On December 21st, at 6:32 AM UTC (10:32 PM on December 20th Pacific thru 1:32 AM Eastern for those in the US), North America will get a front-row seat in a Total Lunar Eclipse. Totality will be through 7:40 through 8:53 UTC, and the eclipse will end at 10:01 AM UTC.
Anyone going to be watching? This post has been edited by Thomas Kaira: Dec 20 2010, 06:49 AM -------------------- Rarely is the question asked, is our children learning? |

Wrong side of the world unfortunatly. A lunar eclipse and the solstice, now there would be an excuse for some party and bonfire.

I knew there was a full moon and the solstice on one night, but not about the eclipse. Most cool!

3 hours to go before the moon enters the Penumbral shadow.
And the overcast weather over my house was kind enough to clear up enough to see the moon. This is also only the second Total Lunar eclipse to occur on the Winter Solstice in the Common Era, so this is a special one. For those across the pond, you should be able to catch the first moments of the eclipse soon, and may even be able to catch a selenelion (sun and moon visible at the same time on opposite sides of the horizon). Some are also predicting that the moon will appear redder than usual at totality due to recent volcanic activity in Indonesia. I'll be sure to get some pictures for you guys who missed it.

Pulled the telescope out, set up...now if I can just find the bowl of lenses that were always in the way when we didn't need them - now are no where in sight! GAAAAAH !!!
