Lunar eclipse tomorrow

[Ydoow]

Just saw that there will be a Partial Lunar eclipse tomorrow night, Monday.

Should be visible for all of North America, although the East Coast won\'t get to see as much of it as more Western areas (damn)

So many terrestrial events happening!

I\'ll check it out.

Seriously, how do I miss all this?

Seriously, how do I miss all this?

It hasn\'t happened yet, but I only barely noticed a small little google article on it earlier today

[Candre]

I know, it\'s just that I always seem to have no idea that something big is going to happen ???

[Ydoow]

Yeah me neither lol.

I just recently started looking at google.com/news and adjust it to hide stuff I don\'t care about (business, sports, entertainment, etc) and only show things I do like (anything sciencey).

So now I get a lot of these things

Visible in Britain?

[Candre]

The eclipse got clouded out in L.A

[Ydoow]

Visible in Britain?

Nothing interesting happens here. :B

Not to worry; according to the Wiki, we should get our next lunar eclipse (not counting barely visible penumbral ones) in... September 2015.

[Luigibro606]

Sounds good. /sarcasm

Um, I wouldn\'t trust that image from Wikipedia... try this one from EarthSky.com, it shows a proper mapping of visibility and it says Britain will be able to just barely catch it.

Uh, Captn, that\'s an image of the Venus transit.

We\'re discussing the Lunar Eclipse that is supposed to occur tonight (1 day before the Venus Transit)

Wait, it\'s tomorrow? Wow, I got up at 4AM this morning for nothing. Sigh...

EDIT:

Uh-oh. It already happened.

[Anomalous_Matter]

Where do you live? Asia will see it at Moon-rise, everyone else see\'s it at Moon-set.

I live in NY, so I have to get up super early to see it.

Which...probably won\'t happen lol
