SELENE (Selenological and Engineering Explorer) (Ancient Greek: Σελήνη, moon), better known in Japan by its nickname Kaguya (かぐや, Kaguya), is the second Japanese lunar orbiter spacecraft. Produced by the Institute of Space and Astronautical Science and NASDA (both organizations that are now part of the Japan Aero Space Exploration Agency, or JAXA), the spacecraft was launched September 14,2007-wikiThere are two models, the first is a colored but simplified version while the second is un-colored and a little bit complicated.

About a month ago we were watching a bit of the lunar eclipse. It was pretty cool. A really clear night and we could see it from our living room window. It was nice to stay inside and see it since it was about 10 degrees outside. Mum took a quick pic from our little digital camera - here's what we saw...We see that Astromart.com, a site for amateur and advanced star-gazers and one of the leading portals for astronomy news, classified ads and telescope reviews, has some awesome telescopes for sale. It sure would have been cool if we could have seen it from a telescope - see it more close up!

Only help desk seems me good and they would definitely won some awards for this but the worst services i have faced, like Indian hosting companies.So dont trust Lunar pages, its a panic for those who have more than 100 clicks perday on their site.

February 20, 2008 marked a special day for Washington residents. It was a cool and clear night with the stars and other celestial objects visible to looked at with wonder and amazement. After getting off work I made it the evening plan to pull out the telescope and binocular to gaze at a wild wonder [...]

One great thing about living on a small island with little ambient light is that when something like an eclipse occurs you can really see it! I took these photos with my new Blackberry Curve 8320 and emailed them to my computer.First, the moon was full and bright enough to form shadows and require no flashlight for my walk home from the spa. This was taken at 9:02pm.By 9:30pm we could already see the eclipse beginning.At 10pm only a bit of the moon is still lit (but isn't it cool how it is so clear that you can still see the outline of the entire orb?).By 10:02pm, just before I went to bed, only the tiniest sliver of the light remains. Too cool!Tags: Photographs, Turks and Caicos, Parrot Cay, Caribbean, lunar eclipse 2008, lynda lippin

Lastimosamente en Costa Rica, el pasado 20 de Febrero estuvo muy nublado en muchos lugares como para observar el eclipse lunar, sin embargo un tipo en Estados Unidos logró captar el eclipse por completo y grabarlo en video . Para todos aquellos que no lo pudimos ver bien aquí está. Por cierto, mis respetos a este señor... pues yo personalmente he intentado muchísimas veces de fotografiar la luna y nunca quedo bien, pues los niveles de luz y de contraste son muy difíciles de hayar bien para que la fotografía salga nítida y bien lograda, simplemente bello. Por cierto, en algunas partes de Costa Rica sí se pudo ver el eclipse, aquí les dejo un video reportaje para nacion.com.

The other night, Wednesday, Mum and I took in a bit of the lunar eclipse. It was pretty cool. A really clear night and we could see it from our living room window. Nice since it was about 10 degrees outside. Mum took a quick pic from our little digital camera - here's what we saw ...After a little while it turned red kind of like this...this isn't Mum's pic, but you get the idea...Pretty cool! Next total Lunar Eclipse? December 21, 2010, be sure and mark your calendars! Anyone else out howling at the Moon on Wednesday/Thursday?

I am sure everyone by now has covered the Lunar Eclipse on February 20, 2008, so guess what life moves on and everyone forgets or may be some do, lol. Therefore, I thought I wait couple of days, and post my results to remind you again, and let you know that next one on December 20, 2010 - cold one again. BTW, the 2010 year feels like science fiction year.Full Moon, Aurora, Ontario, Canada, Feb 20, 2008, 06:18 PM EST However, here are my adventure with the moon on February 20, 2008. To start, I was killing myself for not bring my camera with me when driving home from work. The moon on the horizon was beautiful, especially being against the light blue sky. By the time I got home, it was high up in the sky, but guess what, I was able to take some full moon photos and partial eclipse from my b

In case you missed it, here are some highlights of the total lunar eclipse tonight.As the umbral shadow progressed and the night got darker, colder, it was more difficult to get good shots because a) I was shaking and b) the camera was so cold, the zoom froze up. At the full eclipse point, I managed to capture the colors changing from red to violet to blue and finally to a neutral. These photos are completely unadulterated. Next full eclipse is in 2010.

