Blood Moon

If it's not cloudy tommorow night <a href="http://www.scienceblog.com/community/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=4429" target="_blank">this looks like it will be a treat</a>.<br />n<br />n<blockquote>On Wednesday night, Oct. 27th, North Americans can see a total eclipse of the moon. According to folklore, October's full moon is called the ''Hunter's Moon'' or sometimes the ''Blood Moon.'' It gets its name from hunters who tracked and killed their prey by autumn moonlight, stockpiling food for the winter ahead. You can picture them: silent figures padding through the forest, the moon overhead, pale as a corpse, its cold light betraying the creatures of the wood. The Blood Moon rises this year on Wednesday, Oct. 27th. At first it will seem pale and cold, as usual. And then … blood red.</blockquote><br />n<br />n<b>We are the music makers, and we are the dreamers of the dream. Wandering by lone sea breakers, and sitting by desolate streams. World losers and world forsakers, for whom the pale moon gleams. Yet we are movers and the shakers of the world forever it seems. Arthur O'Shaunessey</b>
