Morning all! We went to bed around midnight, and crawled back out at 2:45. We watched the last moments as the shadow overtook the surface. The way it crept along, right on the edge of being fast enough to be perceptible. And without it's bright white glow, the moon seemed to shrink to half its size one fully immersed in its dull red glow (red, by the way, because once fully in the shadow, the only light that reaches it is the long wave-length red light that gets bent around Earth's atmosphere).
The second I can afford commercial space travel, I'm on a rocket to the moon. |
too foggy in my part of town, could not see a damn thing
|
why it didnt dawn on to post during this thing I have no idea.
that was neat |
That was freeking awesome.
Though I was 45 minutes late to work. And I am beyond exhausted. Didn't try to sleep and wake up. Just stayed up with a friend. |
I got up a few times and checked on the progress. I even dragged her crab assiness out at about 3ish to take look.
Very cool. |

Wonder where those were taken from. It's rotated about 90 degrees or more counter clockwise from the direction we saw the shadow traveling.
|
Yes, it seems like the bottom of the moon was the last to eclipse.
|
There is no dark side of the moon really. As a matter of fact, it's all dark.
