MOON X

In the year of Our Presence Across Light, the cornerstone is set. A pilgrim's coin goes into the vault and the name into the ledger, every coin counted and every mark recorded. Travel with only a sealed letter, while the Templars keep the road and the record. At journey's end the pilgrim hands over the letter and receives what was left behind. Guardianship, not ownership 🏁 AF & AM 🏴‍☠️ K∴T∴S∴K∴L33 🏴 32°

Good morning. From the station above the Indian Ocean, green aurora curtains rise into a thin red airglow under a starfield. Start today under a quiet sky. opal.moonx.llc #Moon #Opal #OpalSeed

The Crab Nebula, remnant of the 1054 supernova: a Hubble mosaic of 24 exposures, orange filaments around a blue pulsar-powered glow, 6,500 light-years away in Taurus. Rest easy tonight. Good night. #Moon #Opal

Miravet, Catalonia. In 1153 the Templars received this cliff-top castle above the Ebro. They held it as a major commandery and were among the last to surrender, in 1308. A Stewardship Seat is a post held in trust. opal.moonx.llc #Moon #Opal #StewardshipSeats

Good morning. April 2026: flying past the Moon's far side, the Artemis II crew watched Earth set over the curved limb, a thin blue crescent above Orientale. Have a bright start today. opal.moonx.llc #Moon #Opal #OpalSeed

Saturn and its rings in natural color, stitched from 126 Cassini frames taken in October 2004. This month Saturn rides the evening sky, a steady pale-gold light you can find without a telescope. Rest easy tonight. Good night. #Moon #Opal

Perugia, Italy. In San Bevignate, the Templars' church, a late-1200s fresco shows Templars clashing with Saracen horsemen, likely at Nablus in 1242. Few such paintings survive. A Stewardship Seat is a duty held for others. opal.moonx.llc #Moon #Opal #StewardshipSeats

Good morning. April 2026: flying past the Moon, the Artemis II crew watched the line between night and day. They called it "anything but a straight line," with crater rims lit like islands in the dark. Have a bright start today. opal.moonx.llc #Moon #Opal #OpalSeed

The Andromeda Galaxy in ultraviolet from NASA's GALEX: blue rings of young stars around a golden core, 2.5 million light-years away. From a dark spot on a November night you can see it by eye as a soft smudge. Sleep well. Good night. #Moon #Opal

Tomar, Portugal. In 1160 Gualdim Pais, Templar master in Portugal, began a castle here, and the knights raised its round church, the Charola. Its walls held off a siege in 1190. A Stewardship Seat is a post held in trust. opal.moonx.llc #Moon #Opal #StewardshipSeats

Good morning. July 2015: from a million miles out, NASA's DSCOVR camera watched the Moon's far side, the face we never see from home, glide across the sunlit Earth. Some days begin with a brand-new view. Hope yours does. opal.moonx.llc #Moon #Opal #OpalSeed

The Pleiades, the Seven Sisters, seen in infrared by Spitzer: young stars wrapped in drifting dust. They ride high on November nights, so look up if your sky is clear. Then rest well. Good night. #Moon #Opal

Around 1119 Hugues de Payens of Champagne and a few knights pledged in Jerusalem to guard pilgrims on the road. They became the Knights Templar, and he their first Grand Master. A Stewardship Seat is a post kept for others. opal.moonx.llc #Moon #Opal #StewardshipSeats

Good morning. April 1972: John Young leaps off the lunar dust to salute the flag at Descartes on Apollo 16. One-sixth gravity, a whole heart. Start this Monday with a little lift in your step. opal.moonx.llc #Moon #Opal #OpalSeed
