What is a Hunter's Moon?
If you live in the northern hemisphere, than stargazing during the early autumn months can a bit tricky. During certain times in these seasons, the stars, planets and Milky Way will be obscured by the presence of some very beautiful full moons. But if you're a fan of moongazing, then you're in luck.
Because it is also around this time (the month of October) that people looking to the night sky will have the chance to see what is known as a Hunter's Moon. A slight variation on a full moon, the Hunter's Moon has long been regarded as a significant event in traditional folklore, and a subject of interest for astronomers.
Definition:
Also known as a sanguine or "blood" moon, the term "Hunters Moon" is used traditionally to refer to a full moon that appears during the month of October. It is preceded by the appearance of a "Harvest Moon", which is the full moon closest to the autumnal equinox (which falls on the 22nd or 23rd of September).
The Hunter's Moon typically appears in October, except once every four years when it doesn't appear until November. The name dates back to the First Nations of North America. It is so-called because it was during the month of October, when the deers had fatted themselves over the course of the summer, that hunters tracked and killed prey by autumn moonlight, stockpiling food for the coming winter. …

Full Moon October 2023 - Hunter's Moon And Alternative Names
by Melissa Mayntz Updated: October 17, 2023
The full Moon October 2023 is intriguing, as Moon symbolism is often closely associated with Halloween and the general spookiness of late autumn. But October's "Hunter's Moon" has many more associations than ghosts and goblins on one day of the month.
Full Moon October 2023: Saturday, October 28 (and partial lunar eclipse)
Peak Illumination: 4:24 p.m. Eastern Time
More Hunting Related Names
While "Hunter's Moon" is the most common name for the October full Moon, the Stockbridge-Munsee tribe of Wisconsin and the Tunica tribe of Louisiana have a slight variation, and call this the "Hunting Moon" associating with the action rather than the person. Still, the connection to hunting season is clear for this month's full Moon…

Jordan says along with Baker they will interview Matt Williams who retired from FIB at the same time as Baker.Is this the same guy in uniform?Other picture is from Daily mail article on agency personnel at twitter.
He gets the medal of honor one year after leaving the FIB. This article is about his heroic deeds but doesn't mention if he went to the agency.
Medal of Honor Monday: Army Master Sgt. Matthew Williams
Oct. 28, 2019 | By Katie Lange
Williams was born Oct. 3, 1981, and spent most of his childhood in the small town of Boerne, Texas.He initially wanted to be a detective or work for the FBI when he grew up, so he got his bachelor's degree in criminal justice at Angelo State University in San Angelo, Texas.
But after 9/11, Williams started rethinking how he could serve his country. He did some research into Special Forces programs and, in September 2005, joined the Army. Two years later, he became a weapons sergeant - someone who knows U.S. and foreign weaponry well and often goes behind enemy lines to help friendly forces train and recruit.

Panic?
Owl photos are flooding the internet ahead of the Super Bowl. Here's why
Superb Owl. No wait, Super Bowl.
Too late.
Instead of Super Bowl information, one small typo later and your search results are filled with owl content instead. And we'd like to encourage you to lean into the error. Because owls truly are "superb."
These birds are a far cry from football, but over the years the trend has gained significant popularity. So much so, that many people flood the internet with photos of owls before the Super Bowl each year. (And you know what a gathering of owls is called, right? A parliament.)
This internet phenomenon puts these feathery creatures in the spotlight, which ultimately aids awareness, said Matt Williams, director of conservation with the Indiana Chapter of The Nature Conservancy.
"I say anything that helps get the message out about the importance of conservation is a good thing," he said.
A stone-cold predator
Owls are quite interesting. Some people think they are innocent balls of fluff, but that couldn't be further from the truth, Williams said.
"Owls are voracious predators that hunt mostly at night using a very keen sense of hearing to help locate their prey," he said in an email.
Their disc-shaped face directs sound to their ears, which allows them to hear the quietest noises, Williams explained. Their feathers are designed to make them almost completely silent when they fly, a useful trick for sneaking up on their prey, he added.
Most owls are content to feast on small mammals like mice and shrews, said Seth Magle, director of the Urban Wildlife Institute at the Lincoln Park Zoo in Chicago.
Some larger owls like the great horned owl can snatch up rabbits, skunks or even other owls, Williams said.
Super Bowl owl mascots
The Los Angeles Rams and the Cincinnati Bengals may already have their own mascots, but there's no harm in adding some owls into the mix.
Williams thought the barred owl could represent the Bengals because the birds share a similar stripe pattern to the team's helmets.
"For the Rams, I'd have to say the snowy owl of Harry Potter fame because their quarterback Matthew Stafford has been a wizard during their playoff run so far," he explained.
Magle assigned the Eastern screech owl to the Bengals because it's found in Ohio and shares a similar color to the team.
The California spotted owl would fit quite nicely with the Rams, he added.
"It has a four-note call sometimes described as 'hup, hoo-hoo, hooo,' which seems like it could be an audible called at the line of scrimmage," Magle said.

