Supermoon total lunar eclipse happens this weekend

This weekend you'll have lots of reasons to look up to sky: we're about to get a rare supermoon total lunar eclipse.

Moon Landings Weren't Faked Because...

A couple decades ago, my grandfather died, believing that Men never actually put foot on the Moon. And that same belief still endures today, with a large(ish) number of people continually trying to make a case against the moon landing videos - even though all their claims have been dismissed by logical explanations, time and time again... should they stop to consider it rationally for a second or two.

Anyway, now there's another video hitting the web, going at it on a completely different way: the key point in this "Moon Hoax Not" video by S G Collins is that the Moon landings weren't faked because... it simply wasn't technically possible to fake it back then, in 1969.

So... what's your take on this?

If you're not to keen on looking up to night sky, be sure to make an exception tomorrow, March 19th, 2011.

The Moon will be at its closest point to Earth, making it 14% bigger than it is at its furthest point, and offering us an amazing super-sized Moon.

The last time this happened was 18 years ago. So, be sure not to miss this opportunity to see a large splendid Moon.


Update: Here's how the moon is out there today...

Isn't it incredible what the kind of photos you can grab these days, with a simple digital camera? (And it's just a regular hand-held photo, no tripods or anything else but the in-camera image stabilization holding it all together... :)

We Choose the Moon

To celebrate the 40th anniversary of the amazing Apollo 11 space mission that took us to the moon, the site wechoosethemoon.org will recreate it step by step, in real time.

Highly recommended for everyone: those old enough to remember that adventure from their youth, as well as everyone else that can now experience that "small step for Men, a giant leap for Mankind." :)
