Hey everyone. My housemate found a dog the other night limping in the middle of the street the other night. She took this poor dog to the vet and we found out that she has a dislocated hip.The surgery is really expensive and we’re all just college students trying to help out this dog we don’t even own. She is really in need of this surgery because now she is unable to go to the bathroom at all. The dislocated hip is pushing on her bladder and they just took xrays today which showed her bladder is very very huge. We have been trying to find her owners(we assume she has them due to her grooming), but we have been unsuccessful so far. But the vet says we need to get the surgery ASAP to avoid further complications to her lower body. 

Please, any amount would help us out. We don’t want to see this poor dog being put down. http://www.gofundme.com/fjaeyw

If you would like any other photos for further proof, message me and I can get that done.

There’s another lunar eclipse this year and it’s happening tomorrow night! (That’s Tuesday night — in other words the wee hours of Wednesday morning). Europe and Africa will be left out this time around, but viewers in North America and Asia will get the chance to see the moon pass through the earth’s shadow. Details from NASA here.

This eclipse is extra special because it might be a rare selenelion.

Don’t ask me how to pronounce that word, but here’s what it means: the refraction of light through Earth’s atmosphere makes both sun and moon appear higher in the sky then they really are. So at moonset/sunrise on Wednesday morning, a few lucky observers east of the Mississippi might glimpse the sun and the eclipsed moon AT THE SAME TIME! Geometrically impossible, and well worth setting your alarms for.

I put approximate moonset times in this GIF, but you should look up the specific schedule for your location here.

Send your photos of the ‘blood moon’ lunar eclipse to our science desk Tumblr editors at nprskunkbear@gmail.com.
