Super Blue Blood Moon - Who will be up for it?

What time can you be seeing on the East Coast?

Moon wobbles tend to correlate to large natural disasters more frequently than eclipses.

Eclipses being when Luna's nodal axis is conjunct a new moon conjunction or the sun-moon axis of a full moon, a moon wobble is when her nodal axis is square the sun-moon axis of a full moon, creating a grand cross (aka the Eye of Jesus to some Christian sects) of Sol, Luna, and the dragon's head and tail.

Not to say you should track dates for the next moon wobble or anything, it's just that, well, it's a moontard thread, after all, and so gets automatic seal of approval to expound upon any and all fruiting bodies springing up from the latticework of the mycelium whether it be a fungi among I or a fungus among us :)

and thus, we ride

Super Blue Blood Moon 2018: What, when and where
1/30/18

NASA will be providing a live feed of the eclipse beginning at 5:30 a.m. EST.

At 5:51 a.m. EST on Jan. 31, space observers in New York City will see the Moon enter Earth's penumbra (the lighter, outer part of its shadow), according to Space.com. The penumbra slightly darkens the Moon, though only a little. It will touch the umbra, the darker part of the shadow which gives the eclipse look at 6:48 a.m. local time. However, the moon sets just 16 minutes later.

In Chicago, observers will see the penumbra touch at 4:51 a.m. CST and the umbral eclipse starts at 5:48 a.m. CST. By 6:16 a.m., it will have the blood-red color and enter into totality. The Moon sets at 7:03 a.m. in Chicago.

For Denver residents, the eclipse starts 3:51 a.m. local time, with the umbra hitting the Moon's edge at 4:48 a.m. Maximum eclipse occurs at 6:29 a.m. and the lunar eclipse ends at 7:07 a.m. local time, with the moon setting 7 minutes later.

Californians may have the best experience of all. The penumbral eclipse starts at 2:51 a.m. PST and the partial eclipse starts at 3:48 a.m.; almost an hour later, at 4:51 a.m. PST, the total phase starts and lasts until 5:29 a.m. PST.

happy b day

it is my b day tomorrow to !!!!

Probably explains why the fatman lost it today.

It was quite epic.

Yes, it IS already very beautiful!

Does anyone with binoculars or telescope see 3 strange black dots? Along the edge and two are near the 12 o’clock position and one near 2 o’clock.

Thanks.

It is the first Blue Moon Blood Moon visible from the U.S. since 1866!

Just in time for me to watch the sunrise. A bit chilly - 25 degrees F.

I can't wait. Anyone else? Any camera tips, besides getting the camera temperature acclimated?

SInce I'm one of the ones that won't be able to see the moon, guess I will go to bed tonight then. :(

I'm up to watch. The moon rise was incredible tonight.

What an extraordinary Birthday present for ME !!

Tomorrow is my birthday.
