Today! For a few hours, today, I mean Dec. 20 the moon will be in the shadow of our planet, Earth. Yep, you heard it folks, we are talking here about a total lunar eclipse. Unlike those of the sun, where the totality of the eclipse can be seen only in certain parts of the planet, the total lunar eclipse can be seen from anywhere. Of course, if no clouds get in the way.
The total phase of the upcoming event will be visible across all of North and South America, as well as the northern and western part of Europe, and a small part of northeast Asia, including Korea and much of Japan.
A small scallop of darkness will begin to appear on the moon's left edge at 6:33 UT (on Dec. 21) corresponding to 1:33 a.m. EST or 10:33 p.m. PST (on Dec. 20).
So keep your eyes peeled for some spectacular scene tonight [it might be red-colored in some places]

John Lennon - Still alive..
..in our hearts. Thirty years ago, in this very day, John Lennon was shot four times outside his apartment in New York by someone whose name I do not wish to mention here.
Thirty years ago, the man who encouraged and practically led the peace movement, was taken from us. An artist who wanted to change the whole world with nothing but words and ambition, but he did not realize he couldn't do as much as he wanted in too few years. And so, by trying hard and being persistent, people saw him as a visionary [which he was] and a great man who let us with some ideas to follow and the image of his struggle to stop the Vietnam War.
"Imagine", he said; imagine a peaceful world, where no possession counts, where humans are equals. Imagine he was still alive to celebrate his birthday, composing and singing to us.
Long live John.

Weeee
Winter is coming!
Well.. only in Moldova and around the mountains for now, but I'm sure the temperatures will drop soon and snow will fall.
