This is just cool, Astronomers have found a shooting star. Literally shooting, the thing is traveling through space faster than a speeding bullet and has a tail 13 light years long. For some really cool pictures, follow the link.

Later this month there is going to be a lunar eclipse. So if the night is clear, the moon will go a rusty shade of red for a little while.

yeah, it occured during my tkd training, I managed to see it afterwards though when it was rusty brown and nearly past its eclipse stage I think, there was a hint of white.

Went out when Code Geass was playing at AJAS. In the city it was almost invisible. Not really much to get all that excited about. Apart from the fact that all the crazies were drawn out from their hidey-holes in search of blood. 8)

It looked like the last eclipse.

Lunar eclipses are really only interesting once. It isn't much to look at, either. Solar eclipses are where it's at. The partial one we had a couple of years back was kinda cool, but didn't beat the full eclipse Adelaide had back in the 70's sometime. A sunny Saturday and everything goes dark at 2pm for a few minutes, with the sky around the horizon still as bright as day. 8)

We just wanted to see how fast your respawn rate was. This does add a whole new meaning to the term "Messiah Complex".

I adivse dying in a battleground, you're guaranteed a respawn within 30 seconds every time. Learn to wield that cross imo.

If you're passing blood when you moon, see a doctor immediately.

Yes, because stars are known to pass blood when they moon. 8)

Don't forget the cats and the cradle and the silver spoon. And definitely not the man on the moon.

Perhaps the cicadas cried and Atory is currently going out of his mind doing in random yanderes.
