PSA: Lunar Eclipse Alert

[scarlettina]

February 20, 2008: We'll have a total eclipse of the moon this week. Check the link for complete details and a map of totality. In the Pacific Northwest, if I'm reading the map right, we'll see the eclipse at moonrise, but my Back East Posse will be able to see the whole thing.

I love eclipses. They are magnificent reminders of our place in the universe and its beautiful mechanics. I hope we'll have a clear evening for viewing. I haven't seen a total eclipse in a very long time.

RadCon coverage will resume after I get a little rest.

Must be going good then!

I love astronomy geekery. Thank you! :D

Am I right that this means I could see a total eclipse from my place at 3 AM, provided it's not cloudy outside?

Thereabouts, yes. If you're willing to be up at that hour in the middle of a work week. :-)

That's so cool! I saw one once back home in Hawaii...

Damn the Las Vegas strip, there are just too many lights to compete with the moon.
