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.] ================= What You Need to Know About the Lunar Eclipse October 13, 2022 By Molly Wasser, Ernie Wright and Tracy Vogel | ||

Yes, 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. | |||

Ok Guys - I am located in Central Mississippi and the skies were super clear. These were taken with my I-Phone 10 and I am not even considered to be one that is allowed to take pictures at family events but this was beautiful to the naked eye and through a 10x set of Tasco binoculars. The last couple of photos were taken about one hour after the first ones - just before sun up. Sorry my pictures did not turn out better….but I can tell you this - there are still some wonderful and beautiful things in this ever changing crazy world we live in today - and this was just one that God created for our enjoyment as a reminder…..      | |||

Completely forgot about it. Our lab VP always sends out notices for events like this. The Enemy's gate is down. | |||

This 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.  ------------------------------------------------ "It's hard to imagine a more stupid or dangerous way of making decisions, than by putting those decisions in the hands of people who pay no price for being wrong."

I 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 . ~Alan Acta Non Verba NRA Life Member (Patron) God, Family, Guns, Country Men will fight and die to protect women... because women protect everything else. ~Andrew Klavan "Once there was only dark.

I took this just before the clouds came in and ruined our viewing. [URL=  ]____________________________ NRA Life Member, Annual Member GOA, MGO Annual Member | |||
