That's no moon...

[Salem Ave]

Tonight - or this afternoon, evening, perhaps even tomorrow morning depending where you are - there is a lunar eclipse! You can find out when it will be visible in your time-zone, as well as how clearly you'll be able to see it, by checking out: http://sunearth.gsfc.nasa.gov/eclipse/LEmono/TLE2008Feb21/TLE2008Feb21.html

Oooooh very nice! :D

[Salem Ave]

I know, right? I'm gonna try and get me some photos of the blood-red moon :cool

[Tri'ahna Zylary]

Hmphhh.... I dunno if I'll stay up for this one..... it's happening around 4am where I am....

[Salem Ave]

It's only an hour earlier here, and I'll be staying up ;)

[Tri'ahna Zylary]

yeah but you don't have a court hearing tomorrow at 9 :p

[Salem Ave]

True, true. I just have to go debate the merits and flaws of The Bionic Woman :lol

[Razielle Alastor]

I'll probably get giggly, then go outside and frolic, if it isn't too cold. It's also coinciding with the Ice Moon, Wild Moon, Quickening Moon.. whichever suits. :p

OMG the howling will keep my kids up..

|I

(No, not me howling, the wildilfe.. :twak )

[Kraehe Branwen]

>.< If it weren't so dang cold out I'd go watch. But its frigid! And my hands are already cracking from being dried out by the blustering winds.

[Ilias Nytrau]

Bah. It's all cloudy here. :\ And It's been so sunny for the past four days!

[Aretsuya]

Oooo. I can't see past the sandstorms, but I'll look out for it.

[Sam]

Dammit! Who pissed off the gods?

[Yog]

Of course, it is fog over here.. :rolleyes

[Arabella Balfour]

I've got blue skies. See how I'm favored... :D

[Pierce Tondry]

I'll get to catch it easily. Woot woot!


True, true. I just have to go debate the merits and flaws of The Bionic Woman :lol

Not to sidetrack the thread, but why are you doing this?

Also, you know you howl Raz. Don't even try denying it. ;)

[Salem Ave]

I think I might howl too, in true wofl style :wofl



True, true. I just have to go debate the merits and flaws of The Bionic Woman :lol

Not to sidetrack the thread, but why are you doing this?

One of the classes I'm taking this term is called 'Violent Femmes', in which we study representations of active women in popular culture. We looked at 'The Avengers' a couple of weeks back, and 'The Bionic Woman' is our focus this week :)

[Tri'ahna Zylary]

Oh yeah so apparently my daughter seems to think that the lunar eclipse is going to turn all the power out all over the world, and little Eddie from the Munsters is going to come to her in her dream and keep howling.....

:D gotta love a child's imagination...

[Ilias Nytrau]

Whee! The sky is clearing up.... either that or the gods are taunting me. :grumble

[Yog]

The fog cleared, but now it's clouds.. :shakefist

[Vince]

I'm watching it right now! SWEET!

[Kallum Romanoch]

The cloud cover is so thick tonight that I can only tell where the moon is judging by the pale shade of a cloud section. :\

I can't complain though, last year I was privy to one of the most remarkable lunar eclipses we've had in a long time and there wasn't a cloud in sight.

[Razielle Alastor]

I just went outside to look before posting. Right now 10pm EST, where the moon should be a silver-white, it's more cream colored with clay red creeping over it, in sort of a flame shape. It's amazing and I wish I had a camera to do it justice.

I'll go look again in a bit. :D

[Miranda Tarkin]

I just peeked outside and saw the same thing that Raz said. it's so beautiful!

[Razielle Alastor]

I also forgot to mention there is a rainbow halo as well.. If you pay attention to such things. ;)

[Rossos Atrapes]

It's starting to darken further where I am. All of it's brownish red, and the left side is growing darker, with the furthest left gone from my view.

[Ilias Nytrau]

That's some pretty stuff. Glad I got to see it. Thank you clouds, for going AWAY.

[Dasquian Belargic]

The clouds never moved :(

[Yog]

Total lunar eclipse from tonight in fast motion!

[Rutabaga]

It was cloudy here, but not solid clouds. So I was able to see some of the moon as it rose while it was maybe 1/3 eclipsed, then I was able to see some of the total eclispe...it looked kind of like a pale smudge that you had to look hard to find. But it was there!

[Dasquian Belargic]

Great video, Yog :)


The 60s one with Dianna Rigg, right?

That's right. We are working our way forward from The Avengers, Charlies Angels and The Bionic Woman to Terminator 2 and Alias.

[Morgan Evanar]

Diana Rigg is dreamy :love

[Khendon Sevon]

Saw it all high above the NYC skyline while walking back from having a few brews with my buddies.

[Lilaena De'Ville]

I missed the whole thing - forgot about it until I was watching the news and it was too late. :\
