🌗Third Quarter Moon 12/22/24 🛰️ISS Crossi

🌗Third Quarter Moon 12/22/24

🛰️ISS Crossing! The ISS will first rise in the NW sky, just north of Gemini and Mars around 6:20 AM. It will move past the Big Dipper around 6:23 AM, then set down in the SE sky, where the Sun will be rising about an hour later. It is brighter than a star and faster than a plane! It should still be visible in morning twilight.

💫Watch for the Ursids! This meteor shower peaks December 22, and looks as though it’s centered around Ursa Major. This means it’s best visible when you have a good view of the Big Dipper—the brightest stars in that constellation. It will be late in the night into the early morning. This is a low key shower, usually showing just a handful of meteors.

It's time for miSci's innovator of the week! This week we're highlighting Patsy Sherman, pioneering chemist of cleanliness!

Working together with chemist Samuel Smith in the mid-1900s Sherman discovered ways to combine cloth with polymers, creating stain-resistant fabric. Their most famous invention, Scotchgard, became a common part of couches, rugs, and more because objects coated with it were much more resistant to stains.

For miSci's 90th anniversary we are highlighting an innovator every week and inviting people to spread their stories!
