Lunar Eclipse Thurs night/Fri morn

Unread post by mark.m »

Hi, all:
Remember that there's a partial (almost full) lunar eclipse on Thursday night (Friday morning). The eclipse starts around 1am EST and will be at maximum around 4am (with the moon in the western sky).

Right now the weather forecast is pretty lousy for us for this event, so before you bother setting your alarm clock, re-check the weather forecast on Thursday.
