Welcome To The Afterlife

We are still alive here because of the rain and storms that prevented the doom factor AND any pictures.

Heres my attempt, not the greatest, sometimes i get huge amounts of abberations, dont know if its somekind of diffraction at 127xs zoom, or the atmosphre pollution or just the limit of the sensor in digital zoom at highest iso

Here is my noise reduced attempt having set the alarm to 4.15am, looking out the roof, asking where was it, and in a nr stupor i nr dropped the camera a few xs out of the window, the tripod was in the car and had to retrived through 3 sets of locked doors and i had the wrong tripod attacahment for my camera lol. searching around in the dark with my iphone light... i assmebled and watched, i succeeded in getting a few shots. it was a very mysterious feeling. This shot is just passed the full eclipse by a few minutes. Unfortuntaly there is little detail left once the noise is removed.

"limit of the sensor in digital zoom at highest iso"

It's that. Add in point and shoot super zooms at the limit also suffer a bit.

a cross between clouds and me being asleep and not really caring was a big factor in my survival success. i've slept through many near disasters including many comets, zombie apocalypse, and other such events. my technique works much better than a tinfoil hat.

Yes you are prob right JC , however i wonder if these limits are affected by a range of other factors like light intensity and.. and on last red moon - i saw this



no joke!

Sleep prevented my photos

Oh darn it, i missed it...sigh.

@ Jason, murphy's law doesn't mess around. Of course all those things happened to you, just lucky you had a charge on your phone to use the light... ;)

Supposedly the real fun begins with NASA's announcement later today, it goes beyond finding a water molecule on Mars. We'll see.

Everyone still here?

If there is flowing water on Mars John... that would be amazing! Our destiny is to explore and go into space... Id suspect hidden frozen ice patches might be found.
Edward, we could be multidimensional beings, dual lives lol
do we have an exact count, people might have gone and we just dont know, oh hes back,gone, back, gone.. oh hello again

If that bus comes, get on it!



I haven't seen The Digital lately.

Here's mine :)

My afterlife is turning out to be pretty much the same as my regular life. Wake up post-apocalypse and nothing's different. The coffee still tastes bad if I'm making it when I'm half asleep, and the same leftover chicken is still in the 'fridge. Who knew?

Every Monday feels like The Afterlife.

Or, maybe that's just me . . .

It hit my eye like a big pizza pie!

Wendy, more like the absence of life.

I saw it between 8pm and 10pm here in the NW. Sharp and clear sky. Not a single cloud, but was nowhere near a camera. Cool to see though.

My attempt in the early evening. The neighbors were partying...they must have thought it was their last, lol.

I was out driving my granddaughter and friend home after the movies and saw nothing, so guess the cloud-cover took care of that.

There is flowing water on Mars! ("salty" water) as reports NASA. Amazingly exciting. What could they find next... warm mud pools perhaps, below crusts.. could be home to the mud brick ufo aliens lol...

re: echo to John at minus 6hrs

Andy, and everyone great images of the lunar eclipse, blood moon and super moon. I went over to the river to catch a glimpse but like so many other southern locations rain, and upper and low cloud ceiling. was surprised to see as many people some showed up with ice chest, wine and passing out "moon pies" how funny. I waited and waited hoping a clearing would occur but it did not. As I went to the neighborhood coffee shop which stays open to 12 am I looked up and peering between the clouds was the super moon. It was extremely bright and beautiful but missed the eclipse. I suppose I will now have to see it when I am 92 lol. The only factor which made the eclipse rare was it was a Super Moon, and blood moon, they have occurred in the past and will occur again in the future, nothing doomsday about it........


I am excited about the findings of water below the surface of Mars how exciting is that. I think it was pretty much expected since Mars did have a form of ice north and south. What is a larger mystery why have the polar caps of Mars melted various frozen compounds. Remember its further from the sun than earth, has a denser atmosphere, no visible signs of anything ever evolved on the planet to speak of, yet they have depleted melted, perhaps the core of Mars may be getting hotter. Perhaps Mars with its bio spheres man may just well inhabit Mars that would be exciting. Just as the United Nations has agreed any inhabitants of the moon and or other planets will be a unified scientific community with no political rule a new frontier and civilization.

There is evidence now with other galaxies (solar systems) and the planets approximate location from its sun, life may well exist there as well. And just last night I have seen a new article of a new galaxy discovered and it has one of the largest black holes ever to be discovered yet. This is highly puzzling to scientist because it now changes the theory of black holes and solar systems. From what I read this is nearly impossible but then the great cosmos anything is possible.

As our sun gets hotter expands in the future Mars may well be thriving with life and the process of evolution may occur.

