Modern Day SavageElection Day Total Lunar Eclipse
This is a last minute post but hopefully some of you
night owls and
early risers will be able to observe the eclipse... and hopefully this eclipse portends some good election day results... for Republicans.
This will be the last total lunar eclipse for the next three years.
[Note: there is an animated video, hyperlinks for remote viewing, multiple diagrams and viewing timetables at the linked website article, so it's probably best to read the actual article.]

Modern Day SavageYes, absolutely, please post photos of it here.
I've been outside several times throughout the morning and, although we have some high thin cloud cover here, I can still clearly see the eclipse progressing. currently in the "blood" coloring.
Unfortunately my old "good" digital camera is inop at the moment and my phone camera just isn't getting a good focus on the moon, so my photos are far less impressive than what I can see with binoculars or even the naked eye.

P250UA5Completely forgot about it.
Our lab VP always sends out notices for events like this.

IronbuttThis was the last total lunar eclipse for three years and the last to fall on Election Day until 2394! I got up to go to the bathroom at 0430 & the moon was half in shadow from the eclipse. I went back to bed.

Balzé HalzéI posted this in another thread:

On November 8th, 2022 at 3:02 a.m. EST (or 12:02 a.m. PST when all of the lower 48 of the US is officially tomorrow, election day), the Blood Moon total lunar eclipse is visible.
The ancient Incans and Mesopotamians believed the
blood moon was an omen portending overthrow of the king.
Also, Donald Trump was born on June 14th, 1946...during a
blood moon total lunar eclipse .

ggileOvercast here, which is the rule rather than the exception when it comes to being able to view solar phenomenon.
