Bay Area Braces for Dawn Blood Moon Total Eclipse

A total lunar eclipse, known as a blood moon, will grace California’s pre-dawn skies with partial viewing starting at 1:50 a.m., total eclipse from 3:05 to 4:03 a.m., ending around 5:17 a.m. The Chabot Space and Science Center in Oakland hosts a public viewing with telescopes from 1 a.m. to 5 a.m.; tickets are $15 adults, $7 kids (free for members). You don’t need special gear—binoculars help, but aren’t required; NASA advises tripod-based long-exposure photos. The Moon’s red hue comes from sunlight filtered by Earth’s atmosphere; partly cloudy skies shouldn’t ruin the view. This is the last similar eclipse visible in the Bay Area until Oct. 8, 2033, and scientists caution against astrology claims about the event.

Bay Area retiree loses $500K to a romance scam tied to crypto hype

A San Francisco retiree wired more than $500,000 to a woman he met online after months of romance, believing they’d start a new life together. The scam, a so-called pig-butchering scheme leveraging crypto promises, led funds to overseas accounts in Malaysia and Vietnam. Despite repeated warnings from family and friends and alerts to authorities, the victim pressed on, later realizing the supposed multi-million crypto stash required a $25,000 unlock fee and that he’d been scammed. The case highlights how persistent online romance scams can drain life savings even in the face of clear red flags.

Bay Area woman’s 'Marry Me' billboards finally land a date, at a steep price

A 42-year-old California woman, Lisa Catalano, spent thousands advertising a 'Marry Me' dating campaign with billboards and taxi toppers along Highway 101 after frustrations with dating apps, drawing more than 4,000 applications. She manually whittled the pool to about 50, then 20 and finally five first dates; for Valentine’s Day she went out with a man she’d been seeing for about a month. She requires NDAs to protect both herself and the dates, and she built much of the campaign herself, including the website and promotional materials. The venture cost thousands and attracted online criticism, but Catalano says she’s enjoyed the process and remains hopeful about finding a true match.

California’s booming GDP contrasts with a weak job market

Despite a $4.22 trillion economy, California’s job market weakened in 2025, ranking 37th for job growth after a 0.1% decline (about 11,200 jobs lost). The Bay Area dragged overall growth, with private-sector cuts outpacing government hires, and December 2025 unemployment at 5.5%, the worst in the nation. Nationally, jobs grew 0.4%. Experts cite high hiring costs and regulatory barriers, urging reforms to restore hiring competitiveness.
