penumbral lunar eclipse aug 6th 2009

The eclipse will be completely visible over Africa and Europe and South America. It could be seen rising over eastern North America and setting over Asia.

The lunar year series repeats after 12 lunations or 354 days (Shifting back about 10 days in sequential years). Because of the date shift, the earth's shadow will be about 11 degrees west in sequential events.

It's difficult to spot but if you don't see it you can always check the prelude of the aug. 12 Perseids swinging by.

Happy viewing!!!!

Peace

What...no catastrophic predictions of earthquakes, tsunamis, the moon 'igniting' into another sun or flat out being sucked in by the earth's gravitational pull and killing us all?!?!?

Pfft....I demand a refund!

Thanks man, go kick me some sympathy flags then.
I was in the negative hundreds of ATS pts at one point, due to a warning received when I called QA a 'worthless piece of human trash' or something along those lines...
Then my very first thread (where 3 of my flags came from) got removed very quickly because it was an article on that 'no-no' plant which we're not allowed to converse about on ATS...
