PhishPhood Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 There will be an eclipse tomorrow night (wednesday). Who is gonna be goin out to have a smoke and watch this happen? I know I will, no matter how cold it is out.QUOTE A Lunar Eclipse takes place at a Full Moon when the Moon moves into the shadow of the Earth cast by the Sun. This takes place at the same instant for all observers, but the LOCAL time on the clock depends on your time zone!In North America (Canada & the US), the Total Eclipse takes place during:Newfoundland ~ 11:30 p.m. - 12:21 a.m.Atlantic ~ 11:00 - 11:51 p.m.Eastern ~ 10:00 - 10:51 p.m.Central ~ 9:00 - 9:51 p.m.Mountain ~ 8:00 - 8:51 p.m.Pacific ~ 7:00 - 7:51 p.m.MEXICO, Central America and the Caribbean include all time zones listed above, so if you're not sure which time zone you're in, just keep your eyes on the skies from 7pm until midnight!South American time zones range from UTC (GMT) -5 to -3, so the time will be from 10pm until 1am.In Europe and Africa ~ 3:00 a.m. - 3:51 a.m. UTC (GMT) in the early morning of February 21Look 1 hour 20 minutes before and after to see the partial phases. In Western regions, the Moon may rise partially eclipsed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhishPhood Posted February 22, 2008 Author Share Posted February 22, 2008 This was the most unbelievable thing I've ever seen.. At one point there was a cloud infront of it which caused a giant circular rainbow to be around it from the light coming offa the moon... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
