Did you watch the Lunar Eclipse last night? I didn't get to see it. What is the difference between a lunar and solar eclipse?

• The next one is August 28th. Every part of the U.S. except the west coast will see it, all but the east coast of Australia, most of India, and Asia will get a chance as well. Sorry European friends :( http://sunearth.gsfc.nasa.gov/eclipse/OH/OH2007.html

• Thanks for the heads up Darkling. Annie Dillard wrote that Nature is gift and all you have to do is show up at the right time! We get by with a little help from our friends.!

• Actually, a solar eclipse is when the moon casts a shadow over the sun. The moon is between the sun and the earth.

• Surely you must be used to feeling under seige if you are a lawyer. A courtroom can be quite the battleground. :) Darkling: Okay that makes sense, thanks! I wish I could have seen it too. Congrats on finishing all that paperwork--did you do the cartwheel?

• You don't need to know all about an eclipse to appreciate it.
