Whilst on the phone tonight I caught glimpses of the blood moon between crossing cloudscapes. It was both frustrating and at times dramatic and beautiful. I didn’t sit watching for the entire course of the lunar eclipse, but enjoyed what I saw. I hope other parts of Australia got a better view and I look forward to seeing some photo’s.
Update: Meg has some great photo’s up from Sydney – check them out!
I know, I Ooopsed earlier in the month, yet I found a good article about the Eclipse of the Moon on the ABC via newsvine tonight and I thought since I gave the wrong information earlier, I should give some correct stuff to counterbalance on the very day.
Full Moon Shooting Star
Last night I couldn’t sleep. It was a full moon, which I didn’t realise until I stepped outside hoping some almost fresh air would change my state of tossing and turning in bed. I saw a shooting star. I was quite astounded because I wasn’t expecting to see one on such a bright night. I was also delighted.
Upcoming Heavenly Event
Today I received an email as follows:
*Two moons on 27th August 2007*
*27th August; the day the Whole World is waiting for ……
Planet Mars will be the brightest in the night sky starting August. It will look as large as the full moon to the naked eye. This will cultivate on Aug. 27 when Mars comes within 34.65 Million miles of earth. Be sure to watch the sky on Aug. 27 12:30 am. It will look like the earth has 2 moons. The next time Mars may come this close is in 2287. Share this with your friends as NO ONE ALIVE TODAY will ever see it again.
Astrology Anyone?
Well that excited me no end. I’ll definitely be up for that one. I can’t find much info about any astrological implications of this event, but I will stay on the alert and let you know if I do. Any astrologers able to shine light on this one?
