AT5s #3

Hello internet. Before talking about the list, I first would like to give a shout out to my friend, Brandon, and his blog.

Link: http://www.glitchesandtricks.blogspot.com

He talks about his favorite games and how they work and also glitches, tricks (as the URL suggests) and mods for the games he talks about. You should check it out if you like games. If you don't, I still insist that you go and take a look for yourself. Anyway, onto the list.

Today I will be listing the top five rarest astrological events that happened and will happen. By the way, some people told me that the order of how I order my list was a bit confusing. The order goes from the fifth (which is number 1) to first (which is number 5, on the bottom of the page). I'll probably change the order in the future.

1. Blue Moon
This event takes place when a full moon is seen a second time in a single month. The atmospheric particles that the first full moon of the month gives the second new moon a bluish tint. Happens about every 2.5 years.

2. Planetary alignment
This event occurs when two or more astrological bodies align. The next one is expected to occur during September 2040, where the Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn will align. Happens around every 57 years.

3. Halley's comet
This comet is famous for its recurring omen, Halley's was last seen in 1986 and it will return in 2061. This comet is possibly the best known comet in history. It can be clearly seen with a naked eye, being pretty bright. This comet is mainly made up of gases and dust. Seen every 75-76 years.

4. Transit of Venus
This event happens when Venus passes directly between the Earth and the Sun, and while this is happening, you can see is from Earth with UV ray blocking glasses.. This event can last hours, with the last one lasting six hours. Happens every 243 years (when the transit occurs, the next one is eight years from the first one, however, after the second, it takes another 243 years).

5. Comet ISON
Little is known about this comet. This comet is up to 15 times brighter than the moon, and will be visible from November 2013 to January 2014. This comet, as it's reaching the sun, will be within the Roche limit, and it will probably disintegrate, or it'll survive, and orbit around. If it does, it will pass Earth and has an orbital period of around 10 million years, and may not be seen again.

Interesting fact of the day: This is pretty sad, so you don't have to read this. A Pokémon episode in 1997 caused hundreds of kids to be rushed to the hospital because of the intense lighting effects of the episode, as it cause dizziness, vomiting, and in epileptic children, seizures.
