Kathleen Fleming has a new StarDate Susitna talking about the moon and other celestial happenings.

This illustration shows that, for Trapper Creek on the night of 7-7 at midnight, the Moon failed to rise above the due South horizon. Created with Stellarium. https://stellarium-web.org/
This illustration shows that, for Coldfoot AK, almost 1 degree north of the Arctic Circle, the Sun fails to rise at Solar Noon on the Winter Solstice. Created using Stellarium.

Bonus:  The website Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD, curated by NASA) is a great source of info and images, including an archive with convenient Search ability.  Here is a link to a photo collection about this Lunar phenomenon Kathleen that has been talking about off and on for several months.  https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap250620.html
