Insane shot of Super Red Moon over Sydney Opera House, Australia.😮

How's the Moon so big?

To achieve this surreal scale, an extreme telephoto lens (600mm+) was used from several kilometers across the water. This creates "lens compression," pulling the moon from the deep background and making it appear to tower directly over the architecture.

Months of waiting for the perfect lunar alignment and hours of scouting for the exact GPS coordinates led to this single, fleeting window of time. A study in patience and perspective, where the grand scale of the cosmos meets the height of human design.

The Federal Reserve announced a quarter percentage point rate cut today, the second cut this year. This brings the benchmark interest rate down to 3.75% to 4%. Today’s cut is thought to be motivated by the weakening labor market and softer inflation data than expected.

The Fed does not directly control mortgage rates, and yields on 10-year Treasury notes (which act as a barometer for mortgage rates) inched up 7 basis points following the Fed’s decision. Consequently, rates on the 30-year fixed mortgage increased 14 basis points today (a basis point is one hundredth of a percentage point).

The IRS never sends audits via e-mail.

Watch out for a scam email that may read, ‘Notification of IRS Audit & Investigation.’ The email may direct you to download a “secure” file (in some cases via sites like Cognito Forms) and submit documentation, but in fact the link leads to a fraudulent site that may steal your data or install malware.