LINCOLN, Neb. (KOLN) - The Nebraska Legislature fell short of reaching the 33 vote threshold required to call a special session to stop vaccine mandates.
"Thank you to the 28 State Senators who supported the call for a special session to stop vaccine mandates," said Governor Ricketts. "Sadly, not enough members of the Legislature signed onto the effort - there needs to be five more votes to break a filibuster. Right now, there are Nebraskans who are losing their jobs over vaccine mandates. Until more Senators step up, these people who are hurting won't get the help they need. Senators that have been holding back need to come together and help the Nebraskans being hurt by vaccine mandates."
State Senators that supported a special session: Sen. Joni Albrecht, Sen. John Arch, Sen. Bruce Bostelman, Sen. Tom Brandt, Sen. Tom Brewer, Sen. Tom Briese, Sen. Robert Clements, Sen. Myron Dorn, Sen. Steve Erdman, Sen. Mike Flood, Sen. Curt Friesen, Sen. Suzanne Geist, Sen. Tim Gragert, Sen. Mike Groene, Sen. Steve Halloran, Sen. Ben Hansen, Sen. Mike Hilgers, Sen.

Trump signs an executive order allowing mining the Moon and asteroids
In 2015, the Obama administration signed the U.S. Commercial Space Launch Competitiveness Act (CSLCA, or H.R. 2262) into law. This bill was intended to "facilitate a pro-growth environment for the developing commercial space industry" by making it legal for American companies and citizens to own and sell resources that they extract from asteroids and off-world locations (like the Moon, Mars, or beyond).
On April 6th, the Trump administration took things a step further by signing an executive order that formally recognizes the rights of private interests to claim resources in space. This order, titled "Encouraging International Support for the Recovery and Use of Space Resources," effectively ends the decades-long debate that began with the signing of The Outer Space Treaty in 1967.
This order builds on both the CSLCA and Space Directive-1 (SD-1), which the Trump administration signed into law on December 11th, 2017. It establishes that "Americans should have the right to engage in commercial exploration, recovery, and use of resources in outer space, consistent with applicable law," and that the United States does not view space as a "global commons."
This order puts an end to decades of ambiguity regarding commercial activities in space, which were technically not addressed by the Outer Space or Moon Treaties. The former, formally known as "The Treaty on Principles Governing the Activities of States in the Exploration and Use of Outer Space, including the Moon and Other Celestial Bodies", was signed by the US, the Soviet Union, and the UK in 1967 at the height of the Space Race.
The purpose of it was to provide a common framework governing the activities of all the major powers in space. In addition to banning the placement or testing of nuclear weapons in space, the Outer Space Treaty established that the exploration and use of outer space would be carried out for the benefit "of all mankind."
As of June 2019, the Treaty has been signed by no less than 109 countries while another 23 have signed it but have not yet completed the ratification process. At the same time, there has been an ongoing debate regarding the full meaning and implications of the Treaty. Specifically, Article II of the Treaty states that:
"Outer space, including the Moon and other celestial bodies, is not subject to national appropriation by claim of sovereignty, by means of use or occupation, or by any other means."
As the language is specific to national ownership, there has never been a legal consensus on whether or not the treaty's prohibitions apply to private appropriation as well. Because of this, there are those who argue that property rights should be recognized on the basis of jurisdiction rather than territorial sovereignty.
Attempts to address this ambiguity led the United Nations to draft the supplemental "Agreement Governing the Activities of States on the Moon and Other Celestial Bodies" - aka. "The Moon Treaty" or "Moon Agreement." Like the Outer Space Treaty, this agreement stipulated that the Moon should be used for the benefit of all humanity and that non-scientific activities should be governed by an international framework.

