Inspirations for Full Moon Eclipse,Solstice & Christmas

A lunar eclipse, when the earth comes between the sun and moon, is an opportunity for us to see the earth's shadow advancing over the moon..

 Excerpts from news sources:

A total lunar eclipse will occur on December 21, according to NASA. It will be visible after midnight EST on December 21 in North and South America. The beginning of the total eclipse will be visible from northern Europe just before sunrise. The end of the total eclipse will be visible rising at sunset for Japan and northeastern Asia, it also appears very visible to the Philippines just after sunset (as in Partial lunar eclipse). It will be the first total lunar

eclipse in nearly 3 years, the last being on February 20, 2008.

This is special in many ways

"NASA Announces Lineup For Total Eclipse Of The Moon"

For a little trivia on a winter solstices lunar eclipse, NASA says that the last time one happened was in 1378.

Astronomy magazine is hosting an “On-line Star Party” at its website "Total Lunar Eclipse on Winter Solstice - December 20/21" for those of you who would rather stay home and enjoy the show.

 there is also another notable meteor shower that occurs during December that, in contrast, hardly gets much notice at all: the December Ursids. The peak of this meteor display usually occurs on the night of Dec. 22 to Dec. 23.

 While the Ursids would normally be difficult to see during this time because of bright light from the full moon, the rare upcoming total lunar eclipse may provide a special chance to catch a glimpse of the Ursid meteor shower.

Those of us in the northern hemisphere are just eight days away from the winter solstice. During this time of year people from traditions around the planet have long rejoiced in the return of the sun, and with it new life. India’s Diwali and Thailand’s Loy Krathong both are ancient festivals of light, brightening the heart of winter. December 25 (solstice under the Julian Calendar) was such a high holiday in Roman times that Christians chose it to honor the birth of Jesus, drawing on older rituals and traditions to express their sense of gratitude and wonder.

For some a season of snow, while for others, a season in the sun! "The first fall of snow is not only an event, it is a magical event.

"What we’re asking here is pray, just pray. Pray… Pray… Pray… Gaia needs your prayers. Just pray with total surrender, in complete faith… and that prayer collectively done – at least 1,000 or 1,500 people, done at the same time, will generate the positive healing energy for all of us. Not asking for anyone special, not even for the betterment of general life. Nothing… Just surrender and praying.
