In some parts of the world, when people look up into the night sky, they don’t see a “man” in the moon. In the shadows and sun’s reflections they find the image of a rabbit. Something to look for as we leap into the Year of the Rabbit starting Sunday, Jan. 22. Got an event we should know about? Reach out to features@abqjournal.com.
