Tonite: Total Lunar Eclipse: 10:26pm February 20, 2008,starting at 8:43pm EST

I remember staying up the whole night till 4-5am last time. A few friends and I just headed out to a secluded/elevated spot with some beers, and music and just chilled and waited.

Too bad no such event like that tonight.


BTW - this is about the same time the satellite is being shot down.

Thanks for that!!!

Gonna try and check it out! Unfortunately looks like it's in the Western sky cause I cant see it from my (Eastern Facing) apt. Gonna have to trek outside at shortly before 10pm and have a look! I love this kind a shyte!

Just took a look: the moon is about 1/4 to 1/3rd eclipsed and there is a discernible red band stretching across!

I can't see sheeet!

whoppdedoo.

Cool shit out there right now.

if you want something more unique, there is a solar eclipse happening on august 1st. last one of those was in early 2005.

whether or not it happens often is irrevelant. the magnitude of it is still miraculous.

It's rare to see, I've always been into astronomy as a teen, so this is fun to watch as I have a smoke outside.

So I set up my camera on a tripod. It's fcuking cold outside, it's a new camera, and I didn't want to be bothered with the manual picture options, so here goes. Camera has 7x optical zoom.

Taken just after 9pm;


I took this one with added digital zoom, but quality fades big time;

just a sliver left now

here is a pic of a lunar eclipse that my buddy did in 2004

some pics from flickr

soo pretty. Makes me stop and notice more what beauty this world has to offer...esp when its been hard the last few wks with this crappy weather.

All I can say is just WOW. It makes you wish you could just reach up and hold it in your hand.

My last pix of the night.

I agree, very clear night in London tonight.

definitely cool to watch; can someone explain to the village idiot here (me) where the redish tinge comes from? My guess is that it is light filtering around earth, through the atmosphere that gives the moon that eerie red tinge...but in truth, i know nothing!

not sure if someone posted the link yet,

The blue light is reflected by the daylight side of the earth, leaving the lower red spectrum.




/BTW Justin, Ni-Cd was the one who pushed you in the water while fishing in Keswick.
