TWO IN ONE

People across Abu Dhabi and all throughout the world witnessed the second total lunar eclipse of the year. Astronomers predicted that the moon would become red at the time of total eclipse. Across UAE the eclipse begins at 3.33pm (UAE time) but the moon started to appear at estimated 6pm and the entire eclipse ended at 9.30pm. The eclipse was seen all over Asia and Australia Eastern Europe, and North America. This was the second total eclipse of the year to be clearly visible in the UAE.

This second total eclipse was phenomenal because of this time was the start of meteor shower at Gemonids, the maximum number of showers will be seen on December 13 of this year.

Back to eclipse, since earlier times people saw moon turned into a red ball, this happened when the Earth's atmosphere filters out most of the blue colored light during the eclipse  and leaving only orange and red colors to reach the human eyes.

Lunar eclipse occurs when Earth lines up directly between the sun and the moon, blocking the sun's rays and throwing a shadow on the moon.

I was having a walk with my friend this 5th day of December 2011. The sky was clear, the temperature was cold and the wind was bit strong that carries this cold weather. It was lovely day, a nice time to have talk and reflection.
