furdog 525 Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Anybody else waking up extra early tomorrow (Oct 8) to check out the lunar eclipse? http://www.skyandtelescope.com/astronomy-news/observing-news/total-lunar-eclipse-09262014/ My daughter informed me that she needed to get to bed early tonight so that I could wake her up at 5:15 am CST in the morning to check this out.

Jaggy 2,811 Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 It would be nice to be up and see it, but I need my sleep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mailbox_Bomber 182 Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Hell yeah, blood moon! I'd take pictures but all I have is a cell phone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cotick20 351 Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Seriously? Whats with that -- cant they do a lunar eclipse at a more respectable time like late afternoon... My wife and son said they will wake up with me to watch the eclipse at 5 AM -- I asked them to take a picture...

Fido_le_muet 5,197 Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 I can't wait for March 20th! Fucking need to find me some eclipse glasses. Apparently the moon will cover about 66% of the sun where I am in france. It won't be as awesome as the full eclipse of 1999. I remember it very well and it was amazing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rumdig 957 Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 According to Jewish tradition, an eclipse on March 1st, also known as Nisan 1 (1st day of 1st month of biblical calendar) is considered a sign of judgement. This has proven true in the past. Just another sign...You people DO need Jesus! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pb76 3,951 Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 (edited) 80 percent coverage for me90 percent cloud coverage! It did work to my advantage though........(it looks like a shot of the moon, but if you look closely you can see some blue sky) Edited March 20, 2015 by Pb76 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronin 596 Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 (edited) My UK colleague who's also an amateur astrologist and lives in Cumbria, sent me this pic earlier this week. Lucky b@st@rd As for the yesterday's solar eclipse, apart from a small banana shaped sun and a bit less sunshine, it wasn't exactly the most inspiring experience tbh ....

ronin 596 Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 100% cloud coverage here in France... Got a beautiful grey sky instead of an ugly ass eclipse... Same here, Fido. Got somewhat lucky and managed to get a peek when driving to work. Tbh, you did not miss much. Just a little bit darker then usual and a banana shaped sun, just like a crescent moon, only a bit brighter and during day time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fido_le_muet 5,197 Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Yeah I noticed the darkness for a few minutes despite the cloud cover. I was still pissed cause I love astronomy and phenomenon like this. Brings people together I love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