The moon is seen passing through the shadow of the earth as it is photographed in Foxboro Wednesday Feb. 20, 2008. A total lunar eclipse occurs when the full moon passes intoEarth's shadow and is blocked from the sun's rays that normally illuminate it. During an eclipse, the sun, Earth and moon line up, leaving a darkened moon visible to observers onthe night side of the planet. This is the last total lunar eclipse until Dec. 20, 2010. This eclipse occurred on a crystal clear night and was made extra special by appearances by the planet Saturn and Regulus, the brightest star in the constellation Leo.Click here to visit this galleryClick here to visit www.GillisPhotos.com

Most everyone probably knows about the lunar eclipse last night. Tony let me borrow his camera to take a picture last night. His lens isn't exactly top choice for taking pictures of things that far away (if you want better star type stuff, go to Blackholes and Astrostuff). But I tried my luck and was pleasantly surprised. The picture is really small, but it doesn't look too bad for a little bitty lens not intended for taking pictures of the moon.

Anyone catch last night’s Total Lunar Eclipse?

Aristotle used the shape of the Earth's shadow on the moon to argue that the Earth is round.According to Max Frisch in his novel Homo Faber, the lunar eclipse is also a sign that you're going to be severely punished by the powers that be for sleeping with your own daughter, you weirdo.According to the above cited article, the eclipse begins at 7:01 PM Mountain Time.

I was quite sick of the steamboat for it happened more than just once each year, and every time I had to feast on it for numerous continuous days.My plan to comb down the pasar malam at Chinatown for cheap goodies was killed once again. It was quite stupid to go down early and thus I did not join my family members earlier. I went down at 3am but unfortunately, met them at the junction. Both my brothers wanted to go home but my mum decided to tag on to me.I did not have much time and I would not want to waste any. I just wanted to speed up in all the crowded alleys and get whatever was cheap, in the shortest time. My pace was usually swift and far beyond your imagination, but this time, I knew I was ground

Today is the first day of the Year of mouse, and the weather is so cold in Hong Kong that has only 8°C. Maybe the readers of this blog are always facing such weather from time to time, or even colder, but to me, it's already freezing cold. If you have a good memory, you should remember that I was not in Hong Kong last Lunar New Year. Yes, I used the earning from Adsense and other monetization programs to subsidize my trip to Eastern Europe. I have been to Dresden and Berlin of Germany, Prague of Czech Republic and Vienna of Austria. You can refer to my post “Trip to Eastern Europe”.But this year, I need to stay in Hong Kong, not because I am not able to earn that much from Adsense, but due to the fact I need to work and only have four holidays. How poor I am. For the bright side, I ca

The Japanese restaurant I wanted to go to was closed but we saw that Home Plus was open so we decided to eat in the food court there. The food court has a McDonald's, KFC, Korean, Japanese and Chinese food. The Korean, Japanese and Chinese food are plastic models of the entrees in display cases.

