Moon tonight shines at 69 percent brightness as Waxing Gibbous phase illuminates the sky
Skywatchers across the United States can expect a dazzling display in tonight's sky as the Moon enters a Waxing Gibbous phase, lighting up 69 percent of its surface, according to NASA 's Daily Moon Observation. The glowing lunar disk is steadily building toward the next full moon, expected on August 9. Moon tonight(August 3) marks day 10 of the lunar cycle , part of the Moon's ongoing 29.5-day journey around Earth. These cycles, new moon to full moon and back again, are created by the Sun's light reflecting off different portions of the Moon's surface as it orbits Earth. It's a rhythm that has guided humanity for millennia.

As it rises in the eastern sky just before sunset and sets shortly after midnight, it creates an excellent opportunity for both casual stargazers and astronomy enthusiasts. Even without any equipment, you can spot major features like the Copernicus Crater , Mare Fecunditatis, and Mare Crisium. Binoculars will reveal the Alphonsus Crater, Posidonius Crater, and Mare Frigoris. Those with telescopes can explore the Rima Ariadaeus, the Descartes Highlands, and the Fra Mauro Highlands, where Apollo 14 once landed. Live Events Moon Phases 101 According to NASA, there are eight primary phases of the Moon: New Moon, Waxing Crescent, First Quarter, Waxing Gibbous (tonight's phase), Full Moon, Waning Gibbous, Last Quarter, and Waning Crescent. We always see the same side of the Moon, but the amount illuminated changes as it orbits Earth. That shifting glow creates the lunar phases we observe each night.

5 former Seahawks named to ESPN's All Quarter Century team
5 former Seahawks named to ESPN's All Quarter Century team ESPN recently unveiled their All Quarter Century team: a list of who they consider to be the best NFL players from the year 2000 to present day. Their goal was to make a single team of the best to take the field during the first quarter of the 21st century. Naturally, more than a couple Seattle Seahawks made the list. Some qualifications ESPN made was players who began their careers in the 1990's were still eligible, but production from the year 2000 onward was the only criteria that would be counted. ESPN also allowed a "practice squad" player who missed the cut by their criteria. Those who did make the cut who played for the Seattle Seahawks are as follows: Steve Hutchinson (Seahawks 2001-2005) - second out of two left guards Bobby Wagner (Seahawks 2012-21, 2023) - second out of five linebackers Richard Sherman (Seahawks 2011-2017) - fourth out of five cornerbacks Earl Thomas III (Seahawks 2010-2018) - fourth out of four safeties Devin Hester (Seahawks 2016) - one out of one return specialists Naturally, seeing Bobby Wagner, Richard Sherman and Earl Thomas III make the list is unsurprising. They were the faces of the Legion of Boom, one of the greatest defenses of all time. A case could certainly be made Kam Chancellor should have been on it as well, considering he brought the boom to the LOB, but the rest of the safeties list was already crowded with Brian Dawkins, Ed Reed and Troy Polamalu, with Charles Woodson on the practice squad. However, I will outright say Walter Jones and Marshawn Lynch being left off are two inexcusable snubs. Walter Jones was a first ballot Hall of Famer and one of the best left tackles of all time. In 5,500 passing downs, Jones only surrendered 23 sacks and was penalized for holding nine times. His 4x All-Pro count matches Trent Williams, who did make the cut. Jones was mentioned as a practice squad player, but the roles should have been reversed. As for Marshawn Lynch, his 10,413 rushing yards and 94 all-purpose touchdowns are more than Priest Holmes, as well as having the same number of Super Bowl rings. Lynch is also a member of the Hall of Fame's All-Decade team of the 2010's, something neither Christian McCaffrey and Derrick Henry can say at the moment... nor do either men have championship rings. Finally... it is objectively amusing to see Devin Hester counted among the Seahawks after spending literally only two games with them during the 2016 postseason. But he is officially listed among Seattle's Hall of Famers so he does technically count!

ESPN's NFL All Quarter Century Team includes, omits some notable Arizona Cardinals players
ESPN's NFL All Quarter Century Team includes, omits some notable Arizona Cardinals players ESPN put together an All Quarter Century Team for the NFL. See what Cardinals players made it and who got snubbed. As we are in the dead of the offseason and there is almost nothing happening in the NFL until late July, now we get lists and rankings. ESPN put together an All Quarter Century Team for the NFL, constructing a 53-man roster with the best players of the last 25 years. The roster is sprinkled with a bunch of Arizona Cardinals players, some who played for Arizona at the end of their careers and others who were longtime Cardinals. Arizona Cardinals connections to NFL All Quarter Century Team G Alan Faneca: The Hall of Famer played his final NFL season with the Cardinals in 2010. He deserves a spot. We can claim him. DT Calais Campbell: This is a cool pick. Not only did he get drafted by the Cardinals and play nine seasons for them, he is back for his 18th season. While he only had probably two elite seasons, his consistent production over nearly two decades is something you can't ignore. DE J.J. Watt: Watt ended his career with the Cardinals and had 12.5 sacks in his final season. He only was one of the best defensive players in the NFL when he played. He's an obvious selection. CB Patrick Peterson: Some Cardinals fans remember his trade request, PED suspension and his badmouthing of former general manager Steve Keim more than the absolute dominance for his first eight NFL seasons. It is cool he makes the list. Cardinals snubs While it is hard to put everyone, there is one very noticeable absence. WR Larry Fitzgerald: You see Randy Moss, Terrell Owens, Calvin Johnson, Julio Jones, Justin Jefferson and Marvin Harrison Sr. and you get it, as all those players at their peak were probably better than Fitzgerald's peak. But if Calais Campbell can make it, Fitzgerald probably deserves a spot on this roster.
