lunar eclipse TONIGHT! 20th/21th

^^blimey a lifetime supporter from nearly 2 years ago with a post count of only 20, that's a rare occurrence in itself! ps. hello to you whoever you are

 

Weather forecast isn't looking too good for this actually, looks like it will be too misty/cloudy. I'll see what it is like when i get up.

 

It's totally cloudy, but I'm setting my alarm for 4:00AM just in case! I remember the last eclipse was so weird. The moon looked like a giant orange floating in the sky.

 

4am? you'll have missed it!

 

Yeah I am setting my alarm for 4am in scotland!

 

I heard on the radio it was between 3-5AM but they must have been talking est. Scratch that....I'll set it for midnight.:mickey: Thankee.

 

hey Boogabaah, what time do us californians watch for it? I read after 3am but god damn I hope that's not correct

 

I read for us WA people that you need to be ready at 11:30pm and it will go for over an hour.

I'll try and find the link.