Had no idea dead people ate peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, heavenly!

peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, hummm.

Here we have foie gras, roast duck and Armagnac. I think I'll stay.

First we lived through Bill's predicted comet, and now this. We are basically invincible.

i made a curry today to celebrate the 💒 love in red moon! daze, now, ifeel,it too, invincible! lol

It didn't rise up over downtown like last year's super-moon. Most people were pointing in the wrong direction. It was more Northeast than East. I gave up after a while. Need a longer zoom!

I really hate how I still had to wake up and go to work today in the afterlife.... that didn't seem fair

Let's get the spaceships & boards... surf's up on Mars!!

Such a letdown. I was hoping for upheaval, chaos, mayhem, fire falling from the sky, seas turning to blood, dogs and cats living together...

"The doom_mongers were right, yesterday has gone, it is a new awakening today."

I realize that this seems like a funny statement to many. But it is really just a statement of ignorance of what the significance of the event may mean. I am unaware of anyone saying that something was going to happen immediately. I am aware of it being referred to as a sign... but not an event shattering happening in itself. The sign just points to something.

But it is typical of mockers to handle it this way. As things do happen they won't see or understand them anyways. The same one who mentioned this (One Jesus) also said people would just go about doing their everyday things as though all is well. That word is shown to be true by this thread.

Might want to check that out.

I donīt have presentable pictures of this blood moon, because it was to high over the horizon to put a nice object in the foreground.

This picture was taken at June 15, 2011 at the Philippine village Sabang, Puerto Galera:

The concept of signs holds true for things like, "It is a sign that Spring is on the way" , and other natural phenomenon like that. A sign the world is ending? Seems as if that one is hard to agree on. I will say that the world will end someday but I think that mankind will have eliminated himself long before that time arrives.

I threw this together last night, it really was pretty cool to watch.

Hey Ronald...

The signs weren't spoken by just some drifter. But, regardless, this is one of those discussions that veers off into the religious realm by default and in that gray zone that gets picked and chosen at leisure.

It seems to me that there are many who have no problem with attacking fellow artists (those of faith) by way of slight, and without concern over whether or not they are being offensive. Yet when something pretty straightforward like this:

Acts 2:20

"The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and notable day of the Lord come" and then elaboration begins, we are now into a real religious discussion because the "unmentionable" has been put right out there. The same folks get up in arms! There are groups for that!

I'm just laughing at the pretense and musing over the application of FAA law. :)

As for the moon itself, It was amazing how many people were crowded into parks and pulled to the side of the roads in Laguna and the surrounding hillsides to watch the event.

Glenn, that was quite interesting I had to drive over to my wife's school about twenty minutes prior to the start and there were already people everywhere! I can understand the FAA's stance on certain topics such as religion. For example lets say I spent the next three months coming up with solid arguments concerning why your beliefs are not correct, would that change anything in your mind? Conversely the opposite is also true, beliefs tend to be very firmly entrenched, and it is very unlikely we will change each others minds. Now toss in many more views and you have a situation that could get quite out of hand. FAA has chosen the easy safe route which is the topic is simply off the table.

I understand the stance... just the way it is employed that makes me chuckle.

As for persuasion... without discussion persuasion becomes very limited. So we have a bit of a difference of opinion over whether or not minds can be changed.

I've seen thousands changed. Mine is one of them.

Glenn, perhaps but over the years what I have mostly seen is that people who are born or raised with certain beliefs tend to keep them. Guessing you are no longer a spring chicken and as such have fairly made up your mind by this point, as have I. I do know some people who were raised in a highly religious background who became atheist and I know some who were raised in a non believing family who became highly religious but I tend to think the norm is what you were raised with is what you remain. You say you have seen thousands changed? Hard to argue with such non statistics like that but still makes me curious how many changed from religious to non-religious?

Scanning world populations and generally different religions are entrenched in different locations throughout the world. Some religions are on the rise, some are stable and some are in decline so your point on minds changing seems to be on point. Still with Islam being on the rise, as an example, there is only roughly a 2% population in the US. Atheist and agnostics are in decline, this would seem to me to indicate at least most of these people are becoming Christians (At least in the US) which is what one would expect.

I tend to think everyone is religious in a sense... even if they don't want to be thought of in that term. Statistics? Who needs statistics? Life itself is being lived out right in front of you? They're good to be thrown out the door. Even your own words testify to that.

Paul was a charliton!
of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but God only.


Where is that guy who told use the earth was going to be struck by a comet on the 24th?

Could be right Glenn. The dude is on a vacation of sorts. (The 24th doomsday dude)
