Total Eclipse of the Moon: Feb 20!
Start thinking of your favourite dark place and get your tripods ready! As seen on Yahoo! News this morning:
Mark Wednesday, Feb. 20, on your calendar as “Lunar Eclipse Night,” for if the weather is fair you should have no difficulty observing a total eclipse of the moon.
The eclipse will be visible wherever the moon is above the horizon during the time frame that the eclipse is taking place. As it turns out, North and South America will turned toward the moon and will be in excellent position for this sky show.
The image above was grabbed off my favourite time and date website. It has a handy Day & Night World Map that also displays the relative position of the sun and the moon for a given time and place.
