Phil Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 So, you want to see a total lunar eclipse? Then plan to stay up late tonight and cross your fingers that clouds aren't in the way, because if you're in North America this could be your last chance to see one this clearly until 2019. Monday night is the first of four consecutive total eclipses, at six-month intervals, that will also bring a "blood moon" into the night sky. Tonight's event begins at around 2:00 a.m. EDT and should be visible from both North and South America. The remaining total lunar eclipses of the set -- known as a tetrad -- will occur on October 8, 2014; April 4, 2015; and September 28, 2015. http://blogs.discovery.com/inscider/2014/04/april-15-lunar-eclipse-blood-moon.html#mkcpgn=fbsci1 -- So basically, if you're on the Eastern seaboard, around 2AM you can see this, provided you have clear skies.

Parsley Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Weather will try to fuck this up with lots of clouds overnight. Hopefully we can avoid a fully overcast sky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jules Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 No Blood Moon around here, but the Moon is exceptionally bright and it's always lovely to see Mars with the naked eye as well. Mars is the closest to Earth in over six years today and tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
