Lunar Eclipse

I understand that tomorrow 14/6, there is to be a Total Lunar Eclipse, any chance you could bring us up to speed on this Snowcrash?.

Re: Lunar Eclipse

It's about shadows and stuff.

And the moon goes dark orange.

Re: Lunar Eclipse

Right, so is this a Total Eclipse or some other anomaly?. What's the best time to observe this and where should we look?.

Re: Lunar Eclipse

This is the first I've heard of it.

My moon app says it a full Moon on the 15th called 'The Strawberry Moon' but it says nothing of an eclipse. Bl**d! useless app.

There are 3-4 a year (partial) eclipses a year.

I'm not going to google it 'cos you didn't answer your post 'Oh Wise One' or some such.

Re: Lunar Eclipse

OK, I googled it.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/June_2011_lunar_eclipse

The best place to view it is East Africa, Middle East and India.

It will be at it's greatest at 21:12:37 BST. So look east at Moon rise.
It starts 20:22:11 to 22:03:22 BST for totality, approx 1 hr 40 mins.

Re: Lunar Eclipse

As usual, the British weather left me underwhelmed.

I didn't even bother to go out as it was totally overcast.  Sad
