Super Moon.

The July 2013 full Moon falls on Monday, July 22, 2013. This month’s full Moon falls one day after July’s lunar perigee, which is the Moon’s closest point to Earth for this monthly orbit. Astronomers will call this full Moon a perigee full Moon, but everyone else will call it a Super Moon.

Record Crowds at Stonehenge

The Times reports that there were 36,500 people at Stonehenge for yesterday morning’s Summer Solstice Sunrise. Sadly, the sun remained hidden behind the clouds.
As much as I’d love to see a Solstice sunrise at Stonehenge, with those crowds I’m not sure I really want   to be there!
