Lunar eclipse next week. Most of North America & Asia, and all of the Pacific will be able to see it, though you might need to get up in the middle of the night. Maps & time conversion at the link.

It also happens to be a supermoon (when the full moon coincides with the moon being at the closest point in its orbit, making it look bigger) and a blue moon (second full moon in a calendar month).

Shooting the moon. It’s been going through cloud banks, fading in and out of view, usually only the brighter, uneclipsed part visible. We’re at an intersection at the top of a hill facing east, along with a lot of other people. Someone just pulled up to the stop sign and asked, “What time is the eclipse?” Response: “Now!”

Last Week’s Lunar Eclipse Seen … From Another Planet
This is awesome: last week's lunar eclipse seen from the side, from a space probe out near Mercury.

Lunar eclipse coming up next week! Unfortunately it starts at 2:15 AM Pacific Time, with totality from about 3:30-4:30. I don’t think I’m waking J up for this one. I’m not sure I’m waking *me* up for this one, either. Maybe I’ll set an alarm for 3:45, go outside for a few minutes, and go back to bed. And hope it’s not cloudy.

Four views of the moon over the course of tonight’s lunar eclipse, starting around 11pm and running until about midnight. I actually got some shots at the second stage without the phone line in the way, but I liked the way this looked.

Hey, I can show J a lunar eclipse in April! The last one visible from this area happened when he was way too young to appreciate it.
Several eclipses lines up to show Earth’s shadow.

Discovered I missed a lunar eclipse this morning/last night, but it's just as well I didn't wake up early. (And besides, I caught a great one just last fall) On the plus side, I found a nice list of upcoming solar eclipses searchable by viewing location. August 2017 will be a good partial eclipse from Southern California, and a total eclipse along a wide track across North America. And J will be old enough to appreciate it. Road trip!

Watched the moon go into total eclipse from home, then hightailed it down to the beach to catch the last visible part before moonset without obstructions. No luck. Got here just as the rest of the eclipse hunters were packing up, because the combination of dust, haze, and lightening sky made the moon virtually invisible.
