marino Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Lunar eclipse tonight! "Red Moon". Total moon eclipse coinciding with Winter Solstice; a very rare occurrence. It happened just once in the last 2000 years, about 400 years ago. Link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SK Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 I set my alarm and am looking at it now. Too many clouds but I can see it. It was a reddish rust color and now it's almost dark with a yellowish band around it. I'm sure if the sky was clear it would be great. As it is, my neighborhood is getting the bogus eclipse experience. CD: http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/stevekessler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BP3 Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 What a brilliant experience. Absoulutely clear sky. Orion pointed the way. I listened to Larry Fast (Snynergy -"Cords") while I took it all in. It almost looked like Mars had moved to the neighborhood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoahZark Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 From the linked article (emphasis added): "The reason why this rarity is special is because near the horizon the moon appears a lot larger than how we normally perceive it directly overhead. This is due to the 'Moon Illusion' phenomenon which makes the moon look larger due to an optical illusion. The moon does not actually increase in size as one may assume." Ummm, what moron would assume that the moon actually increases in size??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnchop Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 @NoahZark: same morons who think we didn't land on it perhaps? Had a clear sky last night. Lots of light pollution, but I could make out all the constellations. The moon appeared pinkish-orange, and I caught sight of two meteors streaking in. Very cool. A nice antidote to the earlier work of effing around with iLoks, hard drive installation, and latency problems. -J I make software noises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seannn Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Same where I was in the west-end of Montreal. And the light pollution didn't help either.

Josh Paxton Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Clear skies and an awesome view for me. Was just getting out of a gig, and the entire clientele of the bar went outside and blocked off the street to watch it. It was a good night.

Gismo Recording Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 I think it was too cloudy here as well but I didn't try to see it. I was asleep. Ken Denny Gismo Recording So Cliché Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewImprov Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 It had been cloudy and rainy all day here in Oregon, but there was a brief clear period at about midnight, I went outside, and the moon was right overhead, blurry and very red. Was able to watch it for about 15 minutes before the clouds drifted back.
