The first lunar eclipse of the year 2000. (Bet you thought I was going to say millennium.) I would've had a great view at work, but unfortunately it was overcast during the entire event in downtown Seattle that night. . . darn(!) |
Astronomy Picture Of The Day is a fascinating site, providing a new image every day, with in-depth explanation and related links. |
Carl Sagan has had an enormous impact on how I perceive the Universe and Humanity's place within it. His ability to explain scientific concepts in plain English is unparalleled. He was founder and first president of the Planetary Society. His book and PBS mini-series, Cosmos, pretty much laid everything on the line, from the origin of the Universe to the origin of the Human species and everything in between and beyond. . . . Thanks, Carl, for sharing with us your unique perspective and extraordinary vision. . . May God rest your enlightened soul. |

This was no small feat; the technology involved was actually invented along the way. The Apollo Lunar Surface Journal gives a detailed look into what took place when we went to the Moon.
