?
• Extremely rare: Only once every 2.5–3 years.
• Creates the darkest skies, making stars, the Milky Way, and even meteor showers more visible.
• Steeped in mythology: many cultures associate the Black Moon with mystery, transformation, and new beginnings.

🔭 When and how to watch?

📅 Night of August 22–23, 2025
• You won’t see the Moon itself, but you’ll notice the deep darkness of the sky.
• Best viewed far from city lights — perfect for stargazing and astrophotography.
• With binoculars or a telescope, you can explore star clusters, nebulae, and galaxies in greater detail.

🌟 Tips for observers
• Go to a dark rural location for the clearest skies.
• Astrophotographers: bring a tripod and try long-exposure shots of the Milky Way.
• Keep an eye out for other celestial companions — this is a prime time for spotting faint stars.

⚡ Don’t miss it! The next Black Moon won’t return for years.

📷 Abbye "Pudgy" Stockton (right), the first woman to own a gym, (surrounded by her friends, including stunt double and gymnast Relna Brewer (left), on the sunny beaches of Santa Monica in 1946.

She was called “Abbye,” but most people knew her as Pudgy Stockton, the strong, vibrant woman who changed the way the world looked at women’s bodies. In the 1930s and 40s, when most women were expected to stay delicate and small, she was out on Muscle Beach in Santa Monica, lifting weights, balancing men on her shoulders, and showing that strength could be beautiful. She wasn’t just a performer; she became a pioneer.

Abbye opened the very first women’s gym, a radical idea at a time when the fitness world belonged almost entirely to men. Women weren’t supposed to touch barbells, let alone run a place filled with them. But she built a space where women could claim their own power—where muscles weren’t a source of shame but of pride. She understood that strength wasn’t about losing femininity. It was about expanding what it meant to be a woman.

Abbye stood as proof that being strong could be glamorous, that a woman could own her power without asking permission.

There was pushback, of course. Critics called it scandalous, unnecessary, even harmful. But the women who walked through her doors knew better. They felt the shift—not just in their muscles, but in their confidence.
