Happy Pi Day...
And beautiful Blood Red Moon pictures
March 14th (3.14) is Pi day and all around the world mathematicians are celebrating this compelling and mysterious constant of Nature.
Pi appears in equations describing the orbits of planets, the colors of auroras, the structure of DNA. It's everywhere.
Humans have been struggling to calculate Pi for thousands of years. Divide the circumference of a circle by its diameter; the ratio is Pi. Always…
Sounds simple, but the devil is in the digits. While the value of Pi is finite (a smidgen more than 3), the decimal number is infinitely long:

Supercomputers have succeeded in calculating more than 105 trillion digits and they're still crunching….
The weirdest way to compute : throw frozen hot dogs on the floor. Party time!

My 12- and 15-year-old grandsons, who are cousins, have been competing to see who can memorize the most digits of Pi. Not sure how many they know right now, but it's an impressively long list. Those two handsome boys are quite a bit smarter than the average bear, on many levels! Happy Pi Day to Austin and Trey! (Boomers are probably the only ones who know which bear I'm talking about - lol)
Not Pi day here in the UK, we do dates properly 14th March 🤣