From New York TimesBEIJING, Oct. 24 — With a regional space race heating up in Asia, China launched its first lunar probe into space today as the Communist Party moved a step closer to fulfilling its ambitions of one day reaching the moon.The Chang’e-1 satellite, named after a mythical Chinese goddess who flew to the moon, lifted off at 6:05 p.m. Officials and tourists watched the launching at a site in Sichuan Province, while state television provided coverage to the rest of the nation.The probe is expected to remain in orbit for a year, providing lunar satellite images and other information as China prepares to launch a space vehicle to the moon by 2012 and then send an astronaut in 2020. Within an hour of blastoff the probe’s solar panels had been activated, and space officials declared the launch a success.“The launch was very successful, and everything is proceeding just as planned,” Wu Ji, director of the Space Science and Applied Research Center, told Xinhua, China’s

Less than a month after launch from the small island of Tanegashima off the southern tip of Kyushu Island, southern Japan, the Lunar Explorer “KAGUYA” has already started to beam back images and video of the earth. This media jumps into the record books as not only the farthest footage of Earth taken from deep space over 110, 000 km away from earth but also the first footage from space in high definition. The satellite was confirmed to be in good health through telemetry data received at the Usuda station. [ Via - JAXA ]

So, Google are running a competition and offering a large sum of money as the prize (currently $30m) - the website is here. Great, that could keep the Abbey going for some time. I quite like the idea of this competition as it's somewhat more engaging than trying to launch a rocket into space - not that I'm saying that was easy or dull - it's just that there are a much wider array of skills required to not only get a rocket into space but land it on the moon, engage a rover, move it around, and gather telemetry. The official competition guidelines state: COMPETITION GUIDELINES: To win the Google Lunar X PRIZE, a team must successfully land a privately funded craft on the lunar surface and survive long enough to complete the mission goals of roaming about the lunar surface for at least 500 meters and sending a defined data package, called a “Mooncast”, back to Earth.

I heard about the lunar eclipse two hours before it happend, so I decided to make a little video for those that missed this amazing moment in time. I had the best view in town and was the only one on the rooftop for it!!

It seems that the Japanese government is planning to privatize the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) so that it will qualify and be in the running for Google and the X Foundations 30 million dollar worth of prizes for getting robotic rover on the Moon. Japan only last week launched a very publicized lunar orbiter from the small island of Tanegashima off the southern tip of Kyushu Island, southern Japan using the domestically developed H-2A rocket. I wonder if this will be official and how it will develop. Big thanks to Tori for pointing this out to me. [ Via - risingsunofnihon ]

I see this as a very positive development. Similar to the original Ansari X Prize which was a $10,000,000.00 prize for the first spaceship to launch twice in two weeks, this partnership of the X Prize Foundation and Google is offering a $30,000,000.00 prize for the first privately built robotic lander to reach the moon. I have included a video announcement of the new X-Prize below. ~RJH SpaceRef.com article link  Google Sponsors Lunar X PRIZE to Create a Space Race for a New GenerationThe X PRIZE Foundation and Google Inc. today announced the Google Lunar X PRIZE, a robotic race to the Moon to win a remarkable $30 million prize purse.

Google seems like having many interests. The company has just decided to put up a US$30 million cash for a large contest known as Google Lunar X PRIZE, which is also known as Moon 2.0 competition.

  Explanation: The Moon passed close to the center of Earth’s shadow on August 28th. Seen best by skywatchers in western North America, and the Pacific region, the resulting total lunar eclipse was a dark one, lasting about 90 minutes. In this telescopic image taken near mid totality from Yass, NSW Australia, the 85 kilometer wide ray crater Tycho lies near the top right of the shadowed lunar surface. Of course, even during a total lunar eclipse,the Moon is not completely dark. Instead the Moon remains visible during totality, reflecting reddened light filtering into the Earth’s shadow. The light comes from all the sunsets and sunrises, as seen from the lunar perspective, around the edges of a silhouetted Earth. originally at NASA.

Yesterday night's Lunar Eclipse taken by a friend of mine Leneah in Davao City. The image shows as it tries to cover initially the brightness of the moon from the Earth's shadow. Unlike here in Makati and Metro Manila area, the clouds covered the entire skies which killed the hopes of individuals who waited for the Lunar Eclipse.

