Yes!!!

Local news reported yesterday that there will be a once in a lifetime 5-Space-Event that can be seen this day, May 5 at 3:00 AM.
And these events were:

1. Lunar Eclipse (up t0 100% totality in Asian countries)
2. Meteor Shower (thousands can be seen)
3. Several Comet Apparitions (2-3 comets are visible)
4. Alignment of the Four Planets (Mars, Venus, Saturn, and Jupiter)
5. Constellations in firework exhibition.

Well, considering that I am located in Asia, I witnessed the first three events and I missed the two since I couldn't recognize which planet is which... and the fifth event sounds common since every night the stars tend to be like fireworks in the sky. But astronomers noted that it is unusual since stars during that event are prominent in displaying different bright colors. Actually, I noticed last night that the skies were indeed colorful.

I've seen the moon turned dark orange or red...
I've seen 15 shooting stars
...and I've seen two comets...

All happened in just one night.

wow.

Is this a signal that the world is going to end

i haven't noticed anything... *feels blind*

not today....but probably "The Day After Tomorrow"

but, 'Tommorrow never comes', because although tommorrow is thursday, when it gets to Thursday, 'tommorrow' will be Friday.

so much for my pun about the movie that coming out...depicting the end of the world.

Now you're getting all philosophical on me.

Besides...there are far more important events to celebrate than Space Events.

duh! Today is Cinco de Mayo!!!

uh. what's that??

Does it mean the fifth of may?

woah woah woah.... something got moved from the OTF to the GDF?

RJr, you sound surprised.......

And yay!! Cinco de Mayo!!

*eats five jars of mayonnaise*

So from Space Events to Cinco de Mayo !

Wow...that is pretty off topic.

Maybe we should start talking about the 4th of July as wel !!
