Super moon on Sunday

[crazyquilter]

A RARE TOTAL lunar eclipse with a supermoon will take place in the early hours of tomorrow morning.

While the last total eclipse was in December 2010, the combination with the supermoon has not been seen since 1982.

The moon will turn a blood red colour and will appear bigger and brighter than usual.

Is any of our Stampbears staying up to watch this?

Is there a certain time that's best for viewing this?

Yeah, at night........

In the eastern USA time zone, 10pm should be best. Alas the skies are now covered in clouds. The weather report is "partly cloudy" so I can only hope that the clouds will part. My telescope is ready in the event that happens. If it doesn't, you will find me on Bidstart chasing after French West Africa or some other place without clouds.

Here are the two most interesting moments: The moon enters Earth's full shadow, called the umbra, starting at 9:07 p.m. EDT (6:07 p.m. PDT). The total eclipse begins at 10:11 p.m. EDT (7:11 p.m. PDT). Totality lasts an hour and 12 minutes, at which point a bright sliver of the moon will emerge and grow.

It is cloudy here in Michigan

Just came in from seeing the lunar eclipse. It was not as red as I expected but I enjoyed watching it.

Overcast in the GTA so I only caught a few glimpses.
