December 21, 2010 lunar eclipse

[roach]

Did anyone check it out?

Only on youtube 720p and wikipedia, it was cloudy here so I couldn't see it IRL.

[Amomynous]

Cloudy here, unfortunately.

I enjoyed the last one, even if my son was distinctly underwhelmed.

[judih]

but there's gonna be more to see in six months. stay tuned for june equinox (with hopes for clear skies)

[Amomynous]

What happens in June? Another eclipse?

I saw the tail end through the clouds.

hi amom

june 15: total lunar eclipse
things will start at around 5:30 p.m. with a total lunar at around 7:30 - which makes for easy observation. Total eclipse will be about 100 minutes.

and correction to my previous post: june solstice (not equinox)
