When the moon passes through the Earth's shadow, it causes the moon to look very unusual for a short period of time. This event is called a lunar eclipse, and it occurs roughly twice a year. There's one viewable to folks outside of North America on June 15, so sit back and learn more about how lunar eclipses work in this video!

This video is also available in stereoscopic 3D, viewable by many kinds of 3D devices, including common red/blue paper glasses that you might have lying around! To view this video in 3D, click here: http://youtu.be/F5JRVOw6mes

    Falun Dafa is a cultivation system in the Buddha School, saving people, that is based on the principles of the Universe: 真 Truthfulness 善 Compassion 忍 Forbearance

    It teaches elevation of one's moral character. Since 1999 it has been brutally persecuted by the CCP in China. Good people are being tortured, raped, killed, force-fed, deprived of sleep and have organs harvested from simply because their spiritual belief. Millions practitioners were killed by the evil CCP.
