Total Lunar Eclipse Fortune Cookie



Tonite we witness the last Total Lunar Eclipse for the year until the year 2010, acoompanied by cameo apperances of Saturn and the brightest star,Regulas at either
side of the vieled full moon.
It was not too much clouds,we in Eastern America here were able to see this beautiful view. Have you noticed? With the stars and the moon, it looked like a cross.
As the moonlight dims — it won't go totally dark — Saturn and Regulus will pop out and sandwich the moon. Regulus is the brightest star in the constellation Leo.

A total lunar eclipse occurs when the full moon passes into Earth'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 on the night side of the planet.

The moon doesn't go black because indirect sunlight still reaches it after passing through the Earth's atmosphere. Since the atmosphere filters out blue light, the indirect light that reaches the moon transforms it into a reddish or orange tinge, depending on how much dust and cloud cover are in the atmosphere at the time.

Today Total Lunar Eclipse Cookie says

" You will always get what you want through your charm and personality>"
