We've since had a flood, and much more rain is forecast. Perhaps we should blame the eclipse.

*whew* thanks for explaining, Spaw. Eclipses ARE quite boring for an 11-yr old!

I thought maybe you were in league with those Lune-y-tune "scientists" who were advocating nuking the Moon right out of the firmament a few years ago. They claimed that blasting "her" to bits would improve climate conditions, if I'm remembering correctly.

Yeah, right. Sounds like Udder Moooonacy to me.

Looking through these beautiful photos of the eclipsed moon reminds me of a problem we encountered earlier this year while creating the cover for my CD "Up and Over the Moon!". Photos of the moon are often upside-down or turned left-to-right, because of the way the camera or telescope sees and records the image. The CD cover needed to have the correct 'live' image of the moon, so I asked a friend of mine, an amateur astronomer, for his scientific opinion. I asked him if my artist's depiction of the moon seemed to be upright, or was it tilted or upside down or possibly even inverted? It turned out to be a more difficult question for him to answer than I'd anticipated...

"You have a bunny jumping over a house and casting a shadow on the face of the moon. This indicates that the bunny has jumped high enough to interpolate itself between the sun and the moon. The dimensions of the shadow suggest that the bunny would have to be approximately one-half the size of the earth, which (assuming that the bunny was mostly made of water) would render it approximately equivalent to the mass of the moon, at least on the same order of magnitude. An object of those dimensions placed somewhere in near-earth orbit would cause massive tidal disruptions on earth and the possible perturbation of the moon's orientation, explaining any apparent discrepancy between current terrestrial observations and the depiction on the CD cover. It also implies that any astronaut who happened to be there at the time would see an eclipse of the sun, caused by the occultation of a giant rabbit.

In this case, I tend to think that you could claim artistic licence. I conclude that the artwork should bother no one.

My real problem with it is that it's supposed to be a COW, for heaven's sake!" (Michael Bolton)

I drove home *very* slowly from my rehearsal - because the moon kept gretting smaller and smaller - Did see it at totality.

What I had forgotten (and I don't know if other people see this) is the optical illusion that there is a solid dark disk sliding over the moon!

"It was quite high in the sky so there was no hint of red.

That's not how it works. The red/brown colour when the moon is eclipsed is because it's still getting some light from the sun shining through the earth's atmosphere, and that's red light for the same reason we get red light at sunset. The higher in the sky the more noticeable the effect would have been, if anything.

If you saw the full eclipse - ie when the crescent of light had gone, then if you didn't see the whole moon as a brownish or reddish disc, that would have been because there was some cloud that was masking it, because there is not much light involved. Or it might have been the "light pollution" from street lights and city lights and so forth.

What we in England wouldn't have got, and what some other people might have, is the way that when the moon is blotted out, all the fainter stars, that had been masked by its light, suddenly pop out into view. But the "light pollution" does for that.

I didn't know about the eclipse until last night when I heard something about on A Prairie Home Companion. Completely by coincidence, a series of events and choices I had made that day had led me to be driving out in the country, with winter coat, hat and gloves, and with a good pair of binoculars in the car.

I was able to watch with such a good view until it got cloudy just at totality. Also there were searchlights coming from somewhere, which made it rather weird until I figured out what they were.

What a thrill. I had seen the 1970 total solar eclipse in Virginia also. I was student teaching in New York, and my father, an aeronautical engineer, picked me up, picked up my mother at home in Philadelphia and we all drove down to Chincoteague and Wallops Island, where NASA was doing experiments.

A few years later we had a partial solar eclipse and someone showed me that if you look on the ground under a tree, all the leaves will make patterns that reflect the state of totality, so that what you would normally see (and never notice) as hundreds of bright dots, becomes hundreds of crescents.

If I didn't know itv was an eclipse I would have thought it was just cloud over the face of the moon. This was about 1.30am in London, the clouds cleared just enough to see the moon but the total eclipse was already over. It was quite high in the sky so there was no hint of red.

katlaughing--I'm no expert, but seem to recall that a lunar eclipse is always accompanied by a solar eclipse two weeks later--lunar eclipse happen at the full moon (obviously!), solar eclipse at the new moon. We have 2-3 eclipse cycles each year, though we only occassionally see them at totality at any given location.

The moon was just magnificent here last night, the wind arranging the clouds into intriguing pictures and "veils". I watched for a long time, but konked out before the eclipse started -- AARRRGGGHHHH -- (the Full Moon'll do that to me sometimes!) But this morning, standing in my snowy backyard watching the sunrise and the last of the stars flicker away, there is such a feeling of peace and contentment around here it's almost tangible!

"Harmonic Concordance" indeed. Maybe those new-age astrologers are right after all!   Let's hope so ...

Here's a clip from the Daily Telegraph:


"Total eclipse of Moon tonight
By Roger Highfield, Science Editor
(Filed: 08/11/2003)


A total eclipse of the moon will be visible tonight, reaching a ruddy climax in the early hours tomorrow, if the weather is clear.
Earth's shadow will begin to creep over the Moon at about 11.30pm.
The total phase of the eclipse will be unusually brief, lasting only 25 minutes (between 1.06am and 1.31am). It will all be over by 3.05am."

Chiron is an asteroid/slow moving object/comet, as I recall. Between Jupiter and Saturn maybe? Or Saturn and Uranus?

Here is a NASA page on it:

Well, I fir one, am totally psyched.... I love eclipses... Yeah, I rember one back in '69 and a bucnh of us piled into my old Volkwagen in Richmond and went to Virginia Beach where it was 'sposed to be like %100, 'er real close to it.... This was a solar eclipse but it don't matter....

