My daughter sent me a link to an article in her town that informed people of an important partial (almost full) lunar eclipse that was happening on Friday.
According to Forbes Magazine:
"North America is perfectly placed to see this global event, which will happen at exactly the same time for everyone on the night-side of Earth. However, the local time it will happen where you are depends on where you live. So get the exact celestial schedule for your location and consult an interactive map of the event."
Again, according to Forbes Magazine:
"The partial lunar eclipse will last three hours 28 minutes and 23 seconds making it the longest partial lunar eclipse between 2001 and 2100 according to NASA. It’s also the longest partial lunar eclipse for 580 years."
So anyway, for the mainland U.S. everybody will see it on Friday morning. Here in Hawaii, we'll have to stay up until 11:02 PM on Thursday night. (Our weather forecasters were calling it the Beaver Moon.)
Hmmm...
This is almost a challenge.
I wonder if it'll rain.
Are you going to watch for it?
I'll probably be asleep. Most of time when I stay up, a cloud is blocking it
ReplyDeleteDan just read forecast on Friday is for snow so if I get up to use the bathroom at 4 and look out I may see the moon or may see the snow falling. Did see the moon last night and it was almost full.
ReplyDeleteIt will hit here around 3 AM. Sometimes that is potty break time and if so I will give it a look. Won't set the alarm though.
ReplyDeletethanks for the reminder, I'll probably just sleep through it...too cold to go outside at night!
ReplyDeleteI will not be up at 3 am.
ReplyDeleteIf I happen to wake up and not get back to sleep, a possibility these days, I may have to go outside and take a gander.
ReplyDeleteI will try to remember thanks
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays now. The Eclipse: It happens here at one in the morning. I'm guessing that the beach fog will obscure it and we will sleep through it. Daarn.
ReplyDeleteIt's usually too cloudy here to see celestial events. I'd like to, if the weather permits.
ReplyDeleteI probably won't because I am trying to go to bed early. Staying up late and watching too many shows online really made me weaker and get sick. Sleep is a healer and maintainer of good health so I am really taking care nowadays.
ReplyDeleteI don’t know: middle of the night and darn cold here.
ReplyDeleteI'll see if I can remember. And if my chance I happen to be awake.
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen a solar eclipse for a while so I better check this one out.
ReplyDeleteThank you Kay for the timing!
ReplyDeleteThe weather man says it will be raining here......again.
ReplyDeleteMahalo for the info, but I must sleep then, in order to wake at 5:30 a.m. for a 12-hour work shift....hopefully they'll be pics. Linda in Kansas
ReplyDeleteEclipses are always exiting events.
ReplyDelete... meanwhile here in the UK we have been experiencing Leonid meteor showers.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
It's quite amazing.
