To some Christians, a lunar eclipse symbolised the wrath of God.

In some cases a lunar eclipse has been conjoined with the crucifixion of Jesus, describing "a charred sky with an angry moon".

A gobbled moon is associated with the "coming of Judgement Day" and ultimately, the apocalypse.

No. During a lunar eclipse, you can safely stare directly at the moon continuously, for the entire several hours that the eclipse is in progress. And try to stay awake.

We can predict down to the millisecond for millions of years into the future where any heavenly body will be.

So yes the next total eclipse as of OCT 5th 2011 see NASA is on DECEMBER 10th 2011 over Pacific Ocean.

At the instant of greatest eclipse (14:32 UT) the Moon lies at the zenith in the Pacific Ocean near Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands.

Its all down to equations and Maths.

There are UV rays still glaring down from the visible prominences of the sun which can cause serious damage to the human eye. one of the ways to view this amazing cosmic event is get a certain camera filter with a certain filter.

The other reason being, when there is eclipse, there is darkness and hence the pupil in our eye expand to absorb more light in order to see better. But when the moon moves further there is a sudden burst of light coming in and our pupils are still expanded(it takes more time for it to settle down) by then the burst of light directly falling on the eyes would have caused a lot of harm.

Added to this, during eclipse, the curiosity makes us stare at the sun for longer then the usual glance that we do of a fraction of second. This adds to the side-effects caused to the eyes during a solar eclipse.

it happened to my Honda Accord yesterday also. Friend of mine used scanner to detect that problem and found out that the part name "Purge system solenoid valve" was broken. I hope this will give you a hint for your car. Thia problem can also be caused by an improperly installed air filter housing. The housing may not be sealed properly on its gaskets or the holding clips may not be set. It is an easy item to check! You may want to check your charcoal canister also...I had the same problem just two month's ago and that was the problem...I have a 99 Eclipse RS Spyder.... it is your roll over valve on the fuel tank i have a 97 rs too it had the same problem I would start with making sure you have a good seal on your gas cap as well (three clicks whenever it is removed and put back on). This is one of the most common causes of this code. Also, check all your vaccum lines for cracks from the gas tank to the evap system. Another cause, as mentioned above, is the purge solenoid sensor.

During the 100-year period from 1901 to 2000, there were 228 solar eclipses and

229 lunar eclipses. On the average, that's 2.28 or 2.29 of each kind, for every year,

but in in individual year, it can be as many as 4.

Partial eclipses aren't that hard to see. What are hard to see are penumbral eclipses, because they don't result in all that much dimming and the full moon is so much brighter than anything else in the sky at the time that it's difficult to notice any dimming without sensitive instrumentation.

To answer this question I did some on site research. I visited the Astronomy Marine Science Center in Chesapeake Bay, France. Dr. Francois Gerard gave me a fascinating tour of the facilities. I saw the zero gravity center where scientists put endangered marine life in a zero gravity oxygenless, waterless environment to see what happens. To date their success is extraordinary. After the gravity center I saw the breeding on the moon simulator. They have recreated the exact conditions of the surface of the moon, and they try to cross breed endangered marine life. Dr. Gerard said the experiments were going particularly well. Finally, he showed me the lunar eclipse wing of the facility. At that moment they had just received a shipment of fiddler crabs. For those of you who dont' know a fiddler crab is the one with the one huge claw. This oversized claw is used to better play coral and other natural marine instruments. Hence the name fiddler. Dr. Gerard oversaw putting the crabs in the eclipse tank. He than blocked the moon from the crabs conciousness and observed what happened. At first nothing happened, but after a few minutes the crabs became agitated. They started attacking one another. They formed differed ethnic groups based on the color of their claws. Soon they have developed advance crab weapons and were arranging battle formations. One group of crabs started a bombardment of heavy artillery fire, while a second group of crabs advanced upon the enemy crabs. The enemy crabs used their superior air power to cripple the artillery fire, but were unprepared for the commando crabs. The commando crabs attacked with their crab weapons and took out the enemy crabs almost to the last one. Having prepared every detail of the attack they even arranged with a deal with some of France's top seafood restaurants. Within minutes some chefs showed up to pick up the dead crabs which be used for tonight's assortment of crab dishes. Dr. Gerard told me the experiment was a qualified success and he was excited to the do the next eclipse experiment with endangered dolphins. He said he had secured a lucrative deal with Japanese sushi restaurants. My plea to you my fine wikianswers friends is to donate to the Astronomy Marine Science Center. Their work is crucial for future breakthroughs in space/marine research, which we all know deeply affects on a day to day basis. Let's all make a point to think more about space and dolphins in the same sentence this year. We'll make a better world through this.

Lunar eclipses are more frequent than solar eclipses. The quick-and-dirty reason for this is because the earth casts a larger shadow than the moon. Lunar eclipses are also quite a bit longer in duration than solar eclipses. Solar eclipses last minutes, and lunar eclipses can last hours.

There is no similarities between them...a lunar eclipse occurs when the moon passes through the shadow of the earth..you see the dark side of the moon during a new moon.

Depending on your time zone, the total lunar eclipse will begin either every early the morning on Tuesday, December 21, or very late the evening of Monday, December 20.

In the table below, All times are in UCT, "Coordinated Universal Time" which used to be called Greenwich Mean Time. For the Eastern time zone, subtract 5 hours; for Central time, things happen 6 hours earlier. Mountain Time is 7 hours earlier, and subtract 8 hours for Pacific time.

Penumbral Eclipse Begins: ____05:29:17 UT

Partial Eclipse Begins: _______06:32:37 UT

Total Eclipse Begins: ________07:40:47 UT

Greatest Eclipse: ___________08:16:57 UT

Total Eclipse Ends: _________08:53:08 UT

Partial Eclipse Ends: ________10:01:20 UT

Penumbral Eclipse Ends: _____11:04:31 UT

Because lunar eclipses happen when the Earth's shadow falls on the moon, hiding it from the sun's light. For this to happen, the moon must be on the opposite side of the Earth from the sun, so the full half of the moon that is lit by the sun is visible from Earth. That is what full moon is.