Well we got down there in spite of my poor VeeDub's 4th gear poppin' out every 10 minutes and were on the beach with plenty o' time to spare and so, like all good hippies, figgured that a little Mr. Natural would certainly enhance the experience....

We was set up just a hundred feet from some family who we're experiencin' no Mr. Natural but had two younginz who knew everything about everything, includin' the eclipse... Well, these two kids come on down to where we were on the beach an' started tellin' us stuff that we didn't have a clue about an' set us up with boxes with pin holes an' all that.... And then they started talkin' 'bout "trails". Hmmmmmm. Like we was trippin' and these two kids talkin' 'bout "trails"?

Okay, I later lernt that them trails were like lookin' at yer feet during the eclipse and it looiks like it would look if you were standin' in a few inches of water... 'cept there was no water! Hmmmm? Now this is real bad when a couple of 11 year olds is tryin' to explanerate this to ya' an' all you can say is "Far out, kid..."

Then the eclipse begins and all these things that the kids said were gonna happen started happenin' and it was so cool. Well, when that trails thing started, it kinda freeked mw, but, hey, I had a couple of 11 year olds hangin' tough and makin' sure that I didn't get too wierded out...

Thank God fir eclipses and 11 year olds....

if I go Ohhhh, when everyone else is going ooommmmm, will that spoil the cosomological convergence?-or close the major interdimensional gateway?

If it (ushering in a new activation of energy
upon the Earth). .don't happen, I will take full blame.

Info on this weekend's amazing event...



On November 8, 2003 at 8:13 pm (NY Time; 5:13 pm west
coast time) we will have the opportunity to sound
together and anchor in new interdimensional energies
at a powerful and climactic moment in the Earth's
history. It is our great pleasure to co create with
you PROJECT OM, a Webcast on World Puja
Love to assist in anchoring these new energies for
personal and planetary healing and transformation.

At 8:13 PM (New York Time) on November 8, 2003, a
geometrically perfect six sided (Star of David)
configuration will appear in the sky, linking and
balancing the energies of six astrological bodies; the
Sun, Jupiter, Mars, Saturn, Chiron and the Moon. In
addition, there will be an eclipse of the full moon at
this time. The interaction of this significant
planetary alignment at the moment of the eclipse
combines to produce a powerful alchemical
transformation offering the opportunity for both
personal and planetary shifts in consciousness. The
name that has been given to this particular energetic
window of time is the Harmonic Concordance. It goes
from November 5th through the 11th with the peak at
8:13 PM on November 8th!

    This Grand Sextile astrological configuration,
accompanying a total lunar eclipse, has never before
occurred in recorded history. This is an immensely
powerful vibrational activation that many throughout
the planet see as a major interdimensional gateway
fulfilling ancient prophecies from different
traditions and ushering in a new activation of energy
upon the Earth. .

Sound is an extraordinarily powerful vehicle for
creating frequency shifts and raising planetary
consciousness. By simultaneously toning together a
Planetary Healing Sound at 8:13 PM (NY Time) on Nov. 8, 2003, we can create a
coherent wave form that will assist the already
manifesting transformational energy of the cosmos. For
this reason, we are working in conjunction with World
Puja to use the Internet to connect people throughout
the planet through Sound, Light and Love.


    The Schedule for Project Om is as follows:

    8:00 The Harmonic Concordance Webcast begins on
World Puja. Information about Project Om is shared.

    8:05 We begin preliminary breathing and sounding
exercises to clear and attune ourselves.

    8:11 We begin to sound a rolling "Om", projecting
this sound to assist in planetary activation for this
new energy. We will be sounding as the Lunar Eclipse
begins at 8:13

    8:22 We finish making sound and now meditate in
this energy

    8:30 We conclude our Webcast.

    Because of the enormity of this cosmological
event, the Harmonic Concordance
comparing to the Harmonic Convergence and the 11:11,
there are literally thousands of websites with
differing information about this important time.
There are also events occurring throughout the world
to help usher in this new energy. There are many
perspectives and belief systems available with varying
agendas attached to them. Because of this, we do not
feel it necessary to provide more information, except
to say that projecting Light & Love through Sound
together at 8:13 PM NY Time on November 8, 2003 will
be particularly beneficial for personal and planetary
consciousness activation.
   
    Please join us! And if possible, please send this
email to others. There are prophecies that say that if
144,000 sound together, a new era of consciousness may
be issued in. Perhaps this is the time!

Here's a nice link. It should be visible in the Americas, Europe, Africa and cAsia. It starts at 6 pm Mudcat time and is full between 8 and 8:30 pm Mudcat time. (That would be 11 and 1 - 1:30 on Sunday morning GMT)

Well, Mars. the harbinger of war and bloodshed, is certainly having his little way with us, isn't he? Maybe it's really portentous and we should be quaking and stuff...

Here in southeast Alaska, assuming it's clear enough, (it snowed last night) we'll see it right after sunset tomorrow, about 4:00. Since I experienced a total solar eclipse in the early '80s, no other eclipse has caused anything close to the awe I felt then. But it will be interesting to see the moon darken. It's supposed to be tinged red here.

(As anyone else noted the superstition-loaded symbols of the last year or so? Mars, the vividness of the aurora borealis, red moon... Others, I'm sure. Don't get me wrong- I see no connection with those kinds of things and potential world events- on the other hand, the older I get the more clearly I realize that I don' know nuffin.)

just got an e-mail about this from a friend - hard to believe I hadn't heard it was happening

Hoping for clear weather - as it will begin and may even reach totality as I drive home from a rehearsal Saturday night...
