    Or are we just organic bio spheres for bacteria and virus to explore existence with?

    Consciousness being little more than a self sustaining maintenance program for the cruise liner?

    Buddhism as a sub routine to offer some evolutionary diversity?

    Ships programmed to be physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually self sealing through hostile environments?

    Or a total dynamic indescribable way the universe experiences itself. The mind reels as it tries to make sense of everything. But there is just this... Incredible dance going on. <3

    Yes, not sure if I'll stay awake for it though - starting at about 1am in the UK?

  • WalkerWalker Veteran Veteran

    Yes

  • We may not be able to see the stars in these parts, but a lunar eclipse - OH BOY!

    Woah, the moon is really blood red.

    Not that spectacular here. Too much light pollution maybe. Still neat to see though.

    It looks 'dusty' -- not so reddish. It's lower in the sky so there's a couple of trees that's blocking my view from the best window in the house to see it from.

    Cloudy here. Couldn't see a thing. :angry: we're pouting as we stomp up the driveway.

  • bookwormbookworm U.S.A. Veteran

    Now it looks more like a gemstone rather then a moon.

    Actually, the moon looks more like a dark pearl.

  • It looked like cloud cover would close the show down when the Moon emerged in full eclipse. I found all your descriptions accurate. Seeing it through partial cloud cover gave it a kind of dusty look as well.
    It then vanished behind the clouds only to reemerge later as a bright Moon in partial eclipse. It was beautiful in both modes. <3

    Peace to all

    As the moon rose higher above the trees and the eclipse was starting to pass, it was quite clear by then. Crystal. Then some whispy clouds moved in and made a rusty red halo around the moon and it was beautiful.

    I was looking at the moon through a telescope last year, surprised at how many craters there actually are, it's had a real battering - I assume because there is no atmosphere to burn up the meteors?

  • It's also because Earth has weather and geological processes that gradually erode the craters. There is a massive one in the Gulf of Mexico, I think, that was only discovered fairly recently and is thought to have been responsible for a mass extinction.

    @Susanna said:> It's also because Earth has weather and geological processes that gradually erode the craters.

    Yes, good point, that's a big factor. I admit I quite like those Hollywood disaster movies about meteors. ;)

    By the way, there may be Martians after all....

  • Maybe so, but there is no ice cream, tea, coffee or scones. :o
    If life is found on Mars you can bet PETA will be sending a rep. ;)

    I wouldn't be in the slightest bit surprised, you know, I really wouldn't.

    I watched a TV documentary on multi-verses recently. It's mind boggling stuff, particularly the quantum multi-verse where reality is continually splitting as we make choices. Another possibility is that there are an infinite number of universes "surrounding" our one, some of which will be very similar to ours. Or our universe is just one small bubble in something much infinitely large.
    Apparently there is growing support for the idea of infinite space, which would mean our observable universe ( approx. 90 billion light years in diameter ) is just a tiny fraction of what is "out there". The first formless jhana is the experience of infinite space, but that might just be a spooky co-incidence. ;)
