MARK YOU CALENDARS!!! 💫🤩

Set your alarm - tomorrow August 12 brings a six-planet alignment before sunrise, a solar eclipse in the afternoon, and the peak of the Perseid meteor shower after dark - a new moon keeps the sky perfectly dark - NASA says this combination is extremely rare!!!

It starts in the pre-dawn hours, when six planets will be stretched across the sky in a wide sweep from east to west. Jupiter, Mercury, Mars, and Saturn will be visible to the naked eye, while Uranus will require binoculars and Neptune a telescope. The best time to look is in the hour before sunrise, when the planets are highest and the sky has not yet brightened.

Then comes the afternoon solar eclipse, sweeping across Greenland, Iceland, Arctic Russia, northern Spain, and a small corner of Portugal, marking the first total solar eclipse visible from western and central Europe since 1999. Observers in broader parts of Europe, Canada, the northern United States, and northwestern Africa will see a partial eclipse. If any part of the sun is visible, certified eclipse glasses or a safe solar viewer are essential.

The new moon also arrives on August 12, the fourth major event of the day and arguably the most important for skywatchers. It means the night sky will be as dark as it gets, with zero moonlight competing with the stars, creating ideal conditions for the evening's main event.

After dark, the Perseid meteor shower peaks on the night of August 12 into the early morning of August 13, capable of producing up to 100 meteors per hour under those perfectly dark new moon skies. For the best view, move away from city lights, let your eyes adjust for at least 20 minutes, and simply watch from late evening into the early hours of August 13. No equipment required.

While individual occurrences of these events are common throughout any given year, their simultaneous arrival on a single calendar date is highly unusual.

Set an alarm for before sunrise. Find eclipse glasses if you are in a viewing region for the afternoon. Step outside at the new moon. Get somewhere dark after nightfall.

Your peace is more important than driving yourself crazy trying to understand why something happened the way it did. Let it go.

Think salmon farming is a clean, natural way to produce food? The latest data out of Australia confirms a shocking reality.

In Tasmania, the industry has admitted to dumping 5.4 tonnes of a powerful antibiotic called florfenicol into public waterways in a single summer. They were trying to fight a massive bacterial disease outbreak.

The result of pumping all those drugs into open water? 9,000 tonnes of salmon died anyway.

Five tonnes of antibiotics could not save nine thousand tonnes of fish crowded into intensive open-net sea pens. The conditions simply make them too vulnerable to disease.

Worse still, the drugs didn't stay in the pens. Traces of the antibiotic were detected in wild marine species up to 14 kilometres away, forcing regulators to ban the drug and shut down local wild fisheries to protect public safety.

Yet, instead of fixing the underlying problem—the intensive, crowded conditions that cause these outbreaks in the first place—the industry is already applying for a new permit to do it all over again.

Whether it is happening in Tasmania or right here in Scotland, the story of open-pen salmon farming is exactly the same: high stocking densities, severe disease outbreaks, massive die-offs, and heavy chemical interventions that spill directly into our shared coastal waters.

Look past the marketing and say NO to farmed salmon.

You’ve already seen this for a reason.
Not everything is meant to be “considered forever” — some things are meant to be acted on when they still feel right. This Bali experience is one of them. 10 nights. A small group. A pause from everything that’s been pulling you in different directions. We’re now speaking with women who feel ready to take the next step.

If that’s you — the door is still open, but not for long.
