    Happy Halloween! And if you live in Nevada, Happy Nevada Day! -- which entered the United States as the 36th state 150 years ago October 31, 1864.
    Now, you may remember that we have run two previous "Survey Says" episodes -- during which you tell us what the correct answers are -- for you!
    We have wondered whether you have gotten into the spirit of Halloween this year.
    Consequently, for tonight's questions, this "Survey Says" episode is about Halloween 2014!
    Of course, for those who do not want to share your personal answers -- for whatever reason -- you can just use the answer "D".
    Accordingly, please choose your answers from any of the 4 (reuseable) answers of "A", "B", "C", or "D" (if applicable!) for each question  
    So, what do YOU SAY?
                                     ALL Answers were CORRECT!

Question #2: Have you walked around the last couple days with some of the Halloween "Anthems" in your head -- like the Monster Mash, Michael Jackson's Thriller, Ghostbusters, Werewolves of London, etc.? (Link to these songs: [2014 Boo!, Y'all!] Halloween Music Videos)
        A. Yes

        B. No, or
        C. Whadja say? I didn't hear what you asked -- because I got this stupid Halloween song running through my mind, or
        D. Dunno, duncare, whatever, boring!, ohwow, awesome, huh?, yada-yada, yawn

NOTE: Be sure to check out the
upcoming LUNAR Eclipse on October 7-8
and more info about our Qs & As on
KF7TBA+K7LWA's Friday Insomniac-Net BLOG
(http://k7lwa-ins.blogspot.com/)
    For tonight's Net (our 40th of 2014), Shelley and LW want to alert you about a terrific celestrial show scheduled for next Wednesday night, October 7-8, 2014.
    This event, which is called a Lunar Eclipse, should be visible to a large part of the world's population*.
    In fact, for many of us on the Check-In List tonight, we
should see a TOTAL Lunar Eclipse -- during which the full moon will turn a bright orange-red.
    LW remembers seeing his first "Blood Moon" during the early AM hours of March 13, 1960 back in Hershey, PA when he was 9-years old.
    So, how much do you know about Total Lunar Eclipses?

    Please give us your best answers for each of the following 3 TRUE or FALSE questions, by using the (reuseable) answers of "A"=TRUE or "B"=FALSE.   

       ++ "Mixed Bag of 3 Trivia Questions -- #26: There's A Moon Out Tonight" ++
Question #1: The term Blood Moon can be and is usually applied to any and all Total Lunar Eclipses, because the dispersed light from all the Earth’s sunrises and sunsets falls on the face of the moon at mid-eclipse -- True or False?
        A. True, or
        B. False
.

    The full moon nearly always appears coppery red during a total lunar eclipse.
    That’s because the dispersed light from all the Earth’s sunrises and sunsets falls on the face of the moon at mid-eclipse.
    Thus the term
blood moon can be and probably is applied to any and all total lunar eclipses.
    It’s only in years where volcanic activity is pronounced that the moon’s face during a total lunar eclipse might appear more brownish or gray in color.
    Usually, the moon looks red. We astronomy writers often say it looks
blood red. Why? Because it sounds dramatic, and a lunar eclipse is a dramatic natural event.
    Read more here: Why does the moon look red during a total lunar eclipse?
Question #2: A Total Lunar Eclipse occurs when the Moon moves between the Sun and the Earth -- True or False?
        A. True, or
        B. False
.

    Generally, a Total Solar Eclipse occurs when the Moon moves between the Sun and the Earth; a Total Lunar Eclipse occurs when the Earth moves between the Sun and the Moon.
     A total lunar eclipse is one of the most dramatic and beautiful – and easiest-to-view – of all astronomical events.
    During a total lunar eclipse, the sun, Earth and moon form a line in space.
    Earth’s shadow falls on the face of the moon.
    An entire hemisphere of Earth can see the eclipse, that is, the whole side of Earth on which it’s nighttime when the eclipse takes place.
    No special equipment needed. Just grab your lawn chair, go outside and plan to spend several hours watching the partial phases of the eclipse, followed by the totality itself, when the moon is completely covered by Earth’s shadow.
Question #3: The Total Lunar Eclipse on October 7-8, 2014 is the second one in the 2014-2015 lunar tetrad** (i.e., four consecutive total lunar eclipses, spaced at six lunar months apart from one another) -- True or False?
        A. True, or
        B. False
.
These are the dates for the upcoming tetrad – four successive total lunar eclipses – in these years.
2014:
Total lunar eclipse: April 14-15
Total lunar eclipse: October 7-8
2015:
Total lunar eclipse: April 4
Total lunar eclipse: September 28
There are a total of 8 tetrads in the 21st century (2001 to 2100).
    How common is a tetrad of total lunar eclipses? Depending upon the century in which you live, a lunar tetrad (four consecutive total lunar eclipses, spaced at six lunar months apart from one another) may happen fairly frequently – or not at all.
    For instance, in our 21st century (2001-2100), there are a total 8 tetrads, but in the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries, there were none at all. If we include all the centuries from the 1st century (AD 1-100) through the 21st century (2001-2100), inclusive, there are a total of 62 tetrads. The last one occurred in 2003-2004, and the next one after the 2014-2015 tetrad will happen in 2032-2033.

(1b) Visual Appearance of Lunar Eclipses
(2) Oct 8, 2014 Total Lunar Eclipse
(3Total Eclipse of the Moon on October 8, 2014! (by Fred Espenak)
*Continents seeing at least some parts of the eclipse: ALL of North America, South America, the Pacific, Australia, Asia; some of the Atlantic and the Indian Oceans, Antarctica; NONE in Europe or Africa.
**What is a tetrad? It’s four successive total lunar eclipses, with no partial lunar eclipses in between, each of which is separated from the other by six lunar months (six full moons)
=================
++ QUOTE(s) OF THE DAY ++  -- from Van Morrison's Moondance (peaked at #39 on the Pop Singles chart in 1977 -- more):
Well, it's a marvelous night for a Moondance
With the stars up above in your eyes
A fantabulous night to make romance
'Neath the cover of October skies
And all the leaves on the trees are falling
To the sound of the breezes that blow
And I'm trying to please to the calling
Of your heart-strings that play soft and low
And all the night's magic seems to whisper and hush
And all the soft moonlight seems to shine in your blush
[Chorus:]
Can I just have one a' more Moondance with you, my love
Can I just make some more romance with a-you, my love
[SOURCE: Van Morrison's Moondance]

++ And Did You Know...? (with a Radio Wave to Big Al) ++
Often, LW will try to find a song to use as the ++ Quote of the Day ++ that is somehow related to the current Net's topic.
For tonight's Net, two songs immediately came to mind:

The Capris' There's A Moon Out Tonight and Van Morrison's Moondance.
The Capris song was used as the Quote six months ago for the April 11, 2014 net:
2014[15]Q -- Ins-Net Questions for Apr 11, 2014_Mixed Bag -- #10: There's A Moon Out Tonight
from The Capris' There's A Moon Out Tonight (peaked at Billboard position # 3 in 1961)
          “There's a (moon out tonight) whoa-oh-oh ooh
            Let's go strollin'
            There's a (girl in my heart) whoa-oh-oh ooh
            Whose heart I've stolen
            There's a moon out tonight (whoa-oh-oh ooh)
            Let's go strollin' through the park (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)

 [SOURCE: The Capris' There's A Moon Out Tonight]
A tip of the xylophone to Jonathon [VA7CJB] for coming up with a better song title for the ++ Quote ++ section: Cat Stevens' 1971 hit Moonshadow!
