If you're in the mood for a minor headache today, I suggest you do a quick study of the lunar calendar and try to explain it to a friend.  Even the article I read in Wikipedia, which usually clears things right up for me, left me scratching my head.  The reason I mention this because there are two major groups in the world today who still use the lunar calendar - the Chinese and the Musl

A UK-led mission to put a satellite in orbit around the Moon which could one day enable lunar colonists to use mobile phones to communicate with each other has inched a step closer to blast off. The British National Space Centre (BNSC) has announced it will undertake a technical feasibility study of the MoonLITE mission. The study will report with a full mission schedule and costs late next year

The process of translating a Japanese RPG must be quite a task – even the most modestly sized of role-playing games contain thousands of words of dialogue, and then there’s the question of whether a joke in one language will still be seen as funny in another.

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!

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

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.

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.

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.
