Eclipse set to be 'best in years'

Eclipse set to be 'best in years' 2007-03-03 15:31:26


Skywatchers eagerly awaiting Saturday's total lunar eclipse say that the spectacle could be the "best in years".

The eclipse begins at 2018 GMT, with the Moon totally immersed in the shadow of the Earth between 2244 and 2358 GMT.

During "totality", only light that has been filtered through the Earth's atmosphere reaches the Moon's surface, making it appear a reddish colour.

The eclipse will be visible from the whole of Europe, Africa, South America, and eastern parts of the US and Canada.

I realise my use of the comma is pretentious as fuck, but it's habit.

Thanks to Mr. MuffDiver for the sig.

I'll look out for it tonight, the article says the east coast should be able to see it.

I've always wanted to see if these things were actually cool or not.

it says the eclipse began in the first sentence,does that mean it already happened?

Me and my friend are shouting at the sun to get moving, as we are totally bored, and we are total psychos.

I think I win good Sir.

From where I am, it's about 1/8 gone, but it might just be cloud cover, I can't really tell.

When do we sacrifice the virgins to assure it's return?

No, its about 1.5/4 gone for me now. No, its not cloud.

Their time will come.

Anyho, bright cloudless sky, at the moment (I've just jinxed it, havent I?). Here in the great land of England. Watching it through the glass of my hugeass conservatory.

I just went out to watch it, it's bloody brilliant! With binoculars, it's not a circle in the sky, it's a perfect sphere! I'm going out again in half an hour.

Response to Eclipse set to be 'best in years' 2007-03-03 17:53:55


I could see a strong pink tinge to the lower part of the sphere. I wonder what it'll look like when I go back out. (sry for the double post)

Where's everyone else watching this from? I'm in Northampton, England.

Response to Eclipse set to be 'best in years' 2007-03-03 18:19:04


I was watching it and then a few chavs stuck their head over the fence asking what the fuck I'm looking at.

Don't I feel stupid.
