the highway to Marmot Basin.

Bill then ran a bombardier snow

cat, transporting 15 passengers at

a time to Marmot Basin.

Sequence of the total lunar

An eclipse of the Moon

can only occur at Full Moon,

and only if the Moon passes

through some portion of

Earth's shadow. That shadow is

actually composed of two

cone-shaped components, one

nested inside the other. The

outer or penumbral shadow is a

zone where the Earth blocks

part but not all of the Sun's

rays from reaching the Moon.

In contrast, the inner or umbral

shadow is a region where the

Earth blocks all direct sunlight

from reaching the Moon.

The year of the Pig is very

auspicious in Chinese culture.

The chubbiness of the Pig

indicates prosperity. Wild boars

are known to be fearless and will

run headlong into any situation,

usually winning out in the end in.

The Pig was the last animal to be

added to the Zodiak.
