Lunar Eclipse tomorrow
The always useful
Space Weather has the goods on tomorrows Lunar Eclipse.
They link to
a NASA site for this information:
bq. It's a lunar eclipse. Beginning at 9:14 p.m. EDT (6:14 p.m. PDT), the moon will glide through Earth's shadow for more than three hours. Observers on every continent (
map) except Australia can see the event: The pale-white moon will turn pumpkin orange as it plunges into shadow, becoming eerie red during totality.
We are in the Pacific Northwest and will miss the first part of the eclipse but should see Totality (if the rain-weasels keep the clouds away -- we have been leaving offerings).
Times for the Pacific Coast are:
Totality begins: 7:23 p.m.
Totality ends: 8:45 p.m.
Exits Earth's shadow: 9:54 p.m.
Check the links for info on your own site.
