David the Movie

Starring Maz Jobrani, “David” tells the story of Daud, a religious Muslim boy growing up in Brooklyn, New York. Through inadvertent circumstances he develops a friendship with an orthodox Jewish boy who mistakes Daud for being Jewish. “David” is a coming of age story at heart about Identity and the many ways it can bring us together as well as break us apart.

This video is an interview with Muatasem Mishal who plays Daud as he speaks about his experience in the film.

Tuesday Morning's Lunar Eclipse

The full moon changed from a glowing orange orb to total darkness early Tuesday as it underwent a rare eclipse. This was the first total lunar eclipse to coincide with the winter solstice in 372 years. The show lasted 3 ½ hours and was visible from clear skies in North and Central America. Portions of Europe and Asia were only able to see part of the show. Some cities with thick cloud cover were unable to see much at all.

The phase when the Earth's shadow completely covered the moon, called the totality phase, lasted 72 minutes. A lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth casts its shadow over the moon blocking it from reflecting light. A total eclipse where the moon is fully covered by the Earth is rare.

Scientists say another such eclipse won't occur again till 2094.
