The End Is Nigh!

Bring it on.

we survived the comet strike
we survived the economic meltdown
and who knows what other things, this should be a piece of cake.

I saw Venus, Mars and Jupiter last night at 5.30am, not excatly in alignment but pretty close in low sky, looking East, the skies were completly clear... i felt humbled to see the solar planets twinkle like stars with the naked eye.

ps im no eexpert though, it could have been a passing stationary ufo or birds with their lights on hovering.. mind you Venus was very very bright

edit: to clarify-


as in the star map i saw jupiter and venus very bright, regulus was slighly up in position to mars, both quite faint. first time ive seen them just by chance i opened the window and looked out.


edit2: yes i was

In my birthday, yay! :)

End of the world you say? The end is the beginning so... I'm waiting to see some nice phenomenal start of sales... Please Bloody Moon, change the (my) world a little bit ;p

I don't think this will end the world, it all ready ended. Welcome to the after life, which is a lot like the life which is a lot like pre life.

And here I was looking for an asteroid.

Ronald did you take your flu medication?

I just hope this breaks the curse. I'm tired of turning into a hawk every morning; uncooked rats, squirrels and rabbits are not as tasty as you might imagine!

HAHAHAaa... Wendy my Ladyhawke...

;-)

i should have howled... lol

Must be a lot of prophet, I mean profit in those end of the world cults.

Ed -- in my mind, everything I read from you translates into a howl. I like that! ;-)

oops.

mooon glitch

Hold on... Aren't we all meant to have been killed on the 23rd?

i saved everyone already, that's why i changed outfits.

Abbie, that's why I'm writing with a Ouija Board today, instead of a keyboard. ;-)

Dang Dave, knew I forgot something!

The world can't come to an end on the 27th, all my bills are paid up till the 31st.

EDIT, oooPs 30th.

If Bible prophesy is being used as the suggested "end of the world" there is no end until the seven years of tribulation are finished, then there will be a 1000 years of Christ ruling, then Armageddon. After these events the new earth and heaven will be created. Revelation clearly points these events out chronologically.

Although somewhat confusing with your "end of the world" statement which seems to indicate to be on the 27th. I agree after reading your post over again the blood moon is very likely a sign in the earth which happens before and indicates the eminent chain of events listed above which has been confirmed by prophesy over and over again.

I need to clear up any confusion on what these prophecies mean so people don't think Christians or prophecy are cuckoo! Prophecy from real prophets is always correct because it doesn't come from man. If there were errors the Old Testament prophets were killed as sorcerers. If you check the tract record of a real prophet they are never wrong. These men did not give dates!

Ok guys,.. My fault bringing up the comet.. Mea culpa but let's NOT get into religion, cheers

This phenomenon has occured five times since the start of the last century (1910, 1928, 1946, 1964, and 1982).

Just looked at what happened after these dates.
1910 - 4 years after, the Great War.
1928 - The following year, the Great Depression.
1946 - The end of the Second World War.
1964 - The miniskirt and free love.
1982 - Start of the battle for the Falkland Islands.

2015 What will happen next?

Interesting, it is the same day of the Chinese Moon Festival this year!

Thanks for opening this discussion Andy, I can not wait to see it they are dazzling and amazing to view. Of all things a low pressure of sorts coming up into the Gulf of Mexico, it does seem to be nudging more to the central Gulf of Mexico heading up from the Yucatan. They were expecting it to move northward sometime Sunday, they now say sometime next Wednesday, I did view one full lunar eclipse earth morning over 8 years ago just prior to the sun rise and it was surreal. It too was a blood moon......thanks again Andy

Getting off the subject I just read the report on MSN inner net, and now scientist are highly baffled by a zone in the Atlantic here we had the hottest temperatures globally and there is a zone of extreme cold temperatures. They are puzzled what may be the origin or cause and they did say though similar to the sci fi movie The Day After Tomorrow....I would have to think an area in the upper atmosphere is allowing downdrafts to move downwards in that area......perhaps some of you saw that report today on the inner net.....it was a great sci-fi movie The Day After Tomorrow......

My suite is on the 4th floor and faces north, north east and will look out tomorrow and see the view of Venus, Jupiter and Mars...

Did anyone else happen to see the documentary on a PBS station about the woman statue above the US Capital Building and why she was selected she has a crown of stars on her head and the symbolism .and they seem to think she represents extraterrestrial being from another world who have visited and returned to watch over the earth.... Very interesting connection, I had never really new about the history of the woman selected to sit atop the Capital Building in Washington, DC.......it is a beautiful statue, it does make you think a bit a woman and not a male statue? A very symbolic representation and the equality of women's role in society and the majestic statue of Lady Liberty. Power to the women of world past and future and their import contributions to civilization......

It is amusing that there are so many end-of-the-world predictions when astronomical events take place. Eclipses, comets, planetary alignments, etc all have come with claims of the end of the world. These are all just manifestations of bodies of mass and orbital mechanics. Now, when the sun blows up, which it will some day (we will all be long gone by then), THAT will be a different story!

It's almost like we didn't walk on the moon, rover around Mars, map the human genome and explore the bottom of the ocean.

Well, 92% cloud cover here during the eclipse....

I guess the world will have to end another day.

CSI - Civilian Sim Instructor, AKA my day job title.

Apparently, it's 'Karma is a B**ch Day'.

First, my main PC is having all kinds of pesky technical difficulties.

Second, my date to attend a space-themed art show and eclipse viewing event, at the local planetarium, crashed and burned at the last minute.

Finally, after days and days and days of hot, clear skies, our forecast for tonight has suddenly gone from 'clear and cooler' to 'muggy and mostly cloudy with a chance of scattered thunderstorms.' Yep -- the clouds are rolling in as I type.

