Lunar Esclipse Tonight

Yes... the 28th august.
However Moon become red because of the phenomenon of the light's diffraction... light's wave is broken up by our atmosphere and the red wave is the only one that is able to invade the shadow cone.

Nope... lunar eclipses are more frequent! About every 5 years... but some of them are only partial, and not all of them are visible from our hemisphere.
Solar eclipses are very rare! Once every hundred years... last visible was in 1999. The next visible from Europe will be in 2081 :cry:
And I've read that the 16th may 2227 there will be one total solar eclipse with a magnitude of 100% over the Tuscany!!! Where I live!!! But in 2227 I will not be here :cry:

Theres probably going to be a WW before 2100. Australia is going to take over

 

Why do you think Australia will take over the world?

 

I have no idea. I said a random country

Most likely North Korea will try.

 

Ya I guess. They were testing those long range nuclear missles a while ago, but I haven't heard anything about that in a while.
