Slog - Comments on A Blood Red Moon http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/08/a_blood_red_moon If you're up in the pre-dawn hours tomorrow morning, look for the lunar eclipse about 45 degrees above the southern horizon. The Earth's shadow ("the umbra") will begin creeping across our view of the moon at 1:51 am. Between 2:52 and 4:22, our moon will be totally in shadow and glowing dull orange to blood red ("the totality"), and then the shadow will slink off again right at sunrise....

After I picked my children (8 & 10 yrs) up from the sitters; we stayed up to watch the eclipse. I had a blue moon. They had hot cocoa and choco chip cookies.
Wow the questions! We discussed planets, the meaning of life, and all the things the moon resembled (personal fav: bloody eye ball sans the socket.)
Just sent them to bed. Best night of the summer!

I can't remember my eclipse lectures from school. I did see the eclipse partially, but I missed the beginning. Darn!

I wish I had read this before I went to sleep... I kept waking up last night and it would've been nice to have seen that.

But I've seen it before and total lunar eclipses are much easier to see than any solar eclipse so it won't be too long before the next one (4 years I think).

But the sprinklers at Gasworks were ... interesting.