The Lunar Gateway is No Longer a Required Part of the Artemis Mission to Return to the Moon by 2024
…
As Lovarro explained, this means focusing on technologies and activities that NASA already has experience developing. He also stated that those risks that can't be eliminated need to be "burned down". All of this is essential, he claimed, to creating the necessary mission architecture to land astronauts on the Moon by 2024. As he summarized:
"What are we going to do to go ahead and make that happen? And the answer is you've got to go ahead and remove all the things that add to program risk along the way.
"What are all of the risks that can get in our way in a four-and-a-half-year schedule and how do we go ahead and pull them all early into program, or eliminate them from the program altogether by going ahead and making wise technical or programmatic choices?"
For this reason, he said during the latter half of the session, the Lunar Gateway had to be removed as a critical element to the program. This comes on the heels of what Associate Administrator Steve Jurczyk announced back in February at the LSIC's kickoff meeting. It was here that Jurczyk explained that the first mission (Artemis 1) would likely be delayed and would take place in "mid to late" 2021.

NASA tells Boeing to Make 61 Corrective Actions to Starliner Before the Program can Continue
With the retirement of the Space Shuttle in 2011, NASA has become dependent on its Russian counterparts to send and return astronauts to the International Space Station (ISS). Hoping to restore domestic launch capability to American soil, NASA has contracted with aerospace developers like SpaceX and Boeing to develop crew-capable spacecraft, as part of their Commercial Crew Program (CCP).
After years of development, Boeing managed to get their CST-100 Starliner ready for its first uncrewed test flight on December 20th, 2019. Unfortunately, a hiccup occurred during the mission that prevented the spacecraft docking with the ISS. After an independent review of the mission, NASA and Boeing have determined that 61 corrective actions need to be taken before the Starliner can fly again.
The Calypso, it should be noted, was successfully launched from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station and made it safely home (touching down near White Sands, New Mexico) - thus proving that the design is space-worthy. However, the spacecraft experienced an "elapsed timing error" during the flight that caused its thrusters to experience an intense period of thruster activity that burned through much of the spacecraft's fuel.

Who Wants to be a Trillionaire? Mission to Psyche Could Uncover Tons of Precious Metals!
It has been said that within the next quarter century, the world's first trillionaires will emerge. It is also predicted that much of their wealth will stem from asteroid mining, a burgeoning space industry where minerals and volatile compounds will be harvested from Near-Earth Asteroids. This industry promises to flood the market with ample supplies of precious metals like gold, silver and platinum.
Beyond Earth, there's the long-term prospect of the Main Asteroid Belt, which would provide even greater abundance. This is one of the reasons why NASA's Psyche mission to explore the metal asteroid of the same name in the Main Belt has many people excited. While the exploration of this body could tell us much about the history of the Solar System, it could also be a source of riches someday.
What makes Psyche 16 particularly interesting is its almost pure, metallic composition. According to radar observations, the asteroid has been determined to be made up of mostly iron and nickel. This separates it from most other asteroids, which are either primarily composed of silicate minerals (S-type) or carbonaceous compounds (C-type).
And while metallic asteroids (M-type) are known to exist, Psyche is the largest of the bunch - measuring about 225 km (140 mi) in diameter. This has led many in the astronomical community to the conclusion that Psyche is actually the remnant core of a planet. Therefore, studying it would reveal a great deal about planet formation during the early Solar System and the magnetic properties of rocky worlds (like Earth).
This is why NASA hopes to send a mission to this asteroid in 2022 - which would arrive by 2026 and spend the next 21 months studying it from orbit. But for futurists and the venture capitalists, this asteroid is interesting because it contains an estimated $700 quintillion (that's 18 zeroes!) worth of precious heavy metals, which includes vast quantities of gold and platinum.
