THE HUNTER'S MOON: There's a full Moon tonight, and it has a special name: The Hunter's Moon. It gets its name from Native American hunters who tracked their prey by autumn moonlight, stockpiling food for the winter ahead. Browse: Photo Gallery

HUNTER'S MOONBOW: A rainbow at night? Believe it. The Hunter's Moon created one over in the West Elk Mountains of Colorado:

WORLD SERIES SPACE BASEBALL: The Milwaukee Brewers are in the World series. Here's a great gift for a fan: The Brewers World Series Space Baseball. It flew to the edge of space on Oct. 16, 2026, the day after they swept the L.A. Dodgers:

You can have it for $109.95. Launched onboard a cosmic ray research balloon, it flew 115,344 feet high--a real home run. It comes in the same acrylic cube that protected it during three hours at the top of Earth's atmosphere. You will also receive a greeting card showing the baseball in flight.

The students of Earth to Sky Calculus are selling space baseballs to pay the helium bill for their cosmic ray ballooning program. And don't worry -- Tampa's baseball is coming soon!
