Is dat sum lunar eclipse dere
« on: December 20, 2010, 03:37:55 AM »
Breaking news: full-moon lunar eclipse tonight, on the eve of the winter solstice! It's going to be visible from all of North America:

1:33 AM: Partial eclipse begins
2:41-3:53 AM: Total eclipse


Times are in EST.

Quote
The luster will be a bit "off" on Dec. 21st, the first day of northern winter, when the full Moon passes almost dead-center through Earth's shadow. For 72 minutes of eerie totality, an amber light will play across the snows of North America, throwing landscapes into an unusual state of ruddy shadow.

The eclipse begins on Tuesday morning, Dec. 21st, at 1:33 am EST (Monday, Dec. 20th, at 10:33 pm PST). At that time, Earth's shadow will appear as a dark-red bite at the edge of the lunar disk. It takes about an hour for the "bite" to expand and swallow the entire Moon. Totality commences at 02:41 am EST (11:41 pm PST) and lasts for 72 minutes.

If you're planning to dash out for only one quick look -? it is December, after all -? choose this moment: 03:17 am EST (17 minutes past midnight PST). That's when the Moon will be in deepest shadow, displaying the most fantastic shades of coppery red.

If you go to bed early you'll be up early in time to see it just before the sun comes up

I was too tired to stay up.
I saw a slight haze in the hotel bathroom this morning after I took a shower, have I discovered a new planet?

It hasn't happened yet, so you've not missed it.  Perhaps this would be a good time to test the effects of eclipse moonlight?
I don't know what you're implying, but you're probably wrong.

Saw it slightly eclipsed, but then a fog/cloud bank drifted in and we didn't see anything after that :(

I saw it sitting on the East Coast of Australia. Which doesn't exist according to the map. Fuck all cartographers
