  • Lunar Eclipse, Blood Moon and Purim....

    FWIW....

    Purim is March 4.

    Total Lunar Eclipse March 3, which will cause a blood moon.

    A total lunar eclipse is when the Moon is completely shadowed by the Earth. The Moon passes through the Earth's umbra, and no direct light can reach it from the Sun. However, the Earth's atmosphere refracts -- or bends -- light, at the same time filtering it, so that it illuminates the Moon with a dark red colour. Depending on the prevailing condition of the Earth's atmosphere, in terms of cloud cover and dust from volcanic eruptions, the actual colour of the Moon at totality can vary from near black (particularly at mid-totality), to rust, brick red, or bright copper-red or even orange.

    And it is quite beautiful too. Almost as cool as the huge harvest moons that we get in Fla. that are too awesome as they hang over the ocean.