This day has gone from 60 to zero, in no seconds flat. (More Yugo than LaFerrari.)

Guess I'll be viewing online. Poor, poor, pitiful me. ~ heavy, pathetic sigh ~

The weather here is going downhill vs what was forecast as well, looks like mostly cloudy and maybe even some rain, appears to be a common theme. I can't say I was all that interested in this red moon thing anyway. I guess I'm weird in that astronomy has never held much interest for me, what's down here on Earth is far more interesting to me.

See you all tomorrow. :))

Well now seeing as the world is about to end come on over and do some last minute shopping. http://www.PhotoCapturesbyJeffery.com

And I have also set up some Gift Certificates using the Square Market services. The gift certificates will be a great gift for those that you aren't sure what to get but want to share the love. https://mkt.com/PhotoCapturesbyJeffery

Have a blessed Full Moon.
Jeffery

Oh, do a little dance, make a little love
Get down tonight, get down tonight

David, I've always been interested in celestial events. It stems from some very early memories of my grandmother and us kids 'camping out' in the backyard, while she told us stories about the constellations. I spend many a night -- even without the promise of an eclipse -- out on the porch, moon- and star-gazing. :-)


James, have a lovely evening!

Finally will there be something exciting happen here in the UK, here if there's a half inch of snow or a few leaves on our railway lines it's like the world has ended, for god sake don't tell anyone in the UK if the moons going to do that lol they be raiding the shops for food within minutes!!!!!!!!! I'm OK with it.

some people has been saying, well everyone will be taking photos, well I sure will, haven't seen this before. May well never see this again so I'm making the most of it.

Well, if I am still awake at 03h30 in the morning, I will be out in the garden watching the event whilst listening to Pink Floyd and sampling a glass of fine Armagnac.

Anybody know when the next of the world date is so I can put it in my diary ??

I wish I had the time to make it up to where this was taken to get some good moon shots.. sigh

If I go poof in the night - nice knowing everyone!

Beautiful clear night here. Moon is rising over the hay field, should be great for viewing. I can see it from my living room chair. One on one the moon, one eye on The Great British Baking contest.

we're safe. thick overcast.

Only thing is is that the moon doesn't look like blood, its orange. Over dramatizations from astronomers in their naming of occurrences, as usual.

Here it just looked slight yellow-pale, but then I could hardly see it because of the cloud cover.

We drove to the dam at Chatfield Reservoir so there wouldn't be trees in the way. There were a lot of people there, some with some serious looking camera equipment. My husband & son brought their cell phone cameras, which were completely inadequate.

A little before 7:00pm, the moon rose, huge and full, it was a soft coral color. Then it turned bright white and the earth's shadow started passed over it, first a cookie-bite, then a half-moon, and it kept going until it was just a sliver (still white). It didn't turn color until it was almost completely in shadow. By about 8:45pm it really looked like a blood-moon, reddish-orange around the edges, dark gray shadow in the middle obscuring the moon's face. Amazing.

If I didn't belong to a culture that has un-scary scientific explanations for this sort of thing... I would be completely spooked by it.

We also got a great sunset over the Rocky Mountains...a bonus.

just watched the perfect beautiful full red- orange supermoon for about an hr.... i felt a deep feeling looking at it over its full eclipse, it seemed most red just minutes before. opened my bedroom window and gazed in full view, cloudless skies.
happy full reddy orange supermoon everyone!

i got a few 127xs zoom shots and its definitley a deep reddy orange, although the colour quickly evaporates as the "diamond ring" edge appears,

i should upload a few tomorrow. it did feel,mysterious, deep, meaningful.... destinies perhaps are written upon the skies...
so many solar happenings as of late, we had the partial solar eclipse earlier this year but it was cloudy, and the 3rd red moon earlier though i miseed that too. i saw Venus, Jupiter and Mars a few nights ago too. its great to,watch and imerse into the cosmos... that great spirit of creation

Sleep tight.

In California we had partial eclipse of the Moon. Can we expect tomorrow only partial end of wearing miniskirt and partial free love tonight?

Wendy, sorry you didn't get to go to the space themed art show and moon viewing at the planetarium, sounds like a great time. If I lived near enough you could have called me! I need to suggest that kind of art show at the VA Science Museum sounds like a winner, in the meantime I've got to start working on my moon/space image...

Amazing shot Daniel! Now you've got me wondering if some of our resident mountaineer photographers shot the blood moon. Need to do a search...

Was cloudy here so I couldn't see it, so it didn't happen. Also, the pope made it out of Philly alive, so this guy has already racked up a miracle on his road to sainthood.

Thanks for the commiseration, Suzanne. :-)

We had full cloud cover at my place, so I never even got a glimpse of the celestial event. Several people within a 30-mile radius called to say they'd some some or most or all of it. Clouds were patchy, with my house being in the wrong patch.

Instead, I spent the night catching up on episodes of 'Fear The Walking Dead' -- which, while not on the level of a supermoon eclipse, certainly has its own charm. ;-)

C'est la vie -- let's see what this new day brings!


Susan, we need to discuss this 'couldn't see it so it didn't happen' thing you've got going,. ;-)

If it's not observed then the wave function didn't collapse Wendy... it's just "simple" quantum mechanics ;)

Yikes! I'll save all that for a time when I haven't been awake for more than 34 hours! :-)

Little fog in the athmosphere here in Bavaria (went cold last night) so the images are not 100 % clear but still impressive in my opinion !

Doesn't matter Wendy, it will still hurt your brain. It even hurts quantum physicists' brains. I just happen to be a brain masochist ;)
