Любопытно. Хотелось бы еще почитать чего-нибудь интересного на ту же тему.

“What is rare is a nicely timed for prime time lunar eclipse.”

Say what???! This would have to be the best (or worst) example I’ve seen in ages for why proper punctuation is so damn important! (And frankly, I would have expected much better from a self-proclaimed “writer”.) It took me about ten seconds to work out what on earth you were trying to get across here. How about:

“What is rare is a nicely timed-for-prime-time lunar eclipse.”

Much better!

This event was amazing here in Southern California. My friend woke up at 3:00am and watched it go from full eclipse red to a bright full moon over the Pacific Ocean in Venice just South of Santa Monica. He reports a beautiful event with reflections on the beach.

I got up, and took pictures out my window Don’t expect HST quality – i have a cheap point and shoot digital, and shot these hand held.

I wonder why I never even heard of the March 2007 total lunar eclipse, which I could have watched with the BEST view (in Africa) but I didn’t – because I didn’t know. Nowadays, ever since I got my feed-reader tuned to science-related things, I can pay attention to these rare events. Now this eclipse is over – I couldn’t watch it anyway since it would be late morning and the moon is below the horizon. [Sigh]

I did a LiveWebCast from Hungry Valley, CA (in the middle of the desert) using my mobile satellite-DSL equipped 4×4 van:

I never intended to do the webcast thing, it came upon me as I was sitting through the partial umbral phase: Why not deploy the satellite dish (5 min operation) & start blogging? I was also surprised at the dramatic effect of the “stars coming out” during totality. One needs to experience a lunar eclipse in the outback (away from city lights).

I got some interesting wide-angle shots with the eclipsed moon against stars & Milky Way, those images will be posted soon. Also shot some video.

Man o man, it was gorgeous! It was a coppery-red color at the limbs, and more of a deep rust color in the center when I stopped looking at 03:00 PDT. Check out my complete observation log.

This evening I’ve seen the best lunar eclipse that I can remember. The last one that I was impressed with was when I was a child probably about 1970. As I write this I go about into my yard here in Brisbane, Aust. and all I can see through the wispy cloud that comes and goes is a deep red disc hanging in the sky. It’s just not the normal moon that I know so well.

Soon I expect to see a crescent illuminate on the edge of this disc just like I saw disappear earlier and the moon will return into the most brilliant silver disc that the evening start with.

Just WOW!!!

Hey…what about Hawaii? Midnight eclipse here. Rare to see one at the mid-point of the sky – 60 degrees up.

I”m going to do my best to get some great images of this eclipse. The fully eclipsed moon will be close to setting, and I’ll be able to be set up with my cameras on a beach with the moon next to some lighthouses and piers. Should be a good show.

Heck, the next one is in February 2008. Not a very clear-skies friendly time in North America, especially the Midwest/Great Lakes USA.
