La decimotercera y última luna llena de 2023 surcará los cielos a finales de diciembre y, aunque no caerá en Navidad, estará muy cerca de la festividad.Según la NASA, la última luna llena del año aparecerá en el cielo la noche del martes 26 de diciembre.Esa luna, conocida como “Luna Fría” o “Luna de Larga Noche”, lleva, por supuesto, el nombre de las gélidas temperaturas que comienzan a afectar la mayor parte del hemisferio norte cuando comienza el invierno el 21 de diciembre.La “Luna de Noche Larga” se refiere a la duración de las noches en el mes de diciembre, con casi 15 horas de oscuridad por noche durante la mayor parte del mes.El momento de la luna llena en diciembre es especialmente fortuito debido a la lluvia de meteoritos Gemínidas, que alcanzará su punto máximo el 14 de diciembre. Dado que la luna llegará muy temprano en su ciclo de 28 días, debería haber mucha oscuridad para los meteoros que, en el pico de la lluvia, aparecerán en el cielo a razón de hasta 120 de ellos po...

However, Pelicans coach Willie Green said he’d be on minute restrictions. ___AP NBA: https://apnews.com/hub/NBASource

A two-time All-Star, the 29-year-old right-hander went 4-8 with a 6.65 ERA in 18 starts and one relief appearance.But the Mets have several holes to fill in their rotation under new president of baseball operations David Stearns, and they’re hoping Severino can regain the form that once made him one of the best starters in the American League.It’s the second time this offseason the Mets have stayed in New York City and brought in a new addition from the crosstown-rival Yankees.

Henry Kissinger, secretary of state under Presidents Nixon and Ford, dies at 100

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 21:41:47 GMT

WASHINGTON (AP) — Former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, the diplomat with the thick glasses and gravelly voice who dominated foreign policy as the United States extricated itself from Vietnam and broke down barriers with China, died Wednesday, his consulting firm said. He was 100. With his gruff yet commanding presence and behind-the-scenes manipulation of power, Kissinger exerted uncommon influence on global affairs under Presidents Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford, earning both vilification and the Nobel Peace Prize. Decades later, his name still provoked impassioned debate over foreign policy landmarks long past. Kissinger’s power grew during the turmoil of Watergate, when the politically attuned diplomat assumed a role akin to co-president to the weakened Nixon. “No doubt my vanity was piqued,” Kissinger later wrote of his expanding influence. “But the dominant emotion was a premonition of catastrophe.” A Jew who fled Nazi Germany with his family in his teens, Kissinger in his...
