Daily Mirror uk:
People around the world will witness a rare celestial event - a solar
eclipse, which occurs when the moon passes between Earth and the sun.
Those who are standing directly in the moon's shadow on Earth on August
21, will see the disc of the moon move slowly in front of the sun until
it
covers it completely, leaving only a burning ring of light around the
edge.
Those who are not in the right place to witness a total eclipse may
still
see a partial eclipse. The sky will darken and the temperature will
drop,
as the moon obscures part of the sun from view.
Solar eclipses don't come along every day, so if you're keen to see the
spectacle, it's worth planning ahead to make sure you're in a good
position for when it happens.
The best place to see the solar eclipse is in the United States. The
so-called "path of totality", which describes the areas where a total
solar eclipse is visible, passes right through the middle of the
country.
If you want to see a total eclipse, you'll need to be in one of 11 US
states - including Idaho, Wyoming, Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri, Illinois, >>> Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina.
### - good job am not into astrology anymore eh? lol!
being right underneath it; a solar eclipse (in leo) isn't exactly a good >>> omen for the US?
and no, i DON'T believe in it (i don't actually 'believe' in anything
anymore...) that's just what the astrologers say/suggest - BIG change in >>> the house of the ruler??
dark skies over america? dark skies over the rest of the world 'caused'
by
america??
death of a king? trumpy's day of power arrives? major upheaval?
hell your guess is as good as mine! ;)
No, my guess is better than yours. It's just an eclipse of a middle
aged standard main sequence GO yellow star by a second rate small moon
of a pretty little world on the edge of a galaxy of over 300 thousand
million other visible stars, black holes innumerable, black stars,
thousands of trillions of other large objects and even more dark
matter and energy.
### - oh no not 'trillions', don't tell me you've been smoking again?? >(lol:)))
Oy yes, trillions. 300 billion suns. Each perhaps with planetary
systems approaching ours on average - all they need is two planets per
sun and we're at the first trillion (300 billion + 600 billion). But
if there are 5 planets per sun, then we're at ~2 trillion. Then,
there's the thosands of billioins of wandering planets and planetoids
and large asteroids (say over 50km) and then, there's the 100 billion
brown dwarves (failed stars) - and we haven't even gotten to the dark
objects, black holes, dark stars and other things that are there but
don't emit enough radiation to be perceived.
So, yep, it's a bit bigger and more populous than you thought.
The point I was making - and you got it actually, congrats - is that
with all of these trillions of objects which exert gravitational and
quantum influences on us all, what makes the couple of hundred near
stars which comprise the astrological constellations so special? Just
because our ancestors could see them doesn't make the grade,
unfortunately. It's just more bullshit for slow thinkers.
That's *all* it is. This is the age of enlightenment Brian, not the
dark ages. Turn your lights on.
### - hang on, gotta bang my flints together to light my beaver-oil lamp? >lol... stated quite categorically that i DON'T believe in it didn't i?
(had a good look at it as a young man but dropped it beyond a point when i >realised it's, like many things, only an applied belief system...) plus,
they may have 'called' it the (age of) enlightenment, but observation >suggests it's anything BUT enlightened here on plant wallyworld lol, in
fact, the world is sooo enlightened it's going down the drain?? (have met >genuinely enlightened people thang and they never live as most people
choose to, they're all genuine outsiders for a start so it's along 'those' >lines' not scientific/rational ones...)
Lol. There you go, not only lighting your beaver oil lamp (what the
fuck is that?) but banging the wally world drum again. It's not that
bad you know. I like being a human. I like my life. I like life in
general. And if there is a god, I thank him/her/it/them from the
bottom of my heart for this little opportunity, against all the odds,
for "me" to admire the handiwork :)
I'm profoundly in awe at life and notwithstanding how insignificant we
are, we're just as significant as any other thing in this amazing,
eternal and infinite cosmos we inhabit.
This is the true age of enlightenment. It's permitted interested
parties such as myself to use my noggin to work out things which
establish a perspective and context for me to go through life never
forgetting, now that I know. The opportunity is yours too, go for it.
I did and I've never looked back.
