good evening when no moon eclipse takes place the earth is exactly between the sun and the moon so you would think that the moon should be in the shadow of the earth but the earth has an atmosphere and the atmosphere of the earth throw some light the light into the shadow so the moon looks threat. and not only is it a beautiful color it is also the longest lunar eclipse of the twenty first century as we mentioned earlier the moon appearing darkest for around one hundred and three minutes why it's so long this time around. that's right it's one hundred and forty minutes this time because the beach of the moon is inclined to what's the orbit of the earth you want to have a movie clips every full moon as you remember it's only two or three years two or three times a year and now this lunar eclipse the moon ghosts strikes through the shadow of the earth and additionally the earth over the moon is of far away from the office so the lunar eclipse is one out of three minutes long this time. but the experience of the event i mean it really depends on where you are in the world right tell us mo

in the sky is a full blood red moon. as it grew more red, they started howling at the moon.e love, with their families, they are picnicking here or eating pizza as they watched the moon. i spoke to some young children who said they turned down a party to come here today. it may have been terrifying in ancient times but here, it seems to be the selfie of choice, a selfie with the red blood itiooi'i. choice, a selfie with the red blood moon. a selfie! absolutely fantastic! as we're watching images from nasa of the blood moon can i just want to become a point with you because i know that the experts don't particularly like that phrase, blood moon. just to spite us why. —— this explained to us why. it was used in ancient times and would not have a full understanding of the astronomical events that were going on around them and then that's understandable you can interpret that and lots of different ways. now we understand nowadays this is because of the moon passing to the earth's shadow and there are some wonderful physics going on. but as just explained he was when it comes to

good evening when no moon eclipse takes place the earth is exactly between the sun and the moon so you would think that the moon should be in the shadow of the earth but the earth has here and the atmosphere of the earth throws sunlight the red light into the shadow so the moon looks threat and not only is it a beautiful color it is also the longest lunar eclipse of the twenty first century as we mentioned earlier the moon appearing darkest for around one hundred and three minutes why it's so long this time around. that's right it's one hundred and three minutes this time because the object of the moon is inclined what's the orbit of the earth you want to have a movie clips every full moon as you remember it's only two or three years two or three times a year now with this new eclipse the moon ghosts trite through the shadow of the earth and definitely the earth over the moon is of far away from the us so the lunar eclipse is one hundred to include minutes long this time. but the experience of the event i mean it really depends on where you are in the world right tell us more about tha

the moon family takes great pride with that. including sean and justin moon.y regard what he did with the "washington times" as the first powerful alternative conservative voice in american media, predating in their minds, the precursor to breitbart, info infowars, the drudge report, whatever. they felt reverend moon never got full credit for that. but by the late 1990's, there was a tell-all book written by one of his daughters-in-law. brian: how many total children? also talk of a third wife in his early days. he and his second wife, they had 14 children. one child died in childbirth. 13 lived into adulthood. three of those children died early in adulthood, one son died in a car accident. another son died of heart complications from alcohol and drugs. a third son committed suicide. the moon family was not absolved from tragedy. brian: he died in 2012, 92 years old. at that point -- before we do that, i want people to see what sean looks like. sean and justin, these two sons, are harvard grads. tom: yes. sean has a harvard extension degree, a b.a., and a mast

because the moon is pretty far away from the earth right now the moon's orbit is not circular. and right now the moon is very close to leave prior end of the ellipse so it's far from earth and therefore takes a longer time than typically to move the earth's shadow colin and that's why it takes so long it can take several minutes longer even once to conditions we had one such extremely long eclipse in the year two thousand but the new century started only in the year two thousand and one and so this will really be the longest one of the century it's called the blood moon as we mentioned this phenomenon it's known for that reason and you know this is now the red planet mars also being visible in the sky near the moon to tell us a little bit more about that and you know how it's impacting the way that we're feeling things it's a total coincidence but the sun test a coincidence because to date the moon is the mars mars is opposite to the sun it's in opposition as we call it in the sun of meat and it's also unusually close to us that means planet mars shines very very bright in the

tom: his proper name is unjin moon, also goes by the american name of sean moon.is one of the sons of reverend moon from the unification church. and reverend moon died in 2012 and left confusing signals on what to do with the church after his passing. his son sean had been tapped by reverend moon a couple of times in ceremonies as his heir and successor, but very amorphous terminology. when exactly do you succeed him? after his death, after his wife dies? and there was a family breakup after that, and eventually sean and his other brother, kukjin, who goes by the name of justin, essentially broke away from the family and founded their own up in pennsylvania. parts of the unification church community have been torn between staying with the main church, which is now headed by reverend moon's wife, or to navigate and travel with the new church. and the new church, as you know from reading the piece, is ideologically quite a bit different from unification church. i am sure we will get into the details on how they are different. brian: for someone who is never heard of

deseret and hell is from the philippines had another question about the moon. how old is the moon. it's a question that has long puzzled scientists and different experts have come to different conclusions but the reason they can guess at all is thanks to nasa as apollo missions. there astronauts brought samples back from six different locations on the moon three hundred kilograms in total from fine dust to football sized chunks of rock those samples have been invaluable to science. in labs on earth researchers have now accurately determine the age and chemical makeup of the samples they provide unique insights into the history and development of the moon and how it came to exist current theory now has said that the moon formed when a celestial body the size of mars collided with our planet long ago. the injected material gradually formed another body in orbit around earth clumping together to form the moon. but figuring out its exact age is difficult because the moon has been bombarded with meteorites that change the composition of its rock the craters on the moon surface bear witn

because we had just walked on the moon, and when we walked on the moon by the way, we did it six times and 12 human beings walked on the surface of the moon because of what nasa did, and the whole world watched it. because of that, when we announced the strategic defense initiati initiative, people took note and said these are the folks who walked on the moon. and they can actually accomplish this. so in the united states they called pit "star wars" program to belittle it and they said it cannot be achieved and the people who believed it could be done was the soviet union, and they started to investing heavily in trying to mitigate gai against this strategic defense initiative. they went to all of the world conferences to try to prevent it from happening, and calling it are provocative. ultimately, because of all of their investment, it was a small piece -- and by the way, how much did we spend on the strategic defense initiative? very, very little. it never really materialized, and we had the brilliant pebbles program and a few other things, but ultimately, what was the purpose of it?

sun and the moon.he moon, you would see that the earth, illuminated, it would look as if all the sunset in the world were happening at once because the light would be filtered through the atmosphere. it would be a ring of light as seen from the moon. so it would actually go a sort of reddish colour, as we get when it is sunset. and all the light from the sun is actually been around the atmosphere of the earth. we don't know how clear the atmosphere is going to be until it actually happens. with all those volcanic eruptions and clouds, it could be that all the way around the world it is very dark, and so we will get a very dim eclipse on the other hand of it. if it is clear we will get a bright eclipse. that is what we are looking forward to finding out.|j suppose it is on where you are in the world, but will we feel the change in the eclipse happened? will it change around us, the atmosphere and the like? no, unlike a selected clips where you have got the heat of the sun which then goes out and then yo
