| Total Earth Eclipse on moon (courtesy of Lucien Rudaux) |
A rare total earth eclipse can be observed from the moon on 15 June 2011 20:12 UTC (16 June 03:12am Malaysia/Singapore time) yet no one can afford to travel easily to the moon for this observation. Back on the earth, continents from Africa to Singapore is fortunate to be able to observe rare total "central" lunar eclipse this month. Top 3 reasons why you should enjoy this rare phenomena.
1. The last total "central" lunar eclipse happened on 16 July 2000. The last total lunar eclipse occurred on 21 Dec last year was not central to the earth.
2. Next total lunar eclipse (not central) only happens on 10 Dec 2011 and 15 April 2014 etc.
3. Feel like having insomnia in Malaysia and Singapore at this particular period of time (00:23-06:02am 16 June 2011) :P
Last but not least if you bring along your ipad2 or laptop, you can also watch Malaysian government web portals being hacked by "Anonymous" at this hour too (0330am to be precise).
