Lunar Eclipse tonight
Eclipse Info The website has a chart, that will explain the timeline, for different timezones. Partial eclipse begins: 8:43 EST 7:43 CST 6:43 MST 5:43 PST It's supposed to be good and cold tonight, in WI, so I'll only see bits and pieces, when I'm out with the dog, unlike a few years ago, when it happened in fall, and it was cool, but we bundled up and watched from our lawn chairs.
I stayed up for the last one. I'm sleeping this time! LOL
It's raining here....:-(
The moon is a cool, reddish color right now! Gary is out taking pictures, for the newspaper. I will post the link tomorrow.
Ok no science / history buff here. How often do these things happen with the moon and sun?
I believe the next lunar eclipse is not set to happen until 2010, according to a source I read, but I can't remember the source right now. Have you checked the link Dawn gave us? There's some information that may answer your question way down at the bottom of the page.
We enjoyed watching it.
According to our local newspaper: The next total lunar eclipse will be Dec. 20, 2010. There were two such eclipses last year. Later this year, in August, a total solar eclipse and a partial lunar eclipse will occur. Gary's Eclipse Pics
I had a great view of it and it was quite beautiful!
