if you’re anywhere in north / south america YOU could see one TONIGHT :0
who doesn’t want to see all of the earth’s sunrises and sunsets simultaneously projected onto the moon ???
pic from the november 2022 total lunar eclipse :D
The fact that the moon appears to perfectly cover the sun during an eclipse is an insane coincidence of time and space that doesn't happen on other planets. If you live within driving distance of the path of totality you can see it happen on April 8! It's the last American solar eclipse until 2044! Just be prepared for horrendous traffic.
I found out recently that every month’s full moon has a name. March’s is the Worm Moon! I love that! Top ten things humans have done. Last night was the lunar eclipse blood moon. This was the first one that reached totality since 2022. I went out to the local astronomical society meetup for the first time with my friend and it was so sick! Everybody was so nice and very willing to entertain my questions. They had some crazy gear. I will be back again especially after finding out that they’ll teach you how to use your telescope. I’ve had a Celestron that’s been gathering dust because I don’t know how to use it yet.
