OT Anyone going to watch the Blood Moon tonight?
It is going to be cloudy here, but we are going to be on the look out.
You can use a program called Stellarium and do a dry run on your computer. http://www.stellarium.org/ http://www.al.com/news/index.ssf/201...rmoon_ton.html Set your local area: Use the search box to search for "moon" My time is around 9:00 PM EST. Set the time for your area Use the mouse wheel to zoom in on the moon a few times. Accellerate time to watch it happen. |

Very frustrating though, in front of me where the moon was it was 95% cloud cover, behind only about 20%. It would appear for maybe 30 secs, then be gone for 5 mins. But it got better the closer to full eclipse it got, at the end it was in clear sky for many minutes. Much better than I expected from the forecasts. |
