Lunar Eclipse Occur(ed) Wednesday Nite
« on: February 20, 2008, 06:51:10 PM »
Well i dont post as much I use to... put here is some FYI....

Wednesday's event will be the last total lunar eclipse until Dec. 20, 2010. Last year there were two.




LOS ANGELES  AP- The last total lunar eclipse until 2010 occurs Wednesday night, with cameo appearances by Saturn and the bright star Regulus on either side of the veiled full moon.

Skywatchers viewing through a telescope will have the added treat of seeing Saturn's handsome rings.

Weather permitting, the total eclipse can be seen from North and South America. People in Europe and Africa will be able to see it high in the sky before dawn on Thursday.

As the moonlight dims — it won't go totally dark — Saturn and Regulus will pop out and sandwich the moon. Regulus is the brightest star in the constellation Leo.

Wednesday's total eclipse phase will last nearly an hour. Earth's shadow is expected to blot out the moon beginning around 7 p.m. on the West Coast and 10 p.m. on the East Coast. West Coast skygazers will miss the start of the eclipse because it occurs before the moon rises.

Unlike solar eclipses which require protective eyewear, lunar eclipses are safe to view with the naked eye.

Later this year, in August, there will be a total solar eclipse and a partial lunar eclipse.

NASA's lunar eclipse page: http://sunearth.gsfc.nasa.gov/eclipse/lunar.html




"What is a Lunar Eclipse you may ask"?
A total lunar eclipse occurs when the full moon passes into Earth's shadow and is blocked from the sun's rays that normally illuminate it. During an eclipse, the sun, Earth and moon line up, leaving a darkened moon visible to observers on the night side of the planet.

Hopefully, I can see it in Korea--but I doubt it. The alignment will most likely be off.

I was in choir rehearsal during the eclipse. And even if I didn't have rehearsal, cloud cover would've blocked my view.

I had planned to take some pictures with my camera.  It has a night mode that I wanted to try out.  I fell asleep during "House of Payne" and forgot all about it.

I wish I woulda went out to see it

The orange moon peeps out from behind the Empire State Building in New York



The view of the lunar eclipse above the Orthodox church in Moscow


The eclipse could be seen above the statue of the Virgin Mary holding Jesus at Notre Dame Cathedral outside Jerusalem's Old City

It took 50 minutes for the moon's ghostly-white colour to turn to deep orangey-red
