Universal Playground: Part 1 - The Sun

In lieu of today's devastating events, I have decided to devote some blog space to Mother Nature. In this series of posts I'll explore the oddities that have and will happen in 2011 across the World and the Universe. So I shall start with the most magnificent of all the celestial bodies - the Sun


2011 Jan 04: Partial Solar Eclipse
2011 Jun 01: Partial Solar Eclipse
2011 Jun 15: Total Lunar Eclipse
2011 Jul 01: Partial Solar Eclipse
2011 Nov 25: Partial Solar Eclipse
2011 Dec 10: Total Lunar Eclipse


In 2011, there will be 4 partial solar eclipses and 2 total solar eclipses. Scientists say that this 4:2 combination is pretty rare, so what does this mean and why is it happening now? Since eclipses happen so rapidly it is not quite known what the overall effects are if any on the Earth.

It is just uncanny to me how catastrophic occurrences seem to surround major solar and lunar events. For instance, two days before the first eclipse of 2011, approximately 5000 birds fell dead from the sky in South America. A day later thousands of birds fell dead in Arkansas. Two separate locations in the World, yet these anomalies occur only a day apart in the days leading up to the solar eclipse. Since the beginning of the year, millions of dead fish have been washing up on shores all across the United States and abroad. The latest occurrence of this kind happened this Tuesday, March 8th (See this related news story.) Some sources attribute the deaths to frigid waters, other reports site "natural events" as the cause.

Whatever the cause of these oddities, I believe it is just the beginning of more to come. I won't go so far as to say it is the "End of Days" or Armageddon or  government conspiracy. However, I will say there is definitely a shift in the balance of nature which is having violently dramatic effects on the environment, the planet and the Universe.

Stay tuned...next in the Universal Playground series - The Super Moon Cometh (March 19th)
