I'm a Cancer whose dominant planet is supposed to be the Moon. I don't know what that means but I have always been in love with the moon. It's probably because it's so silvery and I can stare at it unlike the Sun. When asked of what do I think of beautiful, I always think of the Moon.
But what's this I hear about a Total Lunar Eclipse happening? Let me look up what that really means according to Google definition:
Umm, so if the Moon will be covered by the Earth's shadow, how will you know that the Moon is in that precise place? I mean, the Moon is a big thing, but can you still see it? It's pretty obvious that I haven't seen a Lunar eclipse before, huh? I know Lunar eclipses happen a whole lot more than Solar eclipses and that they are safer to look at than the latter, but I at least wanna know what to expect and what time it's happening. So now, it's research time for me, and I will apparently increase Google's trend for lunar eclipses searches. :]
So my latest research says that this is going to be the last Lunar eclipse that I can see until 2010. Ummm, I've never ever seen a lunar eclipse before, but since this is going to be the last, I will be activating all the alarm clocks in the house just to see this baby.
This lunar eclipse is just like going to a celebrity-infused event, with cameo appearances by Saturn and the bright star Regulus. And to make it even more interesting, both will be appearing on either side of the moon, so I guess the middle part would be the unseen moon? Hahah, I'm so ignorant when it comes to Astronomy. I can't believe I even wanted to be an astronaut when I was a kid.
Hmm, after some more reading, I finally find out that the lunar eclipse won't be "unseen". Instead it'll have a tinge of orange or red to it. I slightly remember having seen that happen before. So I guess I'm not so inexperienced with lunar eclipses.
What I want to know now is what time and when it's going to happen in Asia. But after some research, I still haven't found any information about it happening for people in Asia. I guess I'm not gonna be seeing Saturn then. Sad.
