Twisted Acres Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 If you're into this sort of thing, a total lunar eclipse will be visible for much of the Northern Hemisphere tonight. Starts at about 8:50 eastern time, totality lasts from about 10pm 'til 11pm, and then the earth's shadow moves away. Of course, whether one is able to view it depends upon the weather in their area. The average person has the opportunity of witness only about 40 of these in their lifetime, so take advantage if skies are clear! Maybe Jeff & co. will stop the show and bring everyone out onto N. Racine for an impromptu science class with Professor Nels. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080220/ap_on_sc/lunar_eclipse_3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

caliber66 Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 we had a partial one last week down here ... i needed a welding mask to watch itI don't imagine that's the case if it was a partial lunar eclipse. Unfortunately, I don't think I'll be able to see this one, as we're supposed to have snow all day. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

IATTBYB Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 Wilco took a break just to check out the eclipse. I just went outside and it is nearly total. Too bad its only about 5 degrees out, or I would check it out some more. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
