| A lunar eclipse occurs whenever the Moon passes through some portion of the Earth's shadow. This can occur only when the Sun, Earth, and Moon are aligned exactly, or very closely so, with the Earth in the middle. Hence, there is always a full moon the night of a lunar eclipse. The type and length of an eclipse depend upon the Moon's location relative to its orbital nodes. The next total lunar eclipse occurs on December 21, 2010. The next eclipse of the Moon is a penumbral eclipse on February 9, 2009. |

| A penumbral lunar eclipse, which will occur on February 9, 2009, will be the first lunar eclipse of the year. People can experience the eclipse in areas such as Alaska, Australia, eastern Asia, Hawaii, and New Zealand. This eclipse follows an annular solar eclipse that was marked as 2009’s first eclipse. |

I heard that during olden days, bosses will treat his employees to dinner. Cook a dish call 'chow you yu'. So if its put infront of you, you will know that its time to pack up and leave. :P
Agreed, d bosses are sentimental n benevolence. At current market sentiment.
