I can feel the spirit of Christmas
with all the decorations everywhere,
the carols I can hear in the neighborhood,
the people buying gifts on the streets,
the gifts wrapped underneath the Christmas tree,
the happy faces of the people around me and
the celebration of the birth of the savior.
HAPPY CHRISTMAS :)
The best season to share smiles, to care for the one you love and to give LOVE..
Hapii Christmas to all the people :)
Though calamities may have destroyed some belongings, differences may cause misunderstandings, problems may lower our faith in the Almighty One, let's bring back ourselves to Him for his son, the Savior, is already here.
Forget and Forgive
Share what you have
Never forget how to pray
Thank Him in any ways
Put Him in our hearts always
Give some LOVE <3
"This year's last total lunar eclipse on Saturday presented a celestial spectacle for people all over the country, including those in the national capital, in the pre-dusk hours.
In a clear sky over the national capital, the full moon slowly slipped into the earth's darker shadow starting just after 5.02 PM.
"The lunar eclipse started at 5:02 PM and could be seen with naked eyes," Director of Nehru Planetarium, N Rathnasree said.
Astronomy enthusiasts and sky-gazers gathered at the Nehru Planetarium and India Gate to watch the moon's bright white glow giving way to a cerise red.
Amateur Astronomers Association, in association with the Nehru Planetarium, had set up telescopes and cameras to enable people watch and take photographs of the celestial phenomenon.
"It was a memorable experience. I saw the moon slipping into the darker shadow," Shreyansh, a school student, said.
The maximum eclipse was seen at 20:01:50 PM IST.
The eclipse began at 5.02 PM and will end at 11.02 PM.
While the noticeable Umbra phase began at 6.15 PM, it will end at 9.48 PM.
The sunlight passing through the Earth's atmosphere gave the lunar surface a deep reddish hue.
A lunar eclipse occurs when the earth in course of its orbit around the sun, comes between the moon and sun in such a way that moon is hidden in the shadow cast by earth.
This can occur only when the sun, earth and moon are aligned in a straight line, C B Devgun of Science Popularisation Association of Communicators and Educators (SPACE) said.
People living in eastern Africa, the Middle East, central Asia and western Australia will also able to watch the entire eclipse, from beginning to end, Arvind Paranjpye, scientific officer of Inter-University Centre for Astronomy and Astrophysics, said. "
-- I'm so glad I'm one of the thousands or millions of those who witnessed the LUNAR ECLIPSE a while ago.
While watching the ACT Pasko sa Sugbo performance, I received a text saying a Lunar Eclipse will appear today. But I disregard it. Minutes passed, the moon as seen above is now 1/4 of its original size. I said WOW! A LUNAR ECLIPSE! The audience didn't mind the people performing on stage, almost everyone pointed to the sky and almost shocked by what we just saw.
I'm happy though I was pissed off. :)
