Lunar Eclipse
Wednesday, February 20, 2008
Tonight was the lunar eclipse and if you are reading this right now, go outside to catch it in action. As of 10:05pm the moon was nearly covered and it was dark orange in color. In about 20 minutes you should see the white starting to appear from the left. Unfortunately its 19 degrees out so staying outside for more than 15 minutes at a time is pretty hard. I couldn't find the eye pieces to my telescope so I had to pull out some old binoculars to watch. They did the trick so I wasn't too upset. The last time I witnessed a lunar eclipse was back in '99 while living in Oregon.
