I couldn't care less.

But only because I can't afford to. It's overcast and snowing here.

TLAM Strike · 12-20-10, 07:00 PM

Around 1:30 AM on the East coast.

Got my Telescope Ready...

Hopefully the snow holds off.

True that Lunar eclipses aren't as dramatic as solar ones, but are still cool events that you don't get to see that often.

Gerald · 12-20-10, 08:17 PM

Next time, the years 2094, and approximately the same extent,

Armistead · 12-20-10, 08:38 PM

Bout 830pm in NC. I swear the edge of the left side of the moon almost has a blue hint behind it, looks like a black line to the left...wierd, probably my eyes, course it's bright as hell.

Much as I love rain (something that we rarely see in Souther California) we're in the middle of a massive storm system that's basically going to sit on the state for a few more days dropping massive amounts of water; no chance of clear skies for the next few days. Didn't think it'd be another 80+ years until the next one, have seen ones in the past through my telescope but was much younger and didn't really appreciate the rarity of what I was seeing.

I agree with!

Armistead · 12-20-10, 09:28 PM