En la madrugada de hoy los noctámbulos pudimos disfrutar del último espectáculo cósmico de la luna en este año. El Eclipse Lunar fue visible en toda Sudamérica, donde pudimos ver cómo nuestro satélite pasó del color blanco a anaranjado, por la combinación de atardeceres y amaneceres a nivel mundial. El acontecimiento comenzó a las 07:54 GMT (02:54 hora peruana) cuando la Tierra comenzó a ponerse entre el sol y la luna. A las 09:15 GMT (04:15 hora peruana) la luna empezó a cambiar de color y pasó del reflejo pálido de la luz del sol al rojo cuando, desde el punto de vista terrestre, se movió de arriba hacia abajo. A la hora 09:52 GMT (4:52 hora peruana) la luna se veía rojiza, como el crepúsculo de un día caluroso. La cobertura total de la sombra terrestre duró unos 90 minutos.

For those of you who missed the Lunar Eclipse this morning.  Here is an awesome photo I found on http://spaceweather.com/ If anyone else has any photos, you can post to the previous link.  Or share what time you were able to view the eclipse.

The amazing sight from behind the Harbour Bridge Australia IT shone a beautiful deep red in the sky last night as the sun, moon and earth aligned for a total lunar eclipse.

Yours truly stayed up all night to watch and make pictures of the Lunar eclipse. It was gorgeous! I took my 15×60 binoculars, Canon 20D camera with tripod and 300mm zoom image-stabilizing lens, and went out to the warm summer night. The eclipse began a little later then predicted. At 12:52am there was nothing but a dark blur over the upper-left side. So I went indoors for another 30 minutes. Good idea since sprinklers came on. I came back out with all the gear at around 1:30am and began to shoot pictures. You can see the entire album here: http://public.fotki.com/MaxiMovieBlog/lunar-eclipse/ including bad ones. I thought I’d include them too in case you want to learn from my mistakes. Feel free to leave your comments, but be nice! I was playing with the camera trying different settings and trying with or without ND filter and circular polarizer. In the beginning of the eclipse the moon was still very bright, and all pictures were not coming out well: the moon was a bright

Path of the Moon through Earth's umbral and penumbral shadowsduring the Total Lunar Eclipse of Aug. 28, 2007.(Pacific Daylight Time)A total eclipse of the Moon occurs during the early morning of Tuesday, August 28, 2007. The event is widely visible from the United States and Canada as well as South America, the Pacific Ocean, western Asia and Australia. During a total lunar eclipse, the Moon's disk can take on a dramatically colorful appearance from bright orange to blood red to dark brown and (rarely) very dark gray. An eclipse of the Moon can only take place at Full Moon, and only if the Moon passes through some portion of Earth's shadow. The shadow is actually composed of two cone-shaped parts, one nested inside the other. The outer shadow or penumbra is a zone where Earth blocks some (but not all) of the Sun's rays. In contrast, the inner shadow or umbra is a region where Earth blocks all direct sunlight from reaching the Moon.READ THE REST OF THE STORY

Now, I’m not as certified space mad as our resident space cadet (you know who you are), but I do find space entirely fascinating, mysterious and enthralling. It’s the whole ‘unexplored expanse’ thing that gets me. I still remember my dad (ever the adventurer) standing on the lawn with us in 1986 - I’d heaved my gumboots on to gaze skyward, neck aching, hoping to catch a glimpse of Haley’s Comet. To this day, I’m not sure I did actually see the comet (it might have been a smudgy star and it was a cloudy night), but it’s a great memory for what it’s worth. For those of you who share a curiosity about the universe, you’ll be rapt to hear that… A lunar eclipse will be visible from New Zealand on August 28th! A lunar eclipse is when the Earth passes between the sun and the moon. When this happens, the sun’s light can’t reach the moon’s surface and the moon enters the Earth’s shadow. Cool, eh? Keep you

Moonlight can provide a significant amount of illumination, depending on the particular phase.

