I believe a Merlot. ;)


You can simulate the effects if you view it thru a glass of rose'

COOL!

For all to see (except Australia.)

NASA Science News for November 4, 2003

On Saturday, Nov. 8th, the full moon will glide through our planet's
shadow and turn a delightful shade of sunset-red.

I guess we don't get red down under, though the idea of a Red Moon
surely is the result of high altitude dust, and not being a few
minutes as a tinge, or is that a blush?

Whenever there is a total Lunar Eclipse, twice a year, the appearance
is red, because of diffraction when the suns light goes through the
Earths atmosphere to be reflected by the Moon.

Nothing at all to get twitterpated about.

Whilst on the subject, 2004 will see:

A transit of Venus. (Venus will pass across the face of the Sun)

TWO naked eye comets in the sky at one time (but since comets are not
harbingers of doom, nothing to worry about there, and NEITHER one will
hit a planet)

A gathering of several planets in the sky at one time

An occultation of Regulus by Mercury

A formation in the sky where Venus will be very bright and cl;ose to
the crescent Moon (those who wish to see something islamic in that,
take heart, it's quite common)

OK, two comets visible to the naked eye ion the sky at one time is
uncommon, but everything I've mentioned is the result of well known
celestial mechanics, and most people have grown up from the dark ages
when they used to get twitterpated, and thought that the sky was
falling, or some demon was eating the stars so you had to sacrifice
something.Most People.

and the grasshoppers and locusts and mosquitoes have gotten completely
out of hand....

And then what happens...?

I am going to start jerking off with peanut butter and howl like a dog!

Then it turns back to white and we all go back inside our homes with
sore neck muscles until the next time the moon turns to blood.

What else is there besides that?

You can always make popcorn to enhance it.

O for jesus sake!! There are TWO Lunar
Eclipses EVERY FREAKING YEAR, and
each time, because of the effects of the
earths atmosphere, the moon goes red.
Gettit? It happens TWICE A YEAR, and
it's a well established, common thing,
brought about by celestial mechanics
that has been known about for
centuries.
Of course, if you are really worried about
it, I guess you *could* sacrifice a virgin
or something so that the big bad
shadow will go away.
