Don’t miss the lunar eclipse on Wednesday night

19 February, 2008 (22:47) | Family, Friends, Photography, Science! | By: Arlen

For those with clear skies tomorrow night, there will be a total lunar eclipse at 8:01 MST. It should last about 50 minutes or so, and will be visible in North and South America, Europe and Africa. The moon won’t disappear, but will turn red in color due to the light coming off the Earth’s atmosphere. Check it out if you can, next one is December 2010!

This was awesome! Our Cub Scouts were able to get a great view despite the heavy cloud cover. Michael was disappointed that he couldn’t get a photo on his 5 year old digital camera. Maybe he will have a better camera in 2010.

Yeah, I was a bit disappointed in the pictures from my camera too. An 85mm lens just doesn’t seem to cut it. The best pictures of that night were of the kids tromping around with the binoculars around thier neck.
