Eclipse or the end of life

Sun, Moon, planets! they are so esoteric for me. I know that today's science makes big improvement in this topic but there is still something what we don't know exactly. That is really fascinating! People have been interested in these themes since the pass. I think that we all know that people had different theories about our Earth and space. They thought that our Earth was centre of space and everything was rotating around it. Then there were theories about modality of our planet; that Earth was some design of "slapjack" or "slab". Today we know true. We know what the reason of variation day and night is. But can you imagine the reactions of people in the pass when they saw first eclipse? They thought that it is the end of life or that some gods are angry with them. Anyway I want to say that today's technology, science, analyses or calculations can say more and make humanity ready for different situation. Of course we don't know everything yet but we know date of the next lunar eclipse. When? It is going to happen on Wednesday, 20th February, 2008. A lunar eclipse occurs when the moon passes into Earth's shadow. The moon will start to enter the darkest part of Earth's shadow at 8.43p.m. EST. Total eclipse will be from 10.01p.m. to 10.51p.m. We can watch it with the naked eye from 8.43p.m. to 10.01p.m. The moon will take red color that is effect of light which is bent by Earth's atmosphere and combination of light from sunsets and sunrises. An eclipse is credited with saving the life if Christopher Columbus and his crew in 1504. The next eclipse will be on December 21, 2010.
