Title: Lunar Eclipse tonight!
Post by: Naesala on December 21, 2010, 03:30:35 AM
For those in North America you'll be able to see a full lunar eclipse. If it keeps clear I'll be able to see it and hopefully take some pictures, remember, Keep watching the skies.

Thank you very much.

Could you take pictures? I don't know if it will remain clear for me.

I missed it. And I was really looking forward to it, I don't remember the last time there was an eclipse that you could see from my area.

Even though Eclipses are happen multiple times in a year, they seem to rarely happen for North America.

Here are the projected Eclipses for the Next 10 years. (http://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/LEdecade/LEdecade2011.html).

For North America, this means we get one near moonset on Dec 10th, 2011.

I should visit Austraila next year, they are going to be able to see it in all of it's glory.

For pat and future eclipses, i recommend looking at NASA's Eclipse Page (http://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/eclipse.html). It covers the eclipses, regardless of the region that is affected.
