IT'S CHRISTMAS! |
Quote Of The Day |
"Life is a journey that must be traveled no matter how bad the roads and accommodations." - Oliver Goldsmith |
Abbreviated Edition Today |
Because today is Christmas, we’ve taken a short pause to spend time with our families. As a result, you’ll notice that today’s edition of The Onslow Insider contains limited content. The same will be true for next week’s edition as well, since next Thursday falls on New Year’s Day.
On behalf of everyone here at The Onslow Insider, I want to extend a heartfelt Merry Christmas to our readers and sponsors. This publication would not be possible without your support, and we are truly grateful for each and every one of you. Thank you for being part of our growing community.
As we celebrate this season, may we all be blessed and take a moment to remember the true meaning behind Christmas. Cherish the time spent with your family and loved ones. Make memories you’ll carry with you for years to come.
Merry Christmas, and warm wishes for a happy and peaceful holiday season. |
Moon Meets Saturn |
 |
On December 26, 2025, a breathtaking celestial event occurs as the Moon meets Saturn in a rare alignment. The Moon glows brightly in silver-white tones, casting a soft, ethereal glow across the cold, dark sky. The distant Saturn, with its iconic golden rings, sits just beside the Moon, its presence majestic and mysterious against the vastness of space.
The two celestial bodies align perfectly, creating a striking contrast - the Moon’s cool silver light against the warm, golden glow of Saturn’s rings. The stars twinkle faintly in the background, while nebula textures add depth to the scene. The quiet beauty of the moment fills the universe with harmony and wonder.
This rare alignment reminds us of the infinite beauty of the cosmos, where planets, moons, and stars come together in perfect synchronicity.

A Great Site To See December 31 |
As 2025 comes to a close, stargazers are in for a spectacular celestial treat. On December 31, the Moon will appear beside the Seven Sisters, also known as the Pleiades star cluster, creating a breathtaking year-end sky show. This alignment is a perfect opportunity for astronomy enthusiasts, photographers, and casual skywatchers to capture one of the most beautiful sights of the year.
The Pleiades cluster has fascinated humans for thousands of years, appearing in myths and legends across cultures. Seeing the Moon close to this cluster adds an extra layer of magic, as its bright glow illuminates the delicate pattern of stars. Observers will notice the contrast between the Moon’s familiar silvery light and the soft, twinkling stars of the Seven Sisters.
This event is easy to spot even with the naked eye, but binoculars or a small telescope will reveal even more stunning details. The timing makes it a perfect way to end the year under the night sky, reflecting on the wonders of the cosmos and the beauty of our own place in the universe.
Whether you are a seasoned astronomer or simply curious about the stars, this celestial pairing is a reminder of the endless marvels above us. Make sure to step outside on December 31, 2025, and witness the Moon as it closes the year beside the Seven Sisters. It’s a moment that connects the past, present, and future of stargazing in a single magical view.
