Total lunar eclipse! This is the first time since 1638 that we've had a total lunar eclipse on the same day as the Winter Solstice. It begins at 12:41 MST and last 72 minutes. Look for the moon to turn a shade of red, which indicates the eclipse. If anyone has some decent telescope or photo equipment, I'd love to see some pics. I'll be watching at least some of this historic event. Wonder what effect it'll have on the daily lives of plants, animals and people alike?!?!?! See ya later . . . :alien11: :alienwink:
I read on another forum that this might be a good time to pop some beans. Any thoughts on this? I popped a few just in case.:anibong:
Im not sure what your getting at but what the hell, Ill give it a shot myself :thumbs-up: Unfortunately Ill probably be sound asleep as well.....im too lazy right this minute to convert MST to EST to see what the difference is.....who knows I might catch it asssit:
Something about lunar cycles affecting plants. My father in law has told me that it was a good idea to pop beans during a full moon, and now these folks are saying to start some today.. Here's a link to the thread. http://www.thcfarmer.com/forums/f145/solstice-lunar-eclipse-crack-seeds-28403/
Right. So it's going to start prior to 3 (here), peak 3ish, and end alittle after. I just set my alarm, although I'm usually up peeing about that time.
Sucks for you guys, think it starts like 9pm here, I posted a thread earlier and best around midnight. I wont miss it! Is this like when the moon gets HUGE looking and red like you said? I may have caught the start of one years ago, or it was mars, or just a reaaaaaaly big harvest moon.
Oh I know I was really stoned.....thats no question! I looked at it a bit, then I went inside and was OUT. It was cool tho, maybe I will see it tonight. I think last time it was just a huge harvest moon.
cannot wait to see it! Let me just second what my man said above...if anyone snaps some cool photos PLEASE share! Enjoy everyone.
Hey Guys its The shadow will steadily encroach over the full moon, until the entire earthward-facing side becomes covered at 2:41 a.m. EST. Then, at 3:53 a.m., the shadow will begin to recede. At 5:01 a.m. the eclipse will be over. http://www.aolnews.com/2010/12/20/total-lunar-eclipse-a-guide-to-the-upcoming-celestial-show/ enjoy
Thanks, but I'm saying 3ish if you want to see something. At 'the beginng' and 'the end', you wouldn't even notice it. You have to be awake around 3 (EST) if you want to actually see something cool.
