🌕 Look up on August 27!

A deep partial lunar eclipse is coming to the Bay Area, with 96% of the Moon slipping into Earth’s shadow at maximum eclipse.

🌕 Moonrise: 7:35 p.m.
🌑 Maximum eclipse: 9:12 p.m.
🌕 Partial eclipse ends: 10:51 p.m.

A total solar eclipse occurs when the Sun, Moon, and Earth are precisely aligned.

It's one of nature's rarest and most beautiful spectacles.

Are we the only intelligent civilization in the universe? 🧠

Scientists have debated this question for years, and there are many fascinating possibilities why we have yet to hear from any cosmological neighbors.

Back when I occasionally traveled to Puerto Rico, Continental told me that I should arrive earlier for an international flight.
Was told this airline considered flight international, even though it was in US

This is the #SuperBowl that matters the most. Could we perhaps come up with the will and the funds to rebuild it? Seriously; if we are going to be shooting down "#UFOs" every few days; it makes a lot of sense to kickstart the work of #SETIInstitute before we inadvertently start an interstellar fight we can't finish.
