1. Total Eclipse (Eclipses, Occultations and Transit) -- Total Lunar Eclipses
   All observations of the Total Lunar Eclipse that are received from Astronomy On-Line Groups will be compared by the EAAE European Student Project Group. Some days later, they will be published in a joint article with tables in the Astronomy On-Line Newspaper, together with an evaluation of the results. Remember, your Group and your results will ... be mentioned here, if you send in the measurements.
2. Lunar Phase -- Lunar Phase Pro
   Lunar Phase Pro is a moon observer's software toolkit designed to help you learn about the Moon and make your lunar observing sessions more productive. It produces a calendar of moon phases amongst many other features. By using the integrated observation planning tools and the general lunar data presented on screen, you'll be able to easily plan for an observing session and be productive while observing. LunarPhase Pro contains a wide range of features, all integrated together into one low cost solution. No other lunar software package matches the range of tools included.
3. Thales -- Eclipses
   The dates of Thales' life are not known precisely. There are two traditions: one that he lived to be about 90, and the other, about 80. The time of his life is roughly established by a few dateable events mentioned in the sources and an estimate of his length of life. According to Herodotus (1.74) Thales predicted a solar eclipse, which has been determined by modern methods to have been on May 28, 585 BC. Pliny's (Natural History 2.53) places it in 584.
4. Total Eclipse (Eclipses, Occultations and Transit)
   This is the first total lunar eclipse seen from Algeria since Octobre 28 2004. It will be seen through all its phases in Algeria as in mostof Europe and Africa. Check for more details on this beautiful phenomenon.
5. Total Eclipse (Eclipses, Occultations and Transit) -- Earths
   When the Moon's shadow hits the Earth and the Moon is close to the Earth, then a Total eclipse is visible along the narrow path of Totality. (A Partial eclipse occurs on either side of the path of Totality). For a Total eclipse, the Moon can appear to be as much as 6.5% larger than the Sun. The maximum duration of Totality is 7m 31s. Eclipses over seven minutes long are rare; only three occurred during the 20th Century and none are expected in the 21st Century. Longer eclipses tend to occur nearer the tropics.
6. Lunar Phase -- Moon
   The end of this phase is ... the end of the entire Lunar Cycle. It leads into the next New Moon. The day before the New Moon requires total abandonment, total surrender, in order to allow the next Lunar Theme to sprout in its purity. Let go of all fears, worries, and self-judgment. Become empty, a clear vessel. This is a great time to just play and have fun.
7. Total Eclipse (Eclipses, Occultations and Transit) -- Total Eclipse Of The Moon
   A total eclipse of the Moon takes place on the evening of Tuesday 28 August. The Moon starts moving into the Earth's shadow at 6:51 pm Eastern Standard Time (EST) and is full immersed in the shadow at 7:52 pm. Totality is over at 9:23 pm and the eclipse ends at 10:24 pm. For people in the eastern half of Australia the whole eclipse is visible while for people in the west the eclipse starts with the rising of the partially eclipsed moon. People in the westernmost parts of Western Australia have the dramatic sight of the reddened totally eclipsed Moon at moonrise.
8. Moon -- Lunar Prospector
   Because the Moon is so far away, it is hard to measure exactly where things on it are. The Visible and Elevation layers were created using images and data that were aligned to the The Unified Lunar Control Network 2005, the most up-to-date understanding of exactly where things are on the Moon, created by the experts at the U.S. Geological Survey. These maps are designed for mission planning, but they will probably still need to be updated once the next generation of lunar mapping satellites arrive at the Moon.
9. Total Eclipse (Eclipses, Occultations and Transit) -- Totality
   [One] layer of the sun’s atmosphere visible during a total eclipse is the chromosphere. It lies between the photosphere and the corona. Invisible in full daylight, the chromosphere appears as a thin red arc for a few seconds at the beginning and near the end of totality. From the chromosphere are seen red flame-like structures called prominences. These arcs of fluorescing hydrogen gas follow field lines which usually propagate from magnetically active regions in the photosphere, where sunspots can often be found. Larger prominences, such as the ones seen during the July 1991 total solar eclipse, can be viewed with the unaided eye, but here ... binocular and telescopic views will enhance the enjoyment.
10. Total Eclipse (Movie) -- West Africa
    People in Europe, Africa or the Middle East, who had the best view of the last total lunar eclipse in March, will not see this one because the moon will have set when the partial eclipse begins at 4:51 a.m. EDT. The full eclipse will begin an hour later at 5:52 a.m. EDT.
