Mark your calendars!
December 4, 2025, brings the Cold Moon, and this year it’s a dazzling supermoon.
Rising brighter and slightly larger than usual, it lights up the lengthening nights as we approach winter.
Don’t miss this stunning celestial show—read on to discover the best times to watch, how to capture it in photos, and the fascinating folklore behind this late fall Moon.
When to See December’s Full Moon
The Full Cold Moon will be 100% illuminated on December 4 at 6:14 P.M. EST.
For the most dramatic view, watch just after moonrise, when the Moon appears larger near the horizon—a phenomenon called the “Moon illusion.”
Clear skies and minimal light pollution will make it easier to appreciate the Moon’s brightness and detail.

"Ulysses"
-Fernando Pessoa
Ulysses
Myth is the nothing that is everything.
The very sun that breaks through the skies
Is a bright and speechless myth--
God's dead body,
Naked and alive.
This hero who cast anchor here,
Because he never was, slowly came to exist.
Without ever being, he sufficed us.
Having never come here,
He came to be our founder.
Thus the legend, little by little,
Seeps into reality,
Spreading and enriching it.
Life down below, half
Of nothing, perishes.
Fernando Pessoa

“When love and skill work together, expect a masterpiece. “ John Ruskin
Landgericht Halle
The Halle Regional Court is a masterpiece of design. A regular court located in Halle (Saale), Germany.
In Germany, an Amtsgericht (abbreviated AG) is, alongside the Landgerichte (and, less frequently, the Oberlandesgerichte), the court of first instance in the ordinary court system. The name derives from the Amte (districts), the former administrative and judicial districts of many territories in the Holy Roman Empire.
The Regional Court building was constructed between 1903 and 1905. It is one of the city's most prestigious buildings, built in the typical historicist style of Wilhelmine judicial architecture.
The architects of the four-winged building were the Prussian building officials Paul Thoemer, from the Prussian Ministry of Public Works in Berlin, and Karl Illert (1856–1907) in Halle.
Facing Hansering, it features a broad, symmetrical facade with a central projection and corner towers, adorned with portraits of legal scholars and, along the window sills, with animals and mythical creatures.
The towers reach a height of 50 meters. Stylistically, it also combines elements of Gothic, Renaissance, and Art Nouveau architecture. In addition to the sandstone facade, the stairwell is particularly noteworthy, featuring a double spiral staircase within a circular domed hall approximately 20 meters in diameter and 42 meters high.
The Palace of Justice underwent extensive restoration and reopened in spring 2013.

TUNES FOR THE POST APOCALYPSE
This week in 1988, the Tracy Chapman single “Baby Can I Hold You” debuted on the UK Singles Chart at #100 (November 26)
The song reached the Top 50 in the US, unlike its predecessor “Talkin' 'bout a Revolution", but it failed to become Chapman's second Top 40 hit after “Fast Car”, peaking at #48.
Another beautiful example of Chapman’s craft, it was to be her last Top 50 hit until 1996's "Give Me One Reason".
Elsewhere, the song from her outstanding self-titled debut album went all the way to #1 in Brazil and Portugal, #16 in New Zealand, #27 in Canada, #68 in Australia, and #94 in the UK.

Schloss Ort ⚔️
Orth Castle was first mentioned in documents in 909. Its name was then found again in 1053. Initially, the castle was surrounded by a moat and another outer wall. However, after a fire in 1626, the island structure was restored to the form seen today. The castle is an irregular triangle in shape. Most of the buildings were built in the late Gothic style.
The castle’s first rulers were nobles from the von Orth family, who were Styrian ministerials. The founder of the family is considered to be Hartnid von Orth, the great-grandson of the Bavarian Count Aribo II. The von Orth family owned the castle from the 10th century until 1244.
The last member of the dynasty came into conflict with the overlord, was imprisoned, and deprived of his family estates. From the second half of the 13th century, the castle changed hands several times in a short period of time, until in 1483 it became the personal property of the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick III.
This Habsburg representative transformed the island fortress into a luxurious residence, where he enjoyed spending his free time.
At the end of the 16th century, the castle was purchased by the city of Gmunden. By that time, the local burghers had become very wealthy from the salt trade.
However, in 1603, the castle was sold back to the Habsburg imperial domain.

