Lunar Eclipse
Hey all you lucky people that get to be out doing something other than working. Make sure you look up in the sky tonight for the lunar eclipse.
It is suppose to be around 7:00 pm, out here in Nevada and California. I'll be checking it out from work... YUCK. Oh well, hopefully it wont be cloudy.
It's suppose to be a relatively rare event.
Enjoy!!!!

well looks like my night is shot, weather is supposed to suck here......which really blows because even with a small cheapo telescop you'd be able to see saturns rings tonight.
The planet Saturn and the bright star Regulus will form a broad triangle with the moon's ruddy disk.
well ive missed the last couple of eclipses and shuttle launches due to bad weather. what else is new

But hey, what do I know, I didn't even know that we already had two this year...
Just thought I would pass on for all to enjoy. At least for those who give a hoot, or can actually see it.
They say it might clear out tonight for just a little bit, in my neck of the woods. Got my fingures crossed.

Big time clearing here right now. Mostly blue sky. Hopefully it'll stay this way through the night.
Wish I had my camera here at work. I could have posted pics...
