Missed it too. Apparently we were told the best place to see it was the Australian east coast.


I saw it. My bloody camera wouldn't cooperate.

What colour was it? Bright orange?

I wonder when the next solar one is.

There was a lunar eclipse last night. I really wanted to see it, but I was too sleepy.

I had better things to do.

Like sleep. :lol:

As many of the major posters in the PPR have already noticed they've been sent a PM from me asking for a one day ceasefire on all religious topics.

It's all about what the PPR used to be - this used to be the websites best and brightest forum, a shining example for all to follow.

But look at it now, people ripping apart each other for no good reason!

We're humans, we can be decent for a day, right?

So basically, everyone who supports the one day ceasefire stand up and be counted.


If you want to take out the "religious" part you'll make this subforum "PP"

It was better in the Pacfic Northwest - here it looked like the moon was covered in blood.

Saw it. Hard to photograph, though.


Oh! I really regret not getting back up for it!

Bird walk alert:

Stargazing was a passing obsession of mine, as a child. I begged my dad for a telescope and he finally brought me one back from Taiwan, where he'd gone on business. We used to subscribe to Sky & Telescope and keep an eye out for interesting things. My dad used to be an engineer at Rocket Research in the '70's (later Pacific ElectroDynamic). His brain was (and is) crammed full of the most interesting facts. We'd stand out on the back lawn while my little sister played in the bushes with her imaginary friends, and I'd ask him question after question about the planets and the stars and outer space.

Of course, one didn't have to ask too many questions. Once you got him going on about one of his interests, you'd be lucky if he stopped talking sometime in the next half hour. People would say "there he goes again :roll: " but I loved it. I'd ask him questions and let him go on however long he pleased. I was hungry and I wanted to know it all. I think I was 12 years old before I managed to ask him a question for which he didn't know the answer by memory. I still remember how shocked I felt when I heard him say, "I don't know--we'll have to look that up." When I saw that scene in The Matrix, where Neo is hooked up to that program that teaches him Kung Fu and all sorts of other things, I thought of my dad telling me about the world. Unforunately my mind is not organized enough to be able to retain such a volume of facts, but it's something I look back on with fondness.

I want a little serious debate in this thread, people. Treat it as if it were a real religious debate thread, without any flames.

I wish I hadn't forgotten to watch out for the eclipse of the moon. Still, one night I saw a "moonbow" so all is not lost.

But it's true! Starbuline is quite the lapdog! Wherever Soph goes, Starbuline follows and obeys. That's why Soph has Star as an admin, she can depend on her to run her crappy forum when no-one else will.

See, two can play at this game.

lol Anubis, you really don't know what you're talking about. When Starbuline's online, I'm usually online as well, so she's not just here to run it while I'm not there. She's admin because it's her site as well. I don't tell her what to do, she doesn't tell me what to do. She can think for herself.

Anubis, I think you should make an acc there and defend yourself.

Really now. Are you so sure of that?

As for making an account, I don't see why I should bother. Sopho would delete it anyway.

I'm not going to make one, end of story.
