Look Up Into The Heavens

Yup...what a month. It's the 40th anniversary since man's first stepped on the moon this coming July 21st. And what a bang to mark the occasion as there will be a in total solar eclipse the following day on July 22nd. It will be the longest solar eclipse for the 21st Century (6mins and 38.8secs) with the next longest one taking place in June 13 2132. So, going to try not to miss it and try to take some shots of it.
Will also try to catch the Full Moon on July 7, tonight. Hope to get some good shots. Also interesting is the appearance of several large sunspots for Solar Cycle 24. Its been a while since the Sun was active.
See: http://www.spaceweather.com/ - July 4 to July 6.

Also happening at a very rapid speed is the H1N1 global flu pandemic. Only nine case were detected in late April and the official numbers have shot up to almost 100,000 as of to date. Some suspect more have gotten the bug and the second wave has yet to begin.

I pray God keep my family safe in His arms.
To None I Wish Ill But To All I Wish Peace and Love.
