    Lunar Eclipse ~ Saturday March 3rd

    http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20070301...uYOpcAq7KHgsgF

    Star gazers in Europe, the Middle East and Africa will have a front-and-center view of the eclipse in a late-night sky, with the zenith occurring at 23:21 GMT.

    On the east coast of North America, the Moon will already be eclipsed when it rises at around sunset, while in Asia early risers will get a glimpse of the lunar blackout as the Moon sets.
    We're forecasted to have snow here, so we might not get to see it. Hoping for clear skies though Saturday evening.

    Thanks for posting this - I'll be sure to look up, just in case. If we can't see it, it looks like we get a second chance in August.

    "On the east coast of North America, the Moon will already be eclipsed when it rises at around sunset, while in Asia early risers will get a glimpse of the lunar blackout as the Moon sets.
    Total lunar eclipses normally occur roughly every couple of years, but those who miss the one this weekend will get another chance to see the moon disappear on August 28. The last took place on October 28, 2004."

    Europe is supposed to get a great view. Anyone going to try to see it?
    I don"t know if I want to get up early to see it myself.

    North Americans are to find a clear space, facing East, and station yourself there at sunset where you will see the lunar eclipse.

    Here is a map of how it will look to the world:

    No need to "get up early" ...
    For the Eastern USA, it STARTS before MoonRise (at 4:30 PM),
    peaks at 6:21 PM ...
    and is all over at 8:11 PM ... all times are in Eastern Standart Time.

    Look LOW in the eastern sky ... starting around sunset.

    Rats! (no offense to rats). Yesterday I watched the moon rising in a clear sky...and now I just came in from outside and it's "wall to wall" gray clouds. Guess I won't get to see the eclipse.

    Rats too. It's been low hanging gray clouds all day, so I'll just
    watch it on CNN.

    West Coast Reporting In!

    A clear night. We climbed the hill in the middle of our development.... watched the sun set over Catalina Island....all blues and pinks and then the moon rise directly opposite .....I don't believe I have ever especially watched the moon rise before!... It was wonderful!....this globe coming up behind some mountain range....just after it crested the range ...it began to disappear.... then reappeared...

    We headed back down...wanting to leave before the coyotes came out....and the sky over Catalina was now a deep red.

    Thanks for reminding me to go and see it!
