Guest Fishtank Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 http://science.nasa.gov/science-news/science-at-nasa/2010/17dec_solsticeeclipse/ The luster will be a bit "off" on Dec. 21st, the first day of northern winter, when the full Moon passes almost dead-center through Earth's shadow. For 72 minutes of eerie totality, an amber light will play across the snows of North America, throwing landscapes into an unusual state of ruddy shadow. The first in 456 years and North America has the best seat in the house Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Lady kakapo Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 i'm just happy that the days will soon be getting longer again. Do you ever use light therapy? A friend was asking for advice and I have no practical experience. Apparently simply using blue light bulbs is as affective as the costly light therapy lamps.

A friend was asking for advice and I have no practical experience. Apparently simply using blue light bulbs is as affective as the costly light therapy lamps. i haven't tried it - actually one of my housemates is a photographer, and he bought some of these strange full-daylight bulbs for professional use back in September. i kept meaning to stick to some kind of light therapy regimen with them, an hour in the morning, but in typical SAD style i can't even organise my life to that degree in the winter months. plus i find it very hard to get out of bed until the "definitely going to be late for work" point.

Guest Lady kakapo Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 I've never heard that... Source? I'll try and dig it out later. I doubt it will be in any reputable scientific journal though, probably the daily mail health supplement written by a hungover sub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine that I'll probably just put my alarm on snooze until 7.45, as usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
