The moon.

[greybeard]

A total lunar eclipse will occur overnight on March 13 into the early hours of March 14, creating a striking red "Blood Moon" for observers across North America.

The lunar eclipse will reach its maximum phase, whereby the moon is fully obscured by Earth's deepest darkest shadow, the umbra, at 2:59 a.m. EDT (6:59 GMT) on March 14.


Totality — the period when the moon is completely engulfed in Earth's shadow — will last for approximately 65 minutes. Key viewing times across different time zones include:

Eastern Time (ET): 2:26 a.m. — 3:31 a.m. (March 14)

Central Time (CT): 1:26 a.m. — 2:31 a.m. (March 14)

Mountain Time (MT): 12:26 a.m. — 1:31 a.m. (March 14)

Pacific Time (PT): 11:26 p.m. (March 13) — 12:31 a.m. (March 14)

I will probably sleep through it. Actually the weather guessers are saying cloudy and snowing that night so we wouldn't be able to see it anyway.

Way past my bedtime.

When I wake up to pee, I'll take a look. Timing might be right.

This reminds me of a cross country train trip my family went on when I was a kid. They had sleeper cars. My sister and I would wait until the train went through towns that had railroad crossings. Autos were stopped there. We would press our bare behinds against the window.

I woke up to pee about ten minutes ago, so I went outside to check on it, but it's too cloudy to see the moon.

Tried to get a good pic for all you sleepy heads but my talents lie in places other than the camera lens apparently.

Best I could do with my phone. Doesn't do it justice. Just happened to wake up at the right time.

I woke up for my middle of the night trip to the bathroom. I was too late. But it was obviously clear out because the full moon had the bedroom flooded with light.

Nope......

They will have good pics today on the TV and internet.

Partly cloudy here but I was able to see it, tho certainly not a nice crisp clear night. No photos.
