Lunar Eclipse

[stuey]

We get to see, hopefully, a total lunar eclipse, or "blood moon, tomorrow. I'll have to see if the conditions are good for photography. It seems you don't get to see it in the UK. "This Total Lunar Eclipse or "Blood Moon", is on April 4, 2015 and will be visible in most of North America, South America, Asia and parts of Australia. The Moon will be totally eclipsed (totality) for about 5 minutes. From beginning to end, it will last for 3 hours and 29 mins. This is the third eclipse in the 2014–2015 tetrad." Moon rise is at 8:08 pm at 100 degrees.

No: I just thought it might be interesting. I'm not really that interested in astronomical events; however, I do sometimes espy a particularly heavenly body:)
