Hard to believe that it is cloudy today, so can't see the moon right now. But you can watch it on NASA's live stream with our SuperBlueBloodMoon soundtrack! bit.ly
A "blood moon" occurs when the moon is in a total eclipse and appears reddish in color 'cause it is illuminated by sunlight filtered and refracted by the earth's atmosphere.
And a 'blue moon' is when a second full moon occurs in a calendar month (Neil deGrasse Tyson has nothing on me!)
According to the Old Farmer's Almanac, the April full moon is known as the Pink Moon because it marked the appearance of a flower called the moss pink, or phlox. ... It is also called the Sprouting Grass Moon, the Egg Moon and the Fish Moon, but you knew that!
During a solar eclipse, the Moon actually casts two shadows toward Earth. One shadow is called the umbra which becomes smaller as it reaches the Earth. This is the dark center of the Moon's shadow. The second shadow is called the penumbra. So Cat Stevens is being followed by two moon shadows!
Half Moon refers to the two lunar phases commonly known as first quarter and last quarter. It also is what the lunula is called. What's a lunula? It's the crescent-shaped whitish area of the bed of a fingernail or toenail
If you're in Seattle and the clouds clear (yeah, I know), the total lunar eclipse occurs at 7:44 am. Don't look directly at it though! Never look at the moon without dark glasses! It's not stylish.
Band member James Moginie said this song "...was inspired by a TV show I saw about NASA astronauts who have gone into space looked back down on earth. You can see the outline of the continents, the rivers, the weather patterns and of course you see the stains, the oil spills in the gulf or whatever else is wrong." I should point out that astronauts have "supposedly" been in space.
did he say hole or whole? sounded like whole to me.
The Earth's atmosphere is to blame for turning the Moon red, orange, yellow, or brown during a Lunar Eclipse. Stupid earth.
'Star' is Belly's debut album and was an unexpected success due to the single "Feed the Tree" being played endlessly on MTV
Yes, moonbathing is a thing. It's a salt bath and you time it with the phases of the moon. click here to learn how to get your moonbath on bit.ly
The reason the moon sometimes appears to be different colors is due to the scattering of light by earth's atmosphere. When the moon is near the horizon, the moonlight must pass through much more atmosphere than when the moon is directly overhead, that's why you see yellow, orange, or red. Science!

The origin of the Moon is usually thought to be that a Mars-sized body struck the Earth, making a debris ring that eventually collected itself into the Moon. Ouch! Moon, My Man, watch where you're going!
Computer simulations of how the moon formed show it would have needed to be a glancing blow of the earth. Kind of like the knight from Monty Python And The Holy Grail's flesh wounds. So the earth could say "I'm not dead yet!"
Watch !!!'s 2017 in-studio from the Gathering Space. If you'd been in the booth during the set, you would have seen the moon! bit.ly

Apparently "early moon" - where the bride & groom take off for a few days before the wedding - is a thing. Christ, I learn the stupidest stuff on Wednesday mornings. Sorry about lowering your IQ too.
when the government faked the moon landing, they used cables to make the "astronauts" look like they were walking in lower gravity - they had to make them look like they only weighed 16.6% of their earth weight. look again at the video, you'll see the cables.
