  1. Some dates for your diary by tod_miller · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Some dates up until 2012 Is it me or are lunar eclipses no very exciting?

    Perhaps because I never witnessed one deliberately. The last solar eclipse I wanted to see actually woke me up, the sun dimmed on my bed, I slumbered over to window, saw a freaky sight, then toddled off to bed. I think it was about 11:30am where I was.

    I mean, during any visible solar event you can feel the size and presence of the solar bodies (phwoar!) and it makes you feel tiny [I have some spam to cure that] in the whole run of things...

  2. Some personal nifty lunar eclipse pictures .... by xmas2003 · · Score: 2, Interesting
    Here's some lunar eclpse pictures that I shot of the last one on November 8th, 2003. I was just shooting random pictures of the moon, and didn't realize until I looked at 'em afterwards that I had caught a kinda neat sequence showing the movement of the moon through the branches.

    Weather forecast is looking good for tomorrow night in Boulder, Colorado ... so I'll be shooting a few pictures and be curious what I end up with.
