Blood Moon On The Horizon

Blood Moon on the Horizon

Created on September 22, 2015

A Blood moon known as a ‘tetrad’ will take place on September 28th, which is just the fourth lunar eclipse in two years.

The rare event will make the moon look up to 14% larger because it is as close to the earth than it will ever be in its elliptical orbit. However there is a chance that the eclipse won’t be visible from New Zealand and as always viewing always depends on weather conditions.

So why will the moon be a ‘blood’ red colour? When the earth eclipses a full moon the direct sunlight is blocked, but the sun's rays still light up the moon. However this light has already traveled through the Earth's atmosphere first, and hence causing the totally eclipsed moon to look red or brownish .

Rugby World Cup 2015

 

 For the last few weeks our class has been creating a presentation on the Rugby World Cup. We were divided into groups and I am with Quros, Tyla, Anavea and Suliasi. One thing I have learnt is that  the Webb Ellis Cup is named after a school boy named William Webb Ellis. Our presentation we have been doing is looking cool and I can't wait to see the finish. Here is a picture of the pools.Hopefully they win the rugby world cup for us . Go The Mighty All Blacks .

The Amazing Cindy In The House

  Today we went to Pt England and watch an act called Cindy in the House which was similar to the fairy tale Cinderella . We walked to Pt England where we got seated and had to wait for 10 minutes . We then got greeted by the principal .They acted, did funny things and danced. My favorite part was at the ball where they danced to a remix. I really enjoyed watching them act what that had rehearsed on for ages .

Aurora Australis Lights Up New Zealand .

 
Lucky Astronomers were amazed when they got a one of a kind view of the beautiful Aurora Australis . The Aurora Australis was an event that filled the sky with exquisite  bright colors like pink , purple , blue and green. It  happened when the solar winds from the sun mixed with the earth's upper atmosphere . The Beautiful sight is usually seen from the South Island but the solar storm was so big that it was spotted in the North East of the North Island .
