Halo (optical phenomenon) [^]
First time I've seen one that wasn't a photo in a book! Tried to take a picture but the iPhone wasn't up to the task. Quite spectacular.

I've seen a few moon halos in foggy/hazy weather and sundogs twice around sunset. I've never seen any of the other arcs; and from an article I read a few years ago (probably in either Astronomy or Sky & Telescope) many of them are rare enough to be once or twice in a lifetime events even for people who check daily.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

It was a very clear night. Went out to get a spot of fresh air and there it was.
On the other hand, I have still never seen a UFO.

Anyone watched the trailers? Looks promising, may be as good as the 1st and 2nd movies. And Arnie is back. Bonus : Emilia Clarke!

no lightsabers, no good!!!
I'd rather be phishing!

Looks like the trailer already has several "but that's not what happend!" comments from people who don't understand time travel.

People who don't understand time travel?
Heh, that's the public school system for you.
|
|
|
|

I'd have thought that the public school system would be the perfect introduction to time travel, with the way it transports you back to the 1930s.
|

It's more a time freeze than any actual time travel.

That's UK public schools. I'd assumed that MehGerbil was talking about US public schools, aka state schools.

Having seen numerous films with American state schools in, they don't look like they've changed much since Frank Kapra's heyday.
|

Could they at least get some updated textbooks that don't refer to the civil rights movement as "trouble ahead"?

I just got some funny looks on the train for laughing at that.

The sad part is, living in the South, there are people of a shall we say... pale colour... that want society to move forward, but there are many people that have an 'entitlement' mentality that stifle meaningful discussion.
And this from someone who is a Canadian transplant, so no preconceived notions or 'cultural' bias.

If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.-John Q. Adams
You must accept one of two basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe, or we are not alone in the universe. And either way, the implications are staggering.-Wernher von Braun
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.-Albert Einstein

Yeah this is a different time-line from the previous movies. It splits off from the very first movie, early on.

I told you next Tuesday not to talk about time travel.

I liked the trailer, the casting seems good too. I hope Emilia Clarke will act better than in Game Of Thrones. And that it won't fail as the new RoboCop did.
|

Can't wait to see that.
Hang on, I'm from the future so if I go home I can download it direct to my cranial port.
I'll be back last Thursday to let you know how good it was.
