Jediteo Posted December 20, 2010 Posted December 20, 2010 If anyone is interested, there is a lunar eclipse tonight, best seen from the North American east coast, but can be seen in parts of europe and the west coast. I strongly suggest you take a look. Its greatest intensity will be at 8.16 UTC(GMT) (on the 21st) , that is about will be the most intense (in the umbra) at 3.17 EST (UTC-5) or 12.17 PST (UTC- (tonight the 20th). This will be a full eclipse if seen from North America, us europeans will wake up to a red moon. More info below. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/21_December_2010_lunar_eclipse Quite a sight, enjoy.

At that time of the day everything will be red Seriously though, I may get the family up to see this as it is quite an event. Winter Solstice and alignment with centre of Milky Way or so I have read.

Blairgowrie Posted December 20, 2010 Posted December 20, 2010 I may try catching it on reruns. That sure is an early rise time. Quote
