Someone I know told me about a friend who was suffering from depression . He kept away from people for several years. None of his friends could do anything to help him. Then his psychologist suggested that he keep a cat. He followed the psychologist’s advice and went to a pet shop. As soon as he went into the shop, he fell in love with one cat. He decided to buy the cat, and since then, he has been getting better. Now he doesn’t suffer from depression and has started to work part-time. Cat therapy seems to have worked. (by a reader)

Notes:
lunar eclipse 月食;
————————-
Get ready to watch a great performance in the sky. There will be a lunar eclipse tonight, and the moon will get dark for several hours. How does this happen? The earth moves between the sun and the moon, and the earth’s shadow falls on the moon. The moon loses its bright yellow color and becomes a dark red. Tonight the moon will start to change color after 8:50 p.m, and at 10:30 it will be at its darkest. It will get lighter again, and just after midnight the eclipse will be over. If the weather is good in your area, you will be able to see it in the southeast sky. (by Prof. Douglas Jarrell)
