Thread Name: BS: Lunar Eclipse
Subject: RE: BS: Lunar Eclips - 08 NOv '03
Here in southeast Alaska, assuming it's clear enough, (it snowed last night) we'll see it right after sunset tomorrow, about 4:00. Since I experienced a total solar eclipse in the early '80s, no other eclipse has caused anything close to the awe I felt then. But it will be interesting to see the moon darken. It's supposed to be tinged red here.
(As anyone else noted the superstition-loaded symbols of the last year or so? Mars, the vividness of the aurora borealis, red moon... Others, I'm sure. Don't get me wrong- I see no connection with those kinds of things and potential world events- on the other hand, the older I get the more clearly I realize that I don' know nuffin.)
