Lunar eclipse

[Pegasi1978]

So who’s planning on watching the lunar eclipse tonight? The experts are saying those of us in North America and Europe are should have a good view weather permitting.

Quote:

The main event begins at 9:01 p.m. ET, when the moon is completely covered by the darkest part of Earth’s shadow. That translates to 8:01 p.m. CT, 7:01 p.m. MT and 6:01 p.m. PT. The total phase of the eclipse lasts 51 minutes, and the moon starts coming out of the darkest shadow, or umbra, at 9:52 p.m. ET.

Moreover, this eclipse comes with a rare bonus. The planet Saturn (magnitude +0.2) and the bright bluish star Regulus (magnitude +1.4) will form a broad triangle with the moon’s ruddy disk.

I’m going to try. I always watch them, since I was small child…my mother would wake up us to see…There’s just something special about them, no matter how boring and scientific the description of them.

Too freakin’ cold to stand outside long. Plus I’m right in the middle of a major city so the light pollution would make viewing hard. 🙄

I wish I could, but I’ll be running my show. I’ve seen a couple of eclipes and love watching them.

I might watch part of it. But it’s suppost to be 3 degree tonight. I’d freeze to death if I watched the whole thing 😀 Of course then my pretties would be up for grabs 😆

I’m not sure I’ll be able to see it…it’s currently snowing like a blizzard here which is shocking…not sure how long it will last.

We’ve got fog that refuses to go away, so the likelyhood of us being able to see it is low. Disappointing, I wanted to see it. But who knows, maybe we’ll get lucky and it will clear off soon. Not holding my breath though.

It’s overcast here, but if it clears up I want to watch. 😀

I thought I would the weather is warm and beautiful in SE FL

I read something else that said the full eclipse was at 10pm ET. Partial elipse starts about 8:45pm ET.

The evening weather will be nice here in Florida. I just hopes it clear skies in my area tonight.

It was supposed to be good here, but it’s all overcast here now, Darn, I love eclipses!
