Super Harvest Moon 2010
The harvest moon is the full moon at around the autumnal equinox. When the night of the harvest moon coincides with the night of the equinox, it is called a "Super Harvest Moon." We experienced Super Harvest Moon on 22nd September 2010 night. Here are few pictures of the Super Harvest Moon taken from Lawrence.
The photos were taken around 11 pm
The moon was beautiful.

Spring Late Evening in KU Campus
Spring season evenings are pleasent and I got to spend some time in KU campus last week. Here are some pictures I could take.
I started in front of Budig Hall. I just realised how beautiful it looks in the eveningfading light and the lighting it has.
The tree silhouette really make it look more beautiful.
The small chandelier over those arches
The spotlights on the windows of the side walls with Moon peeping on it.
And the entrance on west side.
The Lindley hall, main entrance
View from Lindley Hall towards the Hostel Dorms
and the Eaton Hall in the night.

Touch a Moonrock
NASA and Kansas University gave residents of Lawrence a opportunity to "Touch a Moonrock".
It was outside Eaton Hall in the Kansas University Campus.
It was nicely enclosed and people were allowed to touch and feel it.
The moon rock was collected in 1972 by Astonaut Jack Schmitt during the last visit of humans to the moon on the Apollo 17 mision. The fragment weighs 19.35 grams. The entire rock was 8110 grams when it was brought to Earth. This is mare basalt and it is about 3.37 billion years old, which is older than most of the rocks on the surface of the Earth.
There were a several information panels about Space Shuttles, NASA and Constellation Mission
There was a booth to take photographs in Astronaut outfit, which was also very Popular.
There were more than 2500 visitors who visited the exhibition in two days (13th and 14th April 2009). So now these 2500 people can proudly say I have "Touched a Moonrock".
