Pouli: a period of darkness in the brightest night.
Did you behold the Pouli Ka Mahina (eclipse of the moon) in the wee hours yesterday? Did you watch as Mahina entered Manaiakalani (the Scorpio constellation) and danced through the sky with Antares, the brightest star in Manaiakalani before her light was shrouded by Earth’s shadow?
What, you missed that? 🖐 So did a lot of us. That was early. Or was it late? Either way, here’s your “constellation prize,” with a Milky Way bonus, as seen from Mauna Loa Road.
