Facebook and Loneliness?

Here is a question you might of never pondered...



Is there a link between loneliness and Facebook?  Is this want Facebook does to your thought process without you knowing it?

Lost Memories Film by Francois Ferracci

In our ever so connected world many people have forgotten how to live in the moment. You see people with their faces burred in the screen of their smartphones. If you are always on your smartphone how does it make the person you are suppose to be spending time with feel?

Do you really need to send one more email, write that post or take one more selfie to upload? Online liaisons, sharing photos, and all the different ways that Facebook, Twitter, and the rest of the social interweb could turn a relationship toxic.

Maybe one should put the phone down take a break from the virtual world to experience life and let it unfold in the real world. Maybe then one will make lasting memories that they can recall on their mind instead of going through an online repository. If you dont... You can eventually loose that person.

NASA's timelapse video of total lunar eclipse

Taken in 2010

Parts of the world saw a total lunar eclipse. The lunar eclipses will take place roughly every six months for the next two years, known as 'tetrad'.

The start of Tuesday's lunar eclipse marked the second of nine tetrads this century, according to astronomer Fred Espenak. The last tetrad occurred in 2003 and the next is set to take place in 2032. There were five tetrads in the 20th century.


 
 

As the Earth positions itself between the sun and the moon, a red hue surrounds the moon due to the indirect sunlight that manages to reach and illuminate it. Sun's light first passes through the Earth's atmosphere, filtering out most of the blue colored light, resulting in the reddish color. Earth's atmosphere can also refract some of the light, causing a small fraction to reach and illuminate the moon, Espenak explains on his website.
