Hi All,

Just a shoutout to let everyone know there is a full Lunar eclipse tonight. It's a full Moon tonight here in Melbourne so hopefully it should be a good show, and with current ash clouds courtesy of the volcanoes it should make for an even more interesting show - turning the Moon blood red!

Although i am reluctant to wake up that early just for the eclipse.... but nothing beats an eclipse!!





WATCH the moon turn blood red in the twilight hours before dawn tomorrow.
The eclipse begins at 3.25am (AEST) and enters its darkest phase or ‘totality’ at 5.22am (AEST) when the transformation to a blood-red moon should begin.

During an eclipse, light bent through our atmosphere would normally give the moon an orange glow, but the volcanic ash cloud should turn that blood red.

"This is worth getting up early for," said Perry Vlahos, from the Astronomical Society of Victoria.

"I'd bet on a pretty red, blood-red moon."

Read this from my spaceweather.com EM. Wish I was in your neck of the woods, I am from North America so I won't be able to see this event. Even if I could be able to witness it, we have had some serious rain and cloud issue's, so "You guy's enjoy it!!"


Get some pic's!! Share them with us here on ATS!!

Thanks for sharing!!

Will Sydney be able to see it?

If it's visible up here I'll stay up, cross my digits and hope for a break in the clouds.

It should be as long as there is no cloud cover.




Sydney Observatory's acting curator, Andrew Jacob, said ash from volcanic eruptions in Iceland and Chile could deepen the moon's hue during this total lunar eclipse. ''It is likely to be dark, rather than pale red or coppery,'' Dr Jacob said.

The eclipse begins at 3.25am and enters its darkest phase, or totality, at 5.22am. Lasting 100 minutes, it will be the longest lunar eclipse since 2000, because the moon will pass almost through the centre of the Earth's shadow.


The best time to view the lunar eclipse would be between 5.30am and 6.30am (before sunrise in Sydney at 6.58am).

Happy Birthday!
It's my b-day today as well. Although I do wish I could be in Australia to see this event. Don't usually see these things where I am at. Of course, at this time in the US, I wish I could be about ANYwhere else.

It's so cool.. I like the Dubai view best. The Sun here in Berkeley is beating down on us with a vengence !

Wonder why it glows red/orange and yellow?

There is still an hour before the full eclipse...but it would be neat to physically see this moon. A red moon has always interested me.
