Oolite Bulletins

That's weird. I had a dream last night that the sun was eclipsed by the moon then when it came out the other side it was darker, then the moon moved back in front of it and showed a projection of the Earth on it. It danced around the sky for a good few moments then there were flames on the horizon that made a pretty corona around the edge of the world.

Then the Earth burned.

Now I'm a bit worried. CME can't knock the Earth's orbit though. Hopefully.

Interesting. Don't worry Selezen. It's only when the moon is eclipsed by the sun that I would be concerned.

Given that the Sun is about 870,000 miles in diameter and the distance between the earth and the moon is about 238,000 miles - I don't think an eclipse of the moon by the sun is actually possible. Atleast, not from the earth.

I think that's why he's concerned
