Solar Eclipse

A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, thereby totally or partially obscuring Earth's view of the Sun. This configuration can only occur during a new moon, when the Sun and Moon are in conjunction as seen from the Earth.

Total solar eclipses are very rare events for any given place on Earth because totality is only seen where the Moon's umbra touches the Earth's surface. A total solar eclipse is a spectacular natural phenomenon and many people consider travel to remote locations in order to observe one.

The next total solar eclipse will occur on August 1, 2008, but an annular eclipse is scheduled for February 7, 2008

Types of solar eclipses

A total eclipse occurs when the Sun is completely obscured by the Moon. The intensely bright disk of the Sun is replaced by the dark silhouette of the Moon, and the much fainter corona is visible. During any one eclipse, totality is visible only from at most a narrow track on the surface of the Earth.

An annular eclipse occurs when the Sun and Moon are exactly in line, but the apparent size of the Moon is smaller than that of the Sun. Hence the Sun appears as a very bright ring, or annulus, surrounding the outline of the Moon.

A hybrid eclipse is intermediate between a total and annular eclipse. At some points on the surface of the Earth it is visible as a total eclipse, whereas at others it is annular. Hybrid eclipses are rather rare.

A partial eclipse occurs when the Sun and Moon are not exactly in line, and the Moon only partially obscures the Sun. This phenomenon can usually be seen from a large part of the Earth outside of the track of an annular or total eclipse. However, some eclipses can only be seen as a partial eclipse, because the umbra never intersects the Earth's surface.

During the year 2008, two solar and two lunar eclipses occur as follows:

• 2008 Feb 07: Annular Solar Eclipse
• 2008 Feb 21: Total Lunar Eclipse
• 2008 Aug 01: Total Solar Eclipse
• 2008 Aug 16: Partial Lunar Eclipse

Total Lunar Eclipse

The next total lunar eclipse will take place on 21 February, 2008 and will be visible throughout most of the Americas as well as western Europe.

A lunar eclipse occurs whenever the Moon passes through some portion of the Earth’s shadow (the moon gets behind the earth or the sun, earth, and then the moon). This can occur only when the Sun, Earth, and Moon are aligned exactly, or very closely so, with the Earth in the middle. Hence, the Moon is always full the night of a lunar eclipse. The type and length of an eclipse depend upon the Moon's location relative to its orbital nodes.

The most recent total lunar eclipse was on 28 August 2007 where the Sun, Earth and Moon were in total alignment. . Eastern Australia and New Zealand were in the perfect zone to view the total lunar eclipse or "blood Moon"

A lunar eclipse occurs at least two times a year, whenever some portion of the Earth's shadow falls upon the Moon. The Moon will always be full during a lunar eclipse; that is, from the perspective of the Sun, the Moon will be directly behind the Earth.

A Wild Party

Relative Existence
A combination of microscopic particles
Living together in cohesiveness
With a wild party now and then

So let the music start
And energy level rise
Swirling, Whirling
Getting higher and higher
Until randomness is maximum
And sheer joy is at its peak

But what is a human,
Destined only to die
Born into sin and servitude
But oneday the spirit of God
Became flesh and blood
And salvation was born
And eternity reclaimed

My spirit forever transformed,
My blood forever cleansed,
Immortality exchanged.
Now I will live forever
Body, spirit and soul

So until then I wait,
My spirit refreshed and renewed,
Until my body is transformed
And eternity and reality collide

Prologue

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God
and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning.

All things were created through Him,
and apart from Him not one thing was created that has been created.
Life was in Him, and that life was the light of men.

That light shines in the darkness, yet the darkness did not overcome it.
There was a man named John who was sent from God.
He came as a witness to testify about the light,
so that all might believe through him.

He was not the light, but he came to testify about the light.
The true light, who gives light to everyone,
was coming into the world.

He was in the world, and the world was created through Him,
yet the world did not recognize Him. He came to His own,
and His own people did not receive Him.

But to all who did receive Him,
He gave them the right to be children of God,
to those who believe in His name, who were born,
not of blood, or of the will of the flesh,
or of the will of man,
but of God.

The Word became flesh and took up residence among us.
We observed His glory,
the glory as the One and Only Son from the Father,
full of grace and truth.

(John testified concerning Him and exclaimed,
"This was the One of whom I said,
'The One coming after me has surpassed me,
because He existed before me. ' ")

Indeed, we have all received grace after grace
from His fullness,
for although the law was given through Moses;
grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.

No one has ever seen God.

The One and Only Son —
the One who is at the Father's side —
He has revealed Him.

John 1:1-18

Destiny: Choice or Chance

Destiny is a predetermined path that a person takes through the course of his life. Destiny is our fate as it is predetermined by God in heaven. But we also have an effect on what path we choose to follow in life. God gave man a freewill which means he/she always has a choice in all matters in his life. You choose to accept your Destiny or reject it.

God has placed life and death before us and our every choice determines which path we choose. At the end of it Life or Death is waiting.
