Lunar Eclips
The lunar ecplis is now PERFECTLY visible. I live in the central timezone and it is perfect.
Times:
West coast: 7:00
Mountain: 8:00
Central: 9:00
East coast: 10:00
Next time it will come is in 2010.
What is lunar ecplis?

The sun's
light is blocked by the earth, so basicly there is
no moon. (Highlight the last 2 words)

Lol, here the red moon was at 5:26 in the morning and at that time, there is no chance I would even open my eyes…
@Bullzeye & Harry: We don't need their stupid moon :D
Didn't you say you live in Africa?…jw
Also admin / mod CAN if they want, close thread since it is long over now.

I got some crappy pics. My camera sucks, it doesn't know if the battery is dead or not, so it shuts off. Here's the best I got:
i remember a solar eclips when i was in kindergarden, it was COMPLETELY DARK, and we were just running around, and i losted a friend that day… (ran on the street and got hit by a car…)…
You can almost never take pictures of the sky. At least that was back in the day of filmed camras. It was because the light of the flash has to go all the way to space then bounce off and come back, errr something like that.

The flash has to travel all the way to space and come back to the camera before the picture gets taken. But considering the speed of light…That is probably possible except we don't have (yet) have any lights THAT good…

I went out around 9:30 last night. It was too cloudy to get a good look at it, but every once in a while it came through a break. :)

Yea it looks sweet, but it never looks as well as those professional photos of it perfectly lined up and blood red. To me, it just looked like a little dim red with a little sliver black.

You're lucky. I watched it for a while, and it never turned red (at all). :(

That eclipse wasted several seconds of my life that i'll never get back. Wasn't very "great" anyways.

It was cloudy when it happened so I couldn't see it. It's never cloudy in Arizona why did it have to be then?
ffs admin / mod close this thread. I have a fealing people are spaming it for post count. This happened many nights ago and is over now.
