For those of you who are early risers, a lunar eclipse will begin at 4:51 EDT on Tuesday morning. According to the NASA graphic on the linked page, mid-eclipse will occur at 6:37 EDT. For those curious about eclipses, the NASA page links to Lunar Eclipses for Beginners, by Fred Espenak.
Anybody get a good view of this? I was on the road at 6:37, and the sky was a beautiful purple and pink, but so far as I could tell the eclipse was blocked out by clouds. To be honest though, I had completely forgotten there was supposed to be an eclipse, I just remember the sky being pretty when I was in the car.
Joe: I can do you one better. Not only did I not wake up in time to even look at a partial eclipse, I completely forgot about the eclipse until I saw your reply in my inbox!
I forgot the moon existed and when I saw it I thought it was
God apearing before me in the form of a glowing orb in the sky.
