NASA | Lunar Eclipse Essentials

Bay Area residents will be able to watch one of the moon’s most remarkable displays late on the night of April 14 and early, early on the morning of April 15 when the shadow of Earth crosses the moon in a total lunar eclipse. A cosmic dance between Earth, sun and moon, this total lunar eclipse will be the first in three years to be visible here, weather permitting.
What Is a Total Lunar Eclipse?

During a total lunar eclipse, Earth passes exactly between the full moon and the sun. As the celestial bodies move, the full moon enters Earth’s shadow until it is completely covered.
You may wonder, since the moon is constantly orbiting around the Earth, why there isn’t a lunar eclipse every month.
“It turns out the orbit of the moon is tilted relative to the orbit of the Earth around the sun so it doesn’t happen regularly,” says Andrew Fraknoi, Astronomy Department Chair at Foothill College. “Only when the two orbits cross—the orbit of the moon around the Earth and the orbit of the Earth around the sun—can you have an eclipse.”
For a visualization of what will be happening in space, check out this animated video from NASA, explaining the movements of celestial bodies during the total lunar eclipse on June 15, 2011.
  • When to watch: The eclipse starts at 10:58 p.m. PST. At 12:07 a.m. the total eclipse phase begins. Earth will block the sun completely until 1:25 a.m., and then the moon travels through the semi-shadow until 2:33 a.m.
  • Where to watch: Just go outside. You can see the eclipse from wherever you can usually see the moon.

3-year-old Mateo Makes His Case for Cupcakes: "Linda, honey,


2:30am at a 7-11 near Disney World - 1987

One night back in August 1987 after a party at Disney's Vista Village (before Vista Way), I went out to the 7-11 with a video camera and a couple friends to see what people purchase at 2:30am. In this particular video, my buddy Ken is behind the camera. I'm the guy with the Orange Slurpee. Where are the stars of my videos now?: http://youtu.be/S7VHim2IIFs

The Mamas and The Papas - California Dreaming HQ / HD


Favorite Classic.......

(Lyrics)
All the leaves are brown and the sky is grey
I've been for a walk on a winters day
I'd be safe and warm if I was in L.A.
California dreamin', on such a winters day.

Stepped into a church I passed along the way
Well, I get down on my knees and I pretend to pray.
You know the preacher likes the cold
He knows I'm gonna stay.
California, California dreamin', on such a winters day.

All the leaves are brown and the sky is grey
I've been for a walk on a winters day
I I didn't tell her I could love today
California, California dreamin', on such a winters day.

All the leaves are brown ...
