How to make a shoe-box viewer to safely view the solar eclipse. I added black duct tape to all the taped edges of the box to block any stray light, and black tape next to the eye-hole to reduce the glare to your eye from the Sun shining on the outside of the white box.

How often do moons eclipse one another?
Question by Arex: How often do moons eclipse one another?
In my fantasy book series, the world I write about has got two moons. I thought it would be fun to build a festival around a idea where once a year one of the moons eclipses the other. Scientifically, how far-fetched is this idea? For instance on Mars, do Phobos and Deimos ever eclipse one another and how often does it happen? I'm not opposed to stretching the truth just a bit since it is a fantasy book, but if it's completely scientifically ludicrous or impossible, I'd rather not include it. Thanks for the help

Answer by Big DaddyMartian moons are very different from the earth's moon. I don't think they're relevant.
There's no particular reason that some moons around a planet couldn't undergo periodic or semi-periodic eclipses. The idea that a earth-like planet may have two or more large moons may be the less likely aspect.
But we don't have a lot of samples (just the planets in this solar system) to judge by. So having eclipsing moons in a story isn't beyond any plausibility limit that I'd worry about.

Does the November 28, 2012 lunar eclipse have prophetic significance? Exactly 65 years ago, just before the UN General Assembly voted to partition Palestine and give land to the Jews, a penumbral lunar eclipse occurred. This very same type of eclipse occurred last night before the UN General Assembly is to vote on upgrading Palestine's status and therefore recognize them as a state and therefore possibly divide the land of Israel. Simply interesting... or prophetic? You decide. But watch my video first ;)

What is the believed time when spirit activity is at its highest?
Question by goo_head_83: What is the believed time when spirit activity is at its highest?
I have heard conflicting arguments between midnight and 3am being the time when spirit activity is highest. What is the leading belief of when activity is at its highest? Why is it at its highest at this time and no other time? What evidence has been collected to prove this is the peak time?
Best answer:
Answer by El Nahual JusticieroSome spirits are more comfortable to make themselves present at night time, and others only come if you summon them properly, but spirits seem to be more active on Halloween, Walpurgis Night (April 30), and in the Equinox and Solstice days, this year the next Equinox will be on Sep 22 at 21:18.

Halloween Trump Card, Spirit Lights! Here is how to make them: Get yourself a few glass jars... or just glasses they work as well. Then head over to the hardware store and pick up some solar powered garden lamps. They are CHEAP! They only cost about 1-2 bucks! Incredible! If you have some halloween hair dye lying around, great! If not, go grab a .50 bottle and cover the inside of the with it. When done attach the top of the garden lamp to the jar and you now have glowing spirit light which will be charged by the power of the sun. Twitter: twitter.com
