Mozambique... remember the california connection... hopefully this time the 6+ does not occur.

Happy Friday!!!

:happyfriday:

We should be snowing and having freezing weather.

I'm almost praying the earth would go haywire, I love people but this whole place collectively is seriously in need of a major catastrophe in my opinion. That would unite every man and woman again. Weather patterns for certain have gone ballistic last few weeks. If only quakes and volcanism would follow.

end rant. A bit pessimistic I know.

:)

Unite? I'm more pessimistic than you my friend. A major catastrophic event would send people off the deep end at this point in time. Riots, food stealing, murders for food. Tapes just for the fun of it.

How many pulled together after 9/11 world wide, I do not think would happen today. A massive volcanic eruption (not Yellowstone unless on a smaller scale) that helped bring forth a mini ice age would also send humankind over a cliff.

A billion or more people just poof

I was correct again with location for this earthquake but incorrect with magnitude (see my post from december) Phillipines

LUNAR ECLIPSE THIS FRIDAY NIGHT: The full Moon will lose some of its usual luster on Friday night, Feb. 10th, as an eerie shadow creeps across the lunar disk. It's a penumbral lunar eclipse, visible from parts of every continent except Australia.

Graphic artist Larry Koehn created this animation of the event: [link to vimeo.com (secure)]

A penumbral eclipse happens when the Moon passes through the pale outskirts of Earth's shadow. It is much less dramatic than a total lunar eclipse. In fact, when observers are not alerted beforehand, they sometimes do not realize an eclipse is underway. Nevertheless, the shadow of Earth can be plainly visible to the naked eye.

The best time to look is Friday night around 07:44 p.m. Eastern Time (00:44 UT Saturday). That's the time of maximum coverage when Earth's shadow creates a clear gradient of light and shadow across the lunar disk.

Check out this global visibility map to see if you are in the eclipse zone: [link to spaceweather.com]

According to folklore, a full Moon in February is called the "Snow Moon." For northerners, it often feels like the brightest Moon of the year as moonlight glistens off the white landscape. For a while on Friday night, the Snow Moon won't seem quite so bright.
