Road Runner Posted November 18, 2021 Share #1 Posted November 18, 2021 From the Holcomb Observatory: LONGEST PARTIAL LUNAR ECLIPSE in 580 years occurs on the morning of November 19th. 1st parts of the eclipse begin at 1:02AM EST. Max eclipse occurs at 4:02 AM when 97% of the MOON is in the darkest part of the Earth's shadow. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Road Runner Posted November 18, 2021 Author Share #3 Posted November 18, 2021 It is supposed to be raining here on the east coast. Probably no Beaver Moon Eclipse for us. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dottleshead ★ Posted November 18, 2021 Share #4 Posted November 18, 2021 I’ve seen enough beaver moons than any man has a right to and have had my fill, good sir, so I’m going to pass. Thanks for the suggestion though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the suggestion though. It's not so much about the Beaver as it is the almost total eclipse. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airehead Posted November 18, 2021 Share #6 Posted November 18, 2021 Partly cloudy but best view is about 4 am and I am up by then. I will check. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kzoo Posted November 19, 2021 Share #8 Posted November 19, 2021 I’ll be checking it out when I take Rudy out at 5am. I’m thinking it will be too cloudy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longjohn ★ Posted November 19, 2021 Share #9 Posted November 19, 2021 I didn’t know about the big beaver moon until just now but I was outside looking at the moons a little while ago and wishing I could take a picture of what I saw.i saw three moons, there were also two really bright planets or stars that looked really cool. It’s amazing what cataracts do to vision at night 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheep_herder ★ Posted November 19, 2021 Share #17 Posted November 19, 2021 About half is covered at 1:00am MST. My wife waked me up. Pups were moved into a larger crate tonight. They are sleeping soundly. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longjohn ★ Posted November 19, 2021 Share #19 Posted November 19, 2021 It’s going to start snowing in twenty minutes. That will put an end to all this excitement. We will just have to wait another 500 years and try again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralphie ★ Posted November 19, 2021 Share #24 Posted November 19, 2021 Satisfied customer here. That was a nice celestial event. Slow, good timing for me, and very clear, no special equipment and procedure like a box with a slit required. Oh yeah, free too! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snow clouds moved in and blocked my view. I should have taken a picture when I first started watching it. There will probably be lots on pictures on the web today.
