Subject: Re: FW: Total Lunar
Eclipse Tonight
About a week ago I got the idea of emailing you guys all
about the
upcoming
lunar eclipse last Sat. night. I looked up the times of ingress and
egress for the various stages etc etc .In so doing it did not take me long to
realize that the event was not visible in the western half of the country and
even on the east coast the moon would be in eclilpse as it rose.
And as it turned out it was cloudy over much of the east so no one saw
much of anything. The next lunar eclipse is set for August 28th and that
one is going to be visible much more favorably from N.
America.
