07 Nov 03 - 04:29 PM (#1049842) Subject: RE: BS: Lunar Eclips - 08 NOv '03 From: Ebbie 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.) |

07 Nov 03 - 09:08 PM (#1049961) Subject: RE: BS: Lunar Eclipse - 08 Nov '03 From: open mike HAPPY HARMONIC CONCORDANCE! http://sfgate.com/columnists/morford/ FULL STORY at http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2003/04nov_lunareclipse2.htm?list105852 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 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 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 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! |

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.... Bobert |

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).

09 Nov 03 - 10:27 AM (#1050613) Subject: RE: BS: Lunar Eclipse - 08 Nov '03 From: LindaG 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. --Linda |

09 Nov 03 - 11:02 AM (#1050626) Subject: RE: BS: Lunar Eclipse - 08 Nov '03 From: McGrath of Harlow "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. |

10 Nov 03 - 10:42 AM (#1051079) Subject: RE: BS: Lunar Eclipse - 08 Nov '03 From: black walnut 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!"
