Red Moon - Rare Astronomical Event

Start:     Aug 28, '07 10:00p
Anyone with a good pair of binoculars should be able to see a very rare red moon tonight. If you don't have a pair of binoculars, just use your Mark 1 eyeball to see. This is a fairly rare occurrence and shouldn't be missed. The eclipse of the moon is schedule to occur at about 7pm which will be too bright for people in our region to see, but we may still be able to see the red moon linger for awhile after that.

Hopefully the clouds will not be too thick and obscure the moon tonight.

Clear Skies!

    oo fancy that. "The total lunar eclipse, the second this year, will be visible in North and South America, especially in the West."

    it was really clear to see that beautiful red moon at West Coast area but as for me, the East Coast, we only have an hour to do so before sunrise, but it was really awesome.. huge and red.. unfortunately no pictures were taken.. to busy with our thought.
