Title: Yar, Lunar Eclipse
Post by: watsisname on August 27, 2007, 08:54:43 am

There will be another lunar eclipse this Tuesday, visible from the America's, Australia, and eastern Asia.  (Sucks for you, Europe-dwellers) :p  This one is notable for being the longest lasting one in quite a while; the moon will be in umbral shadow for 1 hour and 46 minutes, starting at 9:52am UT (4:52am East US).

Wow, I haven't seen you in a while. Welcome back.

The timing is good. Maybe I'll be able to see it from here.

And me :doubt:

I consider myself an Eclipse. There's no need for me to look at another Eclipse. Full stop.

Whoops, I completely screwed the time conversion... it actually starts at ~5am Eastern.  Little late for most folks unfortunately.  :doubt:

Tis in totality and set for my viewing area.  Managed to catch some views through scattered cloud and it looked pretty cool as it was very low on the horizon.

Looked rather nice. It's no Solar eclipse, but it'll have to do.