Streetlights aren't really necessary when there's a full moon out, what with it bouncing all that sunlight down at us and everything. But your average streetlight isn't smart enough to know when it...

The Chinese space program plans on launching a lunar satellite later this yearThe ambitious Chinese space program plans to launch the Chang'e 1 orbiter in September -- the first of three steps towards having moon samples brought back to Earth. Assuming the Chang'e 1 is able to successfully orbit the moon, it will then be sent on a mission to land on one of several designated zones of the lunar surface. Officials hope Chang'e will send 3D images of the moon's surface back to Earth, along with studying lunar microwaves and estimating the thickness of soil on the moon's surface.Phase one of the mission is to launch the probe to orbit the moon, which will take place later this year; phase two is to land on the lunar surface to take samples of the lunar surface; in phase three, another orbiter will land and take lunar and soil samples before heading back to Earth.The moon rover mission would be launched in 2012, assuming everything else goes according to plan."The moon probe project is

Another great Spring 2007 collection was from South African designer Karen Ter Morshuizen for Lunar. You won't find clothes much dreamier or floaty than these. They look really pure. This brand has been around since the mid-90s, and is really quite natural-looking, with plenty of texture yet the colours are very simple and not at all busy. This makes it look luxurious and contemporary, without appearing too trendy (a good thing).

After being deprived of a decent Lunar New Year dinner for my first two years here in Singapore (I had to do the graveyard shift at the animal hospital, FOR TWO YEARS IN A ROW!!!), I finally had the chance to toss the yusheng when I joined my girlfriend's family's New Year's eve dinner. (",)No Chinese New Year feast is complete without the colorful yusheng. Literally means "raw fish," yusheng is a Chinese-style salad usually taken to usher the Lunar New Year as it symbolises abundance, prosperity and vigor. It usually consists of strips of raw fish (most commonly salmon), mixed with shredded vegetables and a variety of sauces and condiments, among other ingredients. It is a custom for families and friends to gather around the table and, on cue, proceeding to toss the shredded ingredients into the air, as high as they can, with chopsticks while saying auspicious words and phrases out loud to mark the start of a prosperous new year.What followed doesn't need much elaboration.

On March 3rd of this year 2007, there was a full lunar eclipse visible from the UK, and Northern Europe. This video shows the process of the moon being first covered and then revealed into full sunlight again. It was pretty spectacular and this guy has done a very good job of taking the video footage and editing it down to a short 3 minute YouTube clip. The whole thing started at about 10:30pm and went on until about 3am the next morning. Sometimes I think we forget how spectacular and beautiful nature can be, and this is proff of it once again. Even the fact or coincedence that the moon is exactly the right amount smaller than the sun relative to our position so that they fit perfectly is mindblowing.There have been alot of people asking about the music used, so to save you the trouble, it’s Samuel Barber’s ‘Adagio For Strings’ which has also been remixed by various DJs and used in ‘The Matrix’ films.

For those readers who wrote in to complain that they missed the lunar eclipse on account of being too busy reading the English Courtesan’s latest auction post, here is a fuzzy wuzzy picture of it viewed from Yorkshire.

flangracneig pgoramian When we arrived at London, I had a scary moment whereby I dropped my mobile phone and it skidded nearly onto the underground track. However, it didn’t. Han was a little later than me (the first time I’ve beaten Han anywhere, a point that amused me for about 10 minutes) so I spent my time finding out where the hotel was, and sure enough we found it. The hotel was lovely, with hard floors, huge marble bathroom (which, we found that it was not designed for practicality, as the sink was a bugger to get clean) and Andy Warhol esque paintings on the wall. The view from the window was over an industrial estate, but it didn’t matter, as we saw a giant Mobli. After watching some TV, we went down to get some food, me to get a beer (they had Boddies on tap!), and Han to get her internet fix. The food was nice (well, I liked my dish, Han wasn’t to keen on hers), and we had a few drinks and ordered room service (which I had to get), before going t
