Total Lunar Eclipse at 3am (British Time) Thursday 21st February!
- the shadow cast by the Earth on the Moon will colour our neighbour: Brick, Copper or even Blood Red as sunlight scattered around the edge of our atmosphere gives the Lunar surface a warm glow! e.g. the Earth, Moon & Sun form a straight line in space, so the Moon passes through our Earth's shadow! The outer part of the shadow, called the Penumbra, creates the slight dusky shading. Seven years before the next one! ... It could be an Omen folks ...
I'll be watching out tonight, but I'm lucky 'cos there ain't much light pollution where I live ... Let's hope the sky is clear!

Aye. A beautyfull eclipse. All of last week we had a wonderfully clear sky here. and tonight: Warmfront. Fat grey clouds. Visibillity near zero. Drizzle.

What good are pictures? I saw a partial eclipse of the moon in 1997. That wasn't just that the moon got darker, I could finally really see it as a ball. Pics just can't really transport that. An outstanding experience. The latest weather reports say there is a slight chance of bits of clear sky. About 100 miles north, it woukld be just fine. A kingdom for a car!

Just went out to watch the beginning of the eclipse; going back outside in about 20 min. to see the halfway-point of the event (it's about -11C outside right now, so staying out there for the whole thing is out of the question - brrrrrrrr!). I hope it gets more vibrant; right now, it's just a slight dull-coppery tinge on grey...
Still, stunning. Like Jums mentioned, it really looks 3-D!
Myself and Mrs Spigel and little Miss Spigel fell out bed at 4am .We made some camomile tea and sat and watch the moon slowly turn red. We sat staring at the night sky it for about 15 mins or so and then stummbled back to sleepyville. It was worth getting out of bed for.
For the first time the noisy cnut from downstairs did a good thing making noise in the middle of the night. I woke up, and could even get a few glimpses through holes in the clouds!
A~mazing!

Did I read that correctly?
- Our Hostess venturing outside in a chilly wasteland ...
So was it an Omen for y'all or do we have to wait and see?
I had my camera & tripod ready but 'twas very windy here with lots of clouds dashing past overhead - sort of spectacular I guess, but sadly I didn't have the equipment to record it ... Would have made a good backdrop for a movie or The Next Album! - I was waiting to hear the first rolls of Doktor Avalanche wafting down the valley, but nothing ...
Meanwhile, I enjoyed reading about your experiences! - Nice to know there's a real world out there sometimes eh folks? Thanks!

There's a galaxy out there and it's not all scary.
Oh but I do my dear! - I'm lucky enough (?) to live beyond the glare of neon lights, so I see a better free light-show than most of you ... Shooting Stars are my favourite but we have to wait 'til August for them eh?!
This observatory is just 'down the road' from me! - Bet you haven't got one where you live, eh?

Oh jolly good my dear! ~ a common ground as to watching the skies.
Definately lucky to be beyond that kind of glare. Shooting Stars, gawd how I miss them! You are lucky to live where you do dear sir, I think and hello to you by the way, I go around these parts known as MB .
Where I live it's as flat as a pancake and most times of the year, cloudy or with rain, but come from a place where the stars shine in the southern hemisphere and those skies are thee most beautiful in the world IMHO.
it's all about circles and spirals
that ongoing eternity

It ain't always an advantage living around here - no worthwhile employment!

Mars is high in the sky (for the northern hemisphere) at the moment, look for a pinkish 'star' just above and to the left of Orion. A pair of binoculars should be enough to resolve the disk.
Saturn is in Leo at the moment, not far from Regulus. You should be able to make out the rings through binoculars or a small telescope.
The fundamental cause of the trouble is that in the modern world the stupid are cocksure while the intelligent are full of doubt.
