Thread Name: BS: lunar eclipse 27-28 Sep 2015
Subject: RE: BS: lunar eclipse this weekend
Five people set up chairs on my front porch last night, and we watched and chatted for an hour and a half. We got an excellent view of the moon, with naked eye, with binoculars and through a telescope.
We discussed shooting out a nearby streetlight, but realized it was much less trouble to hold your hand up in front of it and block its light.
The moon never looked red but stayed a tasteful gray. So much for 'the blood moon'! =========== I think that worrying about global warming and earthquakes makes as much sense as worrying that two 18-wheelers had their windshield wipers going before they collided.
