Google: Self-driving cars are mastering city streets

After working on self driving cars for three years, since (2011). Google has made some changes in self driving cars that they have created. ""A mile of city driving is much more complex than a mile of freeway driving, with hundreds of different objects moving according to different rules of the road in a small area," Chris Urmson, the head of Google's self-driving-car project, said Monday in a blog post.".  once putting in the everyday driving situations that many face on the road. I feel like this is a cool technology invention that has came about, I would certainly use this in the near future if it is becoming legal in the near future. My only concern is that what all can the car do besides drive to places, also what happens if it stop working. It is said that it is better made and is made upon the driving issues "A self-driving vehicle can pay attention to all of these things in a way that a human physically can't -- and it never gets tired or distracted," Urmson wrote". I would like to try this out but I do not really like the idea of it, due to it may malfunction one day on the road.

Blood Moon will be a sight to behold during total linear eclipse

"The moon will turn to blood as it aligns with Earth and sun Then do so thrice more ere a year and a half is done, Tis not the herald of the apocalypses Just the first of four total lunar eclipses".
This is said to occur on Tuesday night, it is one of the four consecutive total eclipses. They usually come about twice a year during the time range of April 15 and September 15. What makes it so unique is that it happens through the moon passing through Earth's Shadow, creating the color of a desert sunset. This is school related but not with the classes that I am  currently taking, but it relates to Earth Science and Astronomy.  I liked reading this article I never knew that the moon turned this particular color, I only knew the basic of a solar eclipse. Reading this made me understand it more clearly about the process of what happens with the solar eclipse. I feel like the author wrote a article about it so more people would pay it attention on Tuesday night, because many times the changes of the moon is overlooked. Many more people will be paying attention to see how the moon changes, including me.
