You go outside for a walk, and you look up into the dark night sky to see a bright orange object hanging there. You stand in wonder, and now you realize. A lunar eclipse has struck you with a memorizing trance. A lunar eclipse was among our sky on Saturday, March 3, 2007. This world wonder was barely visible to North and South America. This beauty was perfectly clear to view in Asia, Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. A lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth passes directly between the Sun and the Moon. Although the Earth’s shadow will completely cover the Moon, light from the sun will still reach the moon after being refracted through Earth’s atmosphere, giving the moon its shades of crimson and amber. Although it seems that everyone can see this, it is not true. Alaska, eastern Australia and New Zealand will miss the show altogether. The next lunar eclipse will occur August 28, 2007.

I enjoyed reading your blog. it was very intresting
the lubnar eclipse is a beutiful sight , to bad i wasnt able to see it and enjoy its beuty
it was cool to see :] good article
wow its interesting how you chose to qrite about a lunar eclipse. I woukld have never thought of that eventhough I love science>
i feels that way all the time whenever i see the moon. it’s one thing to look up and say you see the moon, but then you realize, that’s a really big chunk of rock just floating around out there. That’s pretty insane. And the eclipse just adds to it.
Wow, I can’t believe i missed it !!!!! Cool Article, I wish i would have known about the eclipse ealier, good job on describing natures effect on you.
That sounds amazing, I can’t belive i missed that! Hope the next one is visible.
GREAT ARTILCE!! I ENJOYED READING , IT WAS VERY INTERESTING.
The first part of that is a poem,I think at least nice I liked it
This is a very interesting scientific article and I am a little sad that i missed such a great event to happen in science. It is a shame but i will definetly be looking for the next one on August 28
Hmm. I did not know about that, too bad I missed it. I’m looking forward to the next one though. It seems very interesting, especially with the different colors the moon will turn. Not something you see every day.
Yes! It really did put Tom and myself in a trance. Tom and I were finishing up our grounds keeping job Saturday night at Hewes for the Tustin Western Little League, when we looked up and saw the moon. At first, we were like “Whoa…that’s not normal.” Not to mention none of the floodlights were working that night at Hewes and one piddly little headlight on the front of our electric car did not help much so it was kind of eerie driving down the track, being surrounded by blackness and not being able to see more than about 5 feet in front of where we were driving. We stopped for a couple minutes in silence before we almost yelled out at the same time that it was must be an eclipse. Even though we could hardly see it, it still amazed us with its orangish color and so forth… Nice descriptive article, Kirsten!
it was interesting to find out something new about the atmosphere. very new to me.
Isn’t science interesting? I think so, awsome report, too bad I wasn’t able to see it either… better luck next time.
