Lunar eclipse 1 pictures show the moon's surface go blood red

Stargazers saw the moon in a special light this week as it went through a partial lunar eclipse and
turned blood red. Monday night’s eclipse left about 25 per cent of the moon’s diameter covered as it
passed through the Earth’s shadow, and was seen across most of Europe, Asia, Australia, Africa and
the Indian Ocean.

The moon appeared to turn red during the eclipse because the sun’s light is reflected in the
atmosphere, in a similar way to what turns sunrises and sunsets red, according to
timeanddate.com. The partial eclipse happened during the August full moon, which is also known as
the Sturgeon Moon, and was at its peak at 7:10pm on Monday night in the UK.

The name for the August full moon is believed to originate from early native American tribes. They
chose the name “sturgeon moon” because the sturgeon fish in the North American Great Lakes are
caught more easily during this month.

Other tribal names for the August full moon are the Green Corn Moon and the Grain Moon. As well
as the commonly known September Harvest Moon, traditional names for other full moons include
the Strawberry Moon in June, Wolf Moon in January and Worm Moon in March.

No more fish and chips

A. Long before the Big Mac was invented,
Britain had its own national form of fast
food. "When I was a young man, it was the
sort of thing you had once or twice a
week," remembers 82-year old Arthur
Mowbrey.
B. "Sixty years ago, you got a fullsize
portion of cod and chips for sixpence. It
was cheap, and good. "Fish 'n' chips was
nourishing, too. It was a proper meal, that
you could eat in the street on your way
home from work, or during the lunch-
break. Wrapped in newspaper, it would
keep warm to the last chip, even on the
coldest days of the year.
D. I had fish 'n' chips about three weeks
ago. We sometimes have it at home, and we
go and get it from the chip shop. It saves
cooking!
E. "Thousands of chip shops, however,
have closed in the last twenty-five years.
Some have been turned into Chinese or
Indian takeaways, others have just closed.
They have survived best in seaside towns,
where the fish is really fresh, and people
visit them more as a tradition than for any
other reason.

C. In the last quarter of a century, things

have changed. "It's not so popular with
young people these days," says Lizzie, a
teenager. "Most of the time, if young
people want to eat out, they'll go to a
Burger King or something like that, or a
Chinese take-away. Fish 'n' chips is a bit
old-fashioned really, I suppose. But there
linguapress.com
are still cheap chip shops around.
