A super blue moon will happen on Wednesday evening and won't be seen again until 2037! 🌕 It's the second full moon of the month, which is also known as a blue moon. It’s also a supermoon, a phenomenon that happens when the moon appears larger and brighter than normal. Hence the reason it's called a super blue moon. 🌌 Thanks to mostly clear skies in the forecast, you’re very likely to see the moon from anywhere in Arizona. Even better, you won’t need to break out a telescope or some binoculars. The moon will rise in the early evening on Wednesday at approximately 7:09 p.m., reaching its highest point in the sky at 12:17 a.m. Visit phoenixnewtimes.com for more information or tap the link in our bio. 🔗 ✍️: @leathermanbenjamin 📸: Melanie Magdalena/Unsplash . #phoenixnewtimes #phoenixnews #supermoon2023 #supermoon #bluemoon #superbluemoon #arizonasky

If you had plans to attend @50cent’s concert on Tuesday night at @talkingstickamp in Phoenix, better hold onto your tickets. The famed G-Unti rapper postponed his gig at the outdoor venue, which was a stop of his Final Lap tour, citing the Valley’s extreme summertime temperatures as the cause. He announced the news on Monday via X (formerly Twitter) and promised to return to the Valley for a makeup date for the show. “Due to extreme heat, the show tomorrow in Phoenix, AZ is being postponed,” 50 Cent wrote. “I’ll be back in Arizona soon! 116 degrees is dangerous for everyone.” Read the full story by @leathermanbenjamin at phoenixnewtimes.com or tap the link in our bio. 🔗 📸: Gwendolyn Lee/CC BY-SA 2.0/Flickr . #phoenixnewtimes #phoenixnews #50cent #50centconcert #arizonamusic #arizonanews #azheat #arizona

Local professional muralist Isaac Caruso, who has painted works for clients ranging from APS to Z’Tejas, has published a children’s book showcasing 56 murals he painted in 24 communities throughout Arizona over four years. 🎨It’s the first children’s book ever to be illustrated with photos of murals. The idea for "Sam and Sara," a book about the transformative power of daydreaming and imagination, had been in the works for more than a decade. But it took the pause of the pandemic to give Caruso time to travel and create. 📚The inspiration came from his own experience with Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD). Although Caruso got specialized attention in gifted classes, he says, “Teachers didn’t appreciate my learning style, how energetic I was, how independent I was in the classroom.” Read the full story by @gerikoeppel at phoenixnewtimes.com or tap the link in our bio for more. 🔗 📷: @isaac.caruso . #phoenixnewtimes #phoenixaz #localart #phoenixart #arizonaart #arizonamural #childrensbook
