Don't miss this y'all! It is going to be spectacular. Sunday May 15 at 8:31 PM. I will be posting telescope video if the weather is clear. The eclipse will be pretty long, lasting about 84 minutes. Hope some good pics will be posted here.



Blood moon lunar eclipse this weekend

quote:

A total lunar eclipse occurs when the Earth gets precisely between the Sun and a full Moon, preventing direct sunlight from shining on to the lunar surface. The only light that gets through to the Moon is first filtered by Earth’s atmosphere.


quote:

It will be slightly larger than the average Moon. That’s because it’s technically a “supermoon,” one of the closest four full Mons of the year. However, the 7% increase in the Moon’s apparent size won’t be noticeable. From the surface of the Moon, the Earth will totally eclipse the Sun. Anyone on the Moon would see a red ring around the Earth’s atmosphere, everything around them would look red and it would get very cold.

I'm surprised there is nothing on the news about it.

We are all distracted by the awful things going on, it will be so nice to gaze at a wondrous natural phenomenon for an hour and a half.

A white man shot up a black grocery store. There will not be any other news than that for about 2&1/2 weeks.
