Lunar Eclipse Time
February 19, 2008Yeah, I'll admit it. I'm a bit of an astronomy nerd.
I have always been interested in that kind of stuff... and in case you haven't heard, there is a Lunar Eclipse Wednesday night.
Good thing about this one... it's going to be at a time where you can get your kids out and watch it happen. Now, it'll be a little later than some folks bed time for their children, but I suppose you could make an exception for this one.
I mean, it'll be the last Lunar Eclipse that we'll see until Dec. 2010. May as well enjoy it.
Here's a chart showing you the times to be outside looking. They are all on central time so you don't have to figure it up in your head.
I'd like to try my hand at photographing it... but I'm really just not sure of what all I'll need for that. I think I might just sit back and enjoy it.
Here is a website full of good information and animations about the eclipse.
Here is one of my daily reads. Spaceweather.com usually has a wonderful forecast for night sky events like meteor showers and whatnot.
That is... as long as it's a clear night, which we're never completely assured of. Booooo clouds. Yay moon.
