  1. Look for full moon Tuesday night

    March's full moon arrives Wednesday morning, the first to fall after the vernal equinox.
    March's full moon arrives Wednesday morning, the first to fall after the vernal equinox. It is the fourth full moon after the winter solstice, something that usually falls in April. This full moon is known by names including Grass Moon, Egg Moon,...

  2. Look for Full Snow Moon, International Space Station in night sky this week

    The moon reaches its “fullest” phase at 3:26 p.m. today, so when it rises at about 6:05 p.m., it will be shining brightly, with clear skies expected. The International Space Station will meanwhile make a few passes over Maryland this week, but clouds could block it.

  3. Love story begins with one Super Bowl, continues at another

    This is what kind of roll the Ravens are on now: they've even inspired a love story. It's not a gauzy, Hallmark Channel tale, but a story of serendipity, fate and perseverance — and a football team at the center of it all.

  4. Commentary: The 'end of the world' beliefs have sequels, which is a good thing

    Well, folks, we've done it. Fourteen days have passed since the world was supposed to end, and it just didn't happen. Glory be to the Mayan civilization that set us up, but, hey, it wasn't their fault if we missed the fact that all calendars come to an end — and then start up again. You know, like a second past every Dec. 31 midnight becomes Jan. 1.

  5. Evidence of climate change on a sun-splashed rock

    Wally Vait has a good eye for such things, so I'm not surprised that during a hike Saturday on the North Central Railroad Trail in Freeland, he spotted an Eastern garter snake on a sun-splashed rock. The question: What was it doing there, after one of the coldest Novembers on record, and with the winter solstice two weeks away?

  6. Sunsets to start getting later again after Friday

    We are still about two weeks away from the shortest day of the year, but after Friday night, the early winter sunsets will start shifting later again.

  7. The inspiration of dark evenings

    How the days and months seem to have melted away — melted away from dawns to darkest evenings that arrive earlier each day.
    How the days and months seem to have melted away — melted away from dawns to darkest evenings that arrive earlier each day. We are now approaching "the darkest evening of the year," as one of our favorite American poets, Robert Frost, mentioned at...

  8. Apocalypse when now? Doomsday enthusiasts are still holding out hope

    Well, 12:01 a.m. came and went (even in <strong>Mayan</strong> Time, otherwise known as Central Time) and nothing really happened. Although Annapolis was plunged into darkness and bathed in an eerie blue light, BGE assures us it wasn't apocalypse-related. Pessimists are still holding out hope though, guessing maybe it will happen at the end of long day's work right before your Christmas vacation starts.
