Lunar Eclipse * 4
    #15487244 -

Lunar Eclipse
Saturday night
Sunday morning
Should be beautiful
As usual

So if you are up
And outside
Without city lights all around
And even then maybe
You will see it

Imagine in days gone by
Many moons ago
How weird that must have been to see
A Lunar Eclipse

Yes, according to space.com it is supposed to be quite a sight. Lack of recent volcanic activity combined with light bending around the atmosphere of the earth will color the moon bright red with some blue at the bottom, not to mention the moon will also be under the effect of an optical illusion that makes it appear much larger than normal. All of these things combined should make for quite a interesting sight.

A pancake landing in the desert, scrambled egg dipping below the horizon; Steaming tendrils glisten...and then.. The wine dark sky.

I believe it will be even more rare.  Some folk might even get the sight of seeing the sun and the moon at the same time.  I forget what the effect is called but Diploid would know and it's very rare.  I'll have my scope out and we have a good chance of clear skies here.

Besides the total eclipse, those awake just before dawn will see the  rare "selenelion" effect -- when both the sun and moon are visible on opposite horizons. That effect is counter-intuitive during an eclipse, when the sun and moon are in a perfectly straight line divided only by Earth.

This Website said:
The total eclipse will begin at 6:06 a.m. PST and last for 61 minutes, but Seattle sky-watchers will get their best view of the eclipse's early stages around 5 a.m. The best views will be from the top of a hill.



So Dec. 10th, 2011 at about 4:30am pst... I'm setting my alarm!

It's 5:12 AM  and I've just been outside watching it in a small telescope.  It's about a third darkened going from top to bottom.  The skies are perfectly clear and bright.  Haven't seen the space aliens that are causing this however but they're still time.

I watched it from about 5:00AM to 6:00AM. It was not as bright red and colorful as I hoped it would be, but that makes sense because it was a shadow of red light...

Heres a picture of it that was on space.com.


Sadly the brightest moment of the eclipse was to be at 6:06AM, which was after I went back to bed.

Sadly I am my usual complete fuck up and managed to miss it.  For some reason I thought it was Sunday morning not Saturday morning as advertised.  Well the "good" news is that it was misty nasty cold and you apparently couldn't see much.

The worst part is I proudly announced last night at the full poker table be sure to not miss the lunar eclipse.  They got a good laugh.

I watched most of it for almost two hours.  I did actually look best as it was beginning to lighten again and was closer to the horizon.  It was fairly red from where I was.  Not blood red or anything. This will be the last one before the world ends.  Glad I saw it.

Yea I'm glad someone saw it.  Like I said it happened to be super foggy misty and cold that AM and I can at least feel better I didn't stand out there and shiver for two hours.  I will probably miss the end of the world too but that may be for the better.
