Past few days , people around US have been having outages. First was ATT and their 3g network...but how come different people in different parts of the country also suffered outage on their ATT home service .... So lets move on... past ATT problems, COMCAST have been suffering outages...again in different parts out the US.
What would cause it?
The only thing that comes to my mind is magnetic storm . When Magnetic storm occurs it could disrupt satellites, cell-phones and GPS devices....
I've always thought that people log onto Facebook to show off. Pointless status' and way to many pictures. I especially dislike when someone does a photo shoot of themselves in their bathroom with the lens pointed towards their bathroom mirror or sitting in their car and they take about 50 pictures of themselves, and then feel the need to upload every single photo.
"We found that people who are narcissistic use Facebook in a self-promoting way that can be identified by others," said lead author Laura Buffardi, a doctoral student in psychology who co-authored the study with associate professor W. Keith Campbell. http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2008-09/uog-sfp092208.php
Today, June 15, 2011, will bring a spectacular, and rare, total lunar eclipse that will be visible all across the Eastern Hemisphere, from start to finish in some places, which is a real bonus for avid sky watchers and the general public alike as not all eclipses of the Moon are so conveniently timed. So, with the eclipse being visible all over such a wide area, what can one expect to see, skies permitting.
At first glance to people not familiar with astronomy, the phases near totality may not look that different than any thin crescent Moon, except that the thin crescent is high in the sky and not near the horizon. However, the other partial stages produce some strange looking Moons that cannot be seen at any other time.
When the Moon first enters the umbra (the dark part of the Earth's shadow), a slight, rounded corner of the Moon will start to disappear into shadow. As time progresses, the shaded, curved section of the Moon will get larger and larger,looking like an unnaturally fat crescent until the Moon nears full coverage, at which point the Moon looks like a familiar thin crescent except for it's high in the sky location. However the real treat comes at totality, or full coverage.
A few minutes before totality, the Moon will the on a distinctly reddish hue. Why? The sunlight coming through the atmosphere is scattered by the particles, both natural and man-made, floating in the air. Result: the most wavelengths of color are reflected away from the Moon, except for the reds, which continue on and fall on the Moon, thus giving it the shade of color unique to eclipses. In total, totality of this eclipse will last a little over an hour and a half, the longest in 11 years, before the Moon starts to move out of the umbra, thus beginning a reverse partial stage.
Now, where to see the eclipse?
The great news is that, since this is an event involving the Moon, the eclipse can be observed from anywhere, even in brightly lit city. However, to get the full impact of the eclipse, traveling out to the country is a good idea. Anyone who has ever been out in a dark field on a moonless night knows how dark it can be and how night seemingly turns to day the moment a Full Moon peeks over the horizon. Well, in a total lunar eclipse, things will work in reverse as the bright, Moonlit sky will essentially become a dark, Moonless night as totality nears. Basically, the effect must be seen to be believed, so try and get out to the country if at all possible tonight.
Do not have sex during the lunar eclipse! in the Hindu culture
In the Hindu shastras, this event is considered to be an extremely inauspicious one, and consequently, the eclipses or grahas are believed to be a sign of bad omen,” says Mumbai-based astrologer and tarot card reader Dr Soniyaa Bhagiyaa.
Bhagiyaa lists down a string of precautionary dos and don’ts for believers to follow on this occasion.
* Do not sleep, eat or drink in the entire duration between 12.53 am to 3.33 am.
* Do not indulge in any kind of togetherness, including sexual intimacy
* Do not make use of scissors, knives, and needles
* Do not touch images and idols of deities
* Take bath at the start and end of the eclipse
* Do not subject yourself to any kind of entertainment
* Pregnant women are advised to not even watch the eclipse
* Chanting mantras or prayers will guarantee success because of the positive aura at the time of the eclipse
* Deeds of charity will bear fruits
