The Full Buck Moon Rises Thursday night

Summer nights are always a little nicer when the moon grows full, and that's happening right now. The Full Buck Moon will reach its peak illumination Thursday night, July 10th. The moon will rise above the horizon at about 9 pm, skimming low on the horizon before setting at 6:30 Friday morning. This low arc in the sky is caused by the tilt of the Earth and its orientation between the sun and the moon. What's interesting is that the low arc in the sky mimics the low arc in the sky the sun takes 6 months prior, during the heart of winter. The full moon in July is named for deer because it's a time of the year when male deer antlers are rapidly growing. The July full moon also goes by other names like the Hay Moon or the Thunder Moon.

Tibetan glacial lake drainage triggered deadly flood in Nepal, climate body says

By Gopal Sharma KATHMANDU (Reuters) -The deadly flood in Nepal's Bhote Koshi River that killed at least nine people and left more than two dozen missing this week was triggered by the draining of a supraglacial lake in the Tibet region of China, a regional climate monitoring body said on Wednesday. At least 19 people, including six Chinese workers at the Beijing-aided Inland Container Depot, remain missing in Nepal after Tuesday's floods that also washed away the 'Friendship Bridge' that links Nepal and China. China's official Xinhua news agency has said 11 people were unaccounted for on the Chinese side of the mountainous border region. The Kathmandu-based International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD) said satellite imagery showed the flood originated from the draining of the lake north of Nepal's Langtang Himal range. "This is based on the preliminary analysis based on the available satellite images," Sudan Maharjan, a remote sensing analyst and expert of glaciers at ICIMOD, told Reuters. A supraglacial lake is formed on the surface of glaciers, particularly in debris-covered areas. It often begins as small meltwater ponds that gradually expand and sometimes merge to form a larger supraglacial lake, experts say. Saswata Sanyal, another ICIMOD official, said such events were increasing at an "unprecedented" pace in the Hindu Kush mountains that are spread across Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, China, India, Myanmar, Nepal and Pakistan. "We need to delve deeper into the triggers that are resulting in cascading impacts," Sanyal said. The June-September monsoon causes massive floods and landslides in mountainous Nepal which, officials and experts say, is vulnerable to effects of climate change like extreme weather patterns, inconsistent rainfall, flash floods, landslides and glacial lake outburst floods. This year's early monsoon rains have inflicted deadly damage elsewhere in Nepal where at least 38 people have been killed or are missing since May 29, according to data from the government's National Disaster Relief, Reduction and Management Authority.
