    Cute cat videos go viral instantly. Nearly seven billion smart phones in the world. Imagine video of an extraterrestrial ship landing, with aliens disembarking. I’m thinking that would go viral too.

    I’m thinking that if Space Aliens were actively visiting Earth from across the galaxy, we would not need Congressional Hearings to establish this fact. Just sayin’.

    Lunar eclipses occur on average every two or three years and are visible to all the billions of people who can see the Moon when it happens. So, contrary to what you may have been told, lunar eclipses are not rare.

    Lunar eclipses are so un-spectacular that if nobody told you what was happening to the Moon you’d probably not notice at all. Just sayin’.

    Unlike solar eclipses, which are location-dependent, everyone on the side of Earth facing the full Moon (i.e. the Sun has set for you) can witness a lunar eclipse.

    Decades ago, when there was more air pollution, sunsets were often beet-red. That color would refract into Earth’s shadow in space tinting the fully eclipsed Moon. Haven’t seen that effect in years. The Moon more commonly goes dark, leaving nothing “bloody” about the Blood Moon

    Dear Earthlings currently in darkness: Right about now, the full Moon is passing into Earth’s conical shadow in space. The event is long and boring, lasting 3.5 hours. For the middle 84 minutes, the Moon is all but fully darkened as it enters the deepest part of Earth’s shadow.

    Just created my own Tesseract portal. But don't tell anybody.

    If a human bites a Vampire then shouldn’t the Vampire turn back into a human? And while we’re at it, if a human bites a Zombie shouldn’t it cure the Zombie too?

    I don't know anyone who drinks liquids from cups with holes in their bottoms. So you are describing a different world.

    If you watched the glass long enough (over days) you will see the level slowly drop as the water evaporates from its surface. That counts as half-empty.

    If you are filling a glass and reach the halfway point, it’s half-full. If you are emptying a glass and reach the halfway point, it’s half-empty. No need to invoke your emotional state.

    We talked about science in bad movies. Was a guffaw a minute. How I'll always remember him: Smart. Funny. Curious. With a childlike amusement of all that makes you laugh. Gilbert Gottfried, RIH (rest in humor) Feb 1955 - April 2022. [Audio: 1h 37m]

    With a telescope, the Moon is best viewed during other phases, especially half-moon, in which the craters and mountains cast their longest shadows. Cool Lamp.

    Saturday, April 16, 2022 Full Moon today — the first one after the March Equinox. The Sunday following that Full Moon is, by definition, Easter. This rule precludes solar eclipses from ever taking place on Easter Sunday.
