BLOOD MOON – A “blood moon” is seen behind the Lutheran Church crosses late Thursday during a cloudless night. The rare total lunar eclipse, which was visible to half the globe, is caused by the alignment of the earth, sun and full moon. The last total lunar eclipse visible in the United States was in 2022. The next lunar eclipse will be in 2026. (Sentinel Photo by James Poulson)

Thanks to the generosity and expertise of the Central Council of Tlingit and Haida Indian Tribes of Alaska broadband department, Tidal Network; Christopher Cropley, director of Tidal Network; and Luke Johnson, Tidal Network technician, SitkaSentinel.com is again being updated. Tidal Network has been working tirelessly to install Starlink satellite equipment for critical institutions, including the Sentinel, following the scheduled maintenance of GCI’s fiberoptic cable starting March, 13th. CCTHITA’s public-spirited response to the outage is inspiring.
