TOTAL LUNAR ECLIPSE: The Blood Moon

Before the Blood Moon, further developments involving your president, PUS#47, Donald Trump. Just off the wire,  Judge William Alsup of Northern California, appointed by President Bill Clinton, ruled that many fired by Trump in six federal agencies be rehired .  I guess the administration will appeal, so they remain out of a job until the Supreme Court eventually rules.  Remember that the judicial system has no enforcement capability, so they have no power to enforce their rules.  As long as Trump controls the Department Defense, he does not have to follow any judicial judgement.  He can then be called a dictator.  Let's see what happens.

THE NEARLY PERFECT POLITICAL STORM

Starts at 10:02PM Hawaii time, turns blood red at 12:16PM, stays this dark reddish-copper color for 85 minutes, and ends at 3:46AM.  Duration:  5 hours, 42 minutes. And you can watch without wearing any safety glasses, which are required for solar eclipses. You would think that New York, which is now 5 hours ahead of Hawaii, would end at 8:36 AM when the sun would have been up for 2 hours.  But eclipses don't work that way.  For New York: Begins at 3:02 AM. Peaks at 5:59AM. Ends at 6:41AM, with the sun rising just before at 6:35AM Duration:  3 hours, 39 minutes. Thus, Hawaiians will see the whole lunar eclipse longer than anyone else. The next total eclipse will occur on 14March2025. No one won the  Powerball $1.6 billion  Saturday night. You needed to have white balls 28,45,53,56 and 69, plus ...
