Ridiculous thread.

I presume you mean the apocolypse?

theres ment to be an eclipse at 1am to 5am I think?

EDIT: found this on another forum:

For all those people who would like to try their hand at capturing a lunar eclipse, there will be one on 21st of Feb.

The whole thing will take from around 01:00 to 06:30 with the moon starting to enter the umbra (the darkest part of the earth's shadow where the moon goes red) at around 02:00 and exiting at around 05:30.
If you just want to get the moon when it looks nice and red, you need to be looking from around 03:00 until 04:00.

The timing isn't very good for us this time, but it does favour our American friends.

just one problem, its the 19th, not the 21st.

[Prick]

Everythings happening in this week.. today at 6pm people were ment to be able to see a satelite or somethign crashing down to earth and on thursday we got a eclipse and according to some other people we got the end of the world!

[Scania]

Its not the moon itsself, unless you got someone with a live feed standing holding a camera you wouldn't see it. Its like a huge orb around the moon, quite far out though. Loads of people are talking about visions of a huge 'circle' round it.

'Could be the space station thing, whatever they've built up there.

6pm was a space satelite crashing down to earth and was ment to look like a star so either it is the moon or they wrongly calculated the arrival time of the satelite
Edit:


An out-of-control US spy satellite the size of a bus is expected to crash to Earth within weeks.
Us technicians say the satellite has lost all power and should plunge out of its orbit and re-enter our atmosphere at the end of February or the beginning of March.
It is not known where on the planet it will hit - or if it will burn up as it enters the atmosphere.
The satellite is feared to contain a significant amount of highly toxic rocket fuel. Experts say it could also contain extremely sensitive security information which America would not want falling into the wrong hands.

The crisis has revived memories of the Skylab drama in1979 when the fiery descent of the 78-ton spaceship sparked panic.
Government agencies around the world are being given up-to-the-minute reports on the satellite by America's National Security Council.
The satellite's mission is secret. But it is believed to be an experimental imagery satellite built by Lockheed Martin and launched in December 2006 from Vandenberg Air Force Base, California. After reaching its orbit, the ground base lost any type of communication and is unable to alter its trajectory towards the Earth's atmosphere.
As a result much of the fuel thought to be onboard has not been burned up. It would be dangerous for anyone coming into contact with it on the ground.
However the presence of the fuel gives a greater chance of the satellite being destroyed on re-entry. The heat may cause the fuel tank to explode, breaking the satellite into smaller, less dangerous, chunks of debris.
Gordon Johndroe, a spokesman for the National Security Council, said: "Appropriate government agencies are monitoring the situation.
"Numerous satellites over the years have come out of orbit and fallen harmlessly.
"We are looking at potential options to mitigate any possible damage this satellite may cause."
He refused to comment when asked if missiles could be used to destroy it.
John Pike, a defence and intelligence expert, said any uncontrolled crashlanding could risk exposure of US secrets.
Spy satellites are normally disposed of through a controlled re-entry into the ocean so that access is restricted.
Mr Pike, director of the defence research group GlobalSecurity.org, estimated that the spacecraft weighs about nine tons and is the size of a small bus.
He said the satellite would create 10 times less debris than the Columbia space shuttle crash in 2003. Jonathan McDowell, an astronomer at the Harvard-Smithsonian Centre for Astrophysics, said" "It's not necessarily dead, but deaf.
"For the most part re-entering spaceisn't a threat because so much of the Earth is empty. But one could say we've been lucky so far."
America uses imagery satellites to gather visual information from space about enemy governments and terror groups. They spy on suspected nuclear sites or militant training camps.
The satellites can also be used to survey damage from hurricanes, fires and other natural disasters.
In 2000, Nasa engineers successfully directed a safe re-orbit of the 17-ton Compton Gamma Ray Observatory. They used rockets aboard the satellite to bring it down in the Pacific Ocean.
In 2002, officials believe a 7,000lb science satellite smacked into the Earth's atmosphere and rained down debris over the Persian Gulf - a few thousand miles from where they first predicted it would fall.
Experts say there are tens of thousands of nuts, bolts, tools, gloves and other junk orbiting the Earth - some of it travelling at 17,500 mph.
There are an estimated 110,000 pieces of junk one centimetre and larger and 8,927 man-made objects which are officially tracked. A tiny speck of paint from a satellite once hit a space shuttle window - digging a crater nearly a quarter-inch wide.
Us Space Command monitors space debris and other objects, reporting directly to NASA.
A total 2,671 of the man-made objects are satellites. Ninety are space probes and 6,096 are mere chunks of debris.
Space Command can spot a baseballsized object up to about 600 miles high.
But at 22,300 miles up, where satellites are positioned, an object has to be the size of a basketball.
What happened the last time..
The world held its breath in July 1979 as US space laboratory Skylab plummeted to Earth.
At one stage Nasa predicted that the world's first space station, including its massive lead radiation shield, would land somewhere "near the edge of Cornwall".
Newspaper headlines in America screamed in Chicken Little-style: "The Skylab is falling! The Skylab is falling."
On July 11, it finally smashed to Earth scattering debris across sparsely populated Western Australia and the southern Indian Ocean. Three teams of astronauts lived in Skylab for up to 84 days testing human endurance during long periods of weightlessness.
Launched in 1973, Skylab was abandoned a year later. It was supposed to stay in orbit until the mid-1980s when the new shuttle would have come to its rescue.
Offices held lotteries on where it would land.
And as it entered the Earth's atmosphere, there were Skylab parties with guests carrying telescopes and binoculars and wearing crash helmets.
In India, flights were banned and the police were put on full alert. One radio station offered £50,000 for the first listener to bring in a piece of debris.
One lawyer advertised "free legal services for people hit by falling pieces of Skylab".
It was tracked over Ascension Island in the South Atlantic as its solar panels were torn off. Searing hot debris lit up the night sky and it was seen from several places in Western Australia.
Since Skylab, mission controllers have brought down dozens of spacecraft and space stations including the huge Russian space station Mir in 2001.

[Chickenblob]

It's perfectly normal for the moon to do this so don't worry. It's mainly because of the cold weather. It has nothing to do with this satellite.

[Scania]

Apparently the Americans are going to try shoot it down tomorrow. (The satellite). No offence to them but they can make a car that handles corners greatly, nevermind shoot something going over 1 million mph. haha

OH LOLZ.

It was the space shuttle which docked with the space station ;) Around 10 mins later there was 2nd one? That was the russian shuttle

that's called a star behind the moon that is quite close

And about the americans shooting missiles, they have launched one this morning and I think they have until Sunday to hit it or the satalite lands anywhere.

so is the moon turning red at around 3am thursday mornin?

[Prick]

Yeah it is, its when the sun, the earth and the moon form a line and which the suns rays pass through the edges of the earth turning the moon red

And thats because it turns red is because something to do with the earths atmosphere only allows certain colours through so thats why its red

Also its gonna be the last lunar eclipse until 2015

and the next total eclipse is going to be I think 2090 in england?

The US might have to delay shooting down a defunct spy satellite on Thursday due to bad weather.

Waves in the Pacific are too big for US warships to get into a correct position to fire a missile at the spacecraft.

Hmm, Interesting.
