In the mid-1970s, Good Timesmade a star of actor/comedian Jimmy 'JJ'/'Dynomite' Walker. However, behind the scenes, the tension between the stars was relatively challenging. According to what Jimmie Walker once relayed, most of the show's cast rarely had any interaction behind the camera. Walker didn't recall having any conversations with actress Esther Rolle, who played his TV mother, Florida Evans, or actor John Amos, who played James Evans, his TV mother.

The Perseids peak on Sunday night, August 11-12 and just might be joined by a colorful display of northern lights. On Sunday night, August 11-12, the annual Perseid blast will crest to a peak. Dozens of meteors will flash across the sky per hour especially after midnight, when the crescent Moon sets and the shower's streaming point climbs high in the northeastern sky. That's not all. In what could be a spectacular two-fer, there's an excellent possibility that roughly the northern third of the U.S. will also experience a G2 geomagnetic storm with aurora visible as far south as New York, Idaho and northern Iowa. Aurora and Perseids at the same time? Now that would be exciting!

On August 19th, a full supermoon will illuminate NYC skies, marking the first of four consecutive full supermoons in 2024. Peak illumination will be at 2:26pm, with optimal visibility after sunset. A supermoon can be up to 30% brighter and 14% larger than a regular full moon due to its positioning at the moon's closest distance to Earth (perigee). While August's full supermoon will be 224,917 miles away, the closest will be in October at 222,055 miles. The moon's varying proximity to Earth is due to gravitational and tidal forces, causing its orbit to be non-circular. The next full supermoons in 2024 will occur on September 17th (Harvest Moon), October 17th, and November 15th.
