 Get Ready for the Solstice Lunar Eclipse! The first total lunar eclipse in two years will grace the sky the night of Monday, Dec. 20, and we want you to be there. Sure, it’s a school night, but with the winter solstice and a new year upon us, what better time to gather your family and friends to see the moon in a new light? At NASA, we’re pretty excited for this year’s lunar eclipse, so we’re offering a number of features and activities for astronomy buffs and moon-gazers alike. To learn about the science behind eclipses, visit NASA’s Eclipse page, where Mr. Eclipse provides information about viewing the eclipse from all over the United States.

Yes! Jet, brilliant minds have something in common
 I came here just now to post this:Tonight's the Night!!!  ---------- Post added at 10:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:26 PM ---------- Monday, December 20 •Total eclipse of the Moon late tonight, visible from all of North and Central America. The partial phase begins 1:33 a.m. Tuesday morning EST, total eclipse runs from 2:41 to 3:53 a.m. EST, partial eclipse ends at 5:01 a.m. EST. For our part of the world the Moon will be very high in the sky; in fact from the American Southwest and Southern California it will be near the zenith. The Moon will be centered between the bright constellations Orion, Auriga, Gemini, and Taurus. Read all about it: A Sky-High Lunar Eclipse. Includes a map of the eclipse's visibility worldwide. P.S.: Cloudy? Here's a webcast! Coca-Cola Space Science Center Webcast Tuesday, December 21 •This is the longest night of the year in the Northern Hemisphere; winter begins at the solstice, 6:38 p.m. EST. Gather 'round the fire. In the Southern Hemisphere it's the shortest night of the year and the start of summer; dance in Midsummer's Night merriment. Wednesday, December 22 •In early evening at this time of year, Cassiopeia floats as high in the north as it ever appears. It's loaded with telescopic sights to seek out. Some lesser-known ones are featured in Sue French's Deep-Sky Wonders column in the December Sky & Telescope, page 66. |

Initially I had my hopes up, but eventually Moon admitted that it was already involved with some guy named Out-There-In-The-Shed ("Shed" for short), who proclaimed true love. I'm not sure if it's reciprocal love or just feeling sorry for the guy. I told Moon I have to move on with my life, and expressed my most sincere wishes for eternal happiness for both of them.

Save it since we only have about 6 quarts of it. In one day, our blood travels nearly 12,000 miles while our hearts beat around 35 million times per year, pumping a million barrels of blood during an average lifetime. For some reason I doubt we're average.

Edified? Quite simply fied,
as the noises we can make assure, with tongues much too slippery. (I used mine yesterday at the library to tell the teenage girls to stop using the f-word so loudly. ...I'd like to git some head.)

(One divergence, and then I'll get back to the recollectable quotables...)
I made this this morning: "discord + cholera + colours"

Whatever I said,
that was simply abusive, at least in the sounds. I liked the pictures in that they looked like sea-life competing for reproductive space.

Know The Rolling Stones?
When I think about that river, that's how long it takes. I turned off "The Yule Log" to listen to equally beautiful noise.