“Most civilization is based on cowardice. It's so easy to civilize by teaching cowardice. You water down the standards which would lead to bravery. You restrain the will. You regulate the appetites. You fence in the horizons. You make a law for every movement. You deny the existence of chaos. You teach even the children to breathe slowly. You tame.”

TUNES FOR THE POST APOCALYPSE
This week in 1979, the Pink Floyd single “Another Brick In The Wall, Part 2” debuted on the UK Singles Chart at #26
(December 1)
"Part 2" of the three-part composition "Another Brick in the Wall", from Pink Floyd's 1979 rock opera “The Wall”, written by bass player Roger Waters was released as a single, Pink Floyd's first in the UK since "Point Me at the Sky" (1968).
It sold over four million copies worldwide, was nominated for a Grammy Award and was #384 on Rolling Stone's list of "The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time".
Bass player Roger Waters wrote "Part 2" as a protest against rigid schooling, particularly boarding schools, and engineer Nick Griffiths recorded children singing the verse at Islington Green School, close to Pink Floyd's studio, which was a big part of the charm of the song.
In exchange for performing vocals, the children of Islington School received tickets to a Pink Floyd concert, an album, and a single.
Though the school received a payment of £1,000, there was no contractual arrangement for royalties for the children, but following a change to UK copyright law in 1996, they became eligible for royalties from broadcasts.
After royalties agent Peter Rowan traced the choir members, they successfully lodged a claim for royalties with the Performing Artists' Media Rights Association in 2004.
The single was a worldwide hit, going to #1 in the US, the UK and 13 other countries.

TUNES FOR THE POST APOCALYPSE
This week in 1967, The Beatles single “Hello, Goodbye” debuted on the US Billboard Hot 100 at #45 (December 2)
The song written by Paul McCartney and credited to Lennon–McCartney was the group's first release since the death of their manager, Brian Epstein.
It eventually went to #1 in the US, the UK, New Zealand, Canada, Australia, France, Norway, Sweden, Germany and the Netherlands.
Unimpressed with the composition, Lennon pushed for "I Am the Walrus" to be the single's A-side, before reluctantly accepting that "Hello, Goodbye" was the more commercial-sounding of the two sides, relegating Lennon’s composition “I Am The Walrus” to the B-side.
Lennon later said, "'Hello, Goodbye' beat out 'I Am the Walrus' ... Can you believe that?”
That's another McCartney. Smells a mile away, doesn't it? An attempt to write a single. It wasn't a great piece.”
There is speculation that the decision to pick “Hello, Goodbye” over “I Am The Walrus” was another step towards their breakup as rifts in the band widened…
The Beatles produced three promotional films for the song, one of which was shown on The Ed Sullivan Show in America.

On the 4 December, 1971.
”Some stupid with a flaregun burned the place to the ground."
On this day in 1971, in an infamous event at the Montreux Casino in Switzerland, the building burnt down during a gig by Frank Zappa & the Mothers of Invention, an incident later immortalised in Deep Purple's 1972 classic rock song "Smoke On The Water."
Fans of the group can listen to the song (as it appears on their 1972 album "Machine Head") here.
The song was also released as a single.

Marine Life in The Philippines & S.E. Asia. and the World. Post #159: Conservation
Today on International Wildlife Conservation Day, we’re reminding you that amongst the stories of extinction and endangerment, there is hope in wildlife conservation. ✨
Species once pushed to the edge have been given a second chance, like the humpback whale, whose numbers in Australia plummeted due to commercial whaling in both Australian waters and Antarctica.
Thanks to community pressure and the actions of conservationists and passionate people around the world, whaling was banned in Australia in 1962, and Japan ended humpback whaling in Antarctica in 2018. Since then, their populations have finally had the chance to recover. 🐋🙌
And then there’s the green turtle, removed from the endangered list earlier this year, a milestone that shows just how powerful long-term protection and persistence can be. 🐢
When we work together, take action, and give wildlife the space to recover, incredible things can happen. Take hope in that. 🌊✨
