If you’re planning to get up early to see this eclipse, my advice is to stay in bed a bit longer, and get up to see the beginning of the partial eclipse, when the moon enters Earth’s “umbral,” or full, shadow.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Partial eclipse begins at 3:48 AM (I know, it’s still early, but you got almost an extra hour of sleep!). Now, you should begin to see one edge of the full moon darken a bit, as if a tiny piece of a cookie has been nibbled away. Then it only gets better, the umbral shadow growing until finally it covers the entire moon, and “totality” begins.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Totality begins at 4:51 a.m., and lasts until 6:08 a.m. PST. During this time, the moon, fully engulfed in the Earth’s umbral shadow, will darken considerably, and may acquire a dim orange or rusty red hue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Red?

Though the moon is fully within Earth’s shadow, with no direct sunlight falling on it, some sunlight passing through Earth’s atmosphere is refracted, or bent, and directed into Earth’s umbra—so the moon doesn’t go completely dark.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The light is red because Earth’s atmosphere filters out the sunlight’s bluer colors, and lets the redder tones pass through, like a piece of red colored glass. You see the same effect at sunrise or sunset, when the sun may turn to orange or reddish hues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you were on the moon looking back at the Earth during totality, you would see the dark silhouette of the Earth rimmed by a ring of orange and red—literally the light of all the sunrises and sunsets happening on Earth at that moment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Following the end of totality (6:08 AM), the partial eclipse will continue until 7:11 AM—shortly before moonset at 7:19.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, if the tumblers will align in such lucky fashion on January 31st, is this a good time to buy a Lotto ticket?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No comment.\u003c/p>\n\n",

If you’re planning to get up early to see this eclipse, my advice is to stay in bed a bit longer, and get up to see the beginning of the partial eclipse, when the moon enters Earth’s “umbral,” or full, shadow.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Partial eclipse begins at 3:48 AM (I know, it’s still early, but you got almost an extra hour of sleep!). Now, you should begin to see one edge of the full moon darken a bit, as if a tiny piece of a cookie has been nibbled away. Then it only gets better, the umbral shadow growing until finally it covers the entire moon, and “totality” begins.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Totality begins at 4:51 a.m., and lasts until 6:08 a.m. PST. During this time, the moon, fully engulfed in the Earth’s umbral shadow, will darken considerably, and may acquire a dim orange or rusty red hue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Red? I thought tonight’s moon was Blue….\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>The orange/red coloration you may see is caused by Earth’s atmosphere. Though the moon is fully within Earth’s shadow, with no direct sunlight falling on it, some sunlight passing through Earth’s atmosphere is refracted, or bent, and directed into Earth’s umbra—so the moon doesn’t go completely dark.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The light is red because Earth’s atmosphere filters out the sunlight’s bluer colors, and lets the redder tones pass through, like a piece of red colored glass. You see the same effect at sunrise or sunset, when the sun may turn to orange or reddish hues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you were on the moon looking back at the Earth during totality, you would see the dark silhouette of the Earth rimmed by a ring of orange and red—literally the light of all the sunrises and sunsets happening on Earth at that moment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Following the end of totality (6:08 AM), the partial eclipse will continue until 7:11 AM—shortly before moonset at 7:19.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, if the tumblers will align in such lucky fashion on January 31st, is this a good time to buy a Lotto ticket?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Surfers had used the access road to the beach for decades, but after Khosla bought the property, the venture capitalist posted a no-trespassing sign. Four lawsuits were filed, and in October a San Mateo County Superior Court judge \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/09/24/martins-beach-ruling-superior-court-judge/\">ruled that the venture capitalist needs a coastal development permit\u003c/a> in order to close the road.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_25515\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 1024px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/science/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2014/12/pygmy-seahorses.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-25515 size-full\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/science/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2014/12/pygmy-seahorses.jpg\" alt=\"pygmy seahorses\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">(Josh Cassidy/KQED)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>1. \u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/science/2014/10/21/pygmy-seahorses-masters-of-camouflage/\">Pygmy Seahorses: Masters of Camouflage\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Our pilot episode of Deep Look was our most popular piece by far with more than 100,00 YouTube views.
