About me:

My career
When I was about nine years old, I dreamed to become a Astronaut and collected some space pictures and toys. It is not until two years ago when I went here in the U.S. that I am very sure on what I want to be. I was fifteen years old when I watched a Space Shuttle launch on T.V.It was amazing and inspiring that I set on my goal to be the one inside on the shuttle, a Astronaut someday. After about two months or more, I got into Astronomy and began to learn the sky then I bought my first telescope, then my second. I love observing and taking picture of the night and day sky with my telescope and camera. So I opened my self to astrophotography and been to other websites which they posted my Astro pictures there. Now that I am in college, all my dreams are coming true but still far from my greatest goal and that is to be a Professional Astronomer and to be the first Filipino Astronaut(the second or third would be great).I want to travel someday on the Moon, Mars and beyond. What ever it takes, I am dedicated to it but for now, I am focusing with my studies, our Astronomy club here(which we started last year) and my goals. I still need to finish all Physics and Math classes here until I transfer next year. It will be a exciting journey but even if I fail, I will try and try until I succeed.

| Subject | Moon Eclipse |
If the sky is clear, we plan on having a Lunar Eclipse Party at the observatory in Ionia on Monday evening, December 20th, through the night until early Tuesday morning. This is a great time of year to view an eclipse of the moon as it will be high in the winter sky in the constellation of Taurus and almost dead center in the asterism of the "winter hexagon". This will make for a great photo opportunity so try not to miss it! The time details below are taken fromhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/December_2010_lunar_eclipse
and those for us here in the eastern US are highlighted in red. The total phase is in bold type. A reminder will follow in mid December.
During the total phase, the color of the moon can vary greatly depending on the conditions of the Earth's atmosphere. It will be interesting to see what shade of copper it will be this year with all of the volcanic dust that the light must pass through from the eruptions in Indonesia. Come on down and bring your camera!
Again, it all depends on the weather but if it cooperates, we'll have a number of buildings open with the education center heated through the night. We hope to have a live video feed of the eclipse into the classroom and chairs will be set up on the deck for those who are dressed for the cold weather. There will be coffee, hot chocolate and cookies available but feel free to bring whatever snacks you like. The kitchen has a microwave if you need it. The lounge will also be available for anyone wishing to bring a VHS tape or DVD movie to help pass the time.

I took have seen a double vision of the moon just this past tuesday, it looks like the moon and a half. it was a full moon not a crescent and the half that looked strange was almost transparent but it wasn't and it had a throbing when I stared at it long..I am a christian and saved through christ our lord I believe it's a sign I've had visions since being saved..and it's no reflection of crystals I've seen it since last year when the moon is full..bmike
