It's not often that you get two full moons in one month. Well, this month we'll not only get that, but also a lunar eclipse. During an eclipse, there are actually two shadows: the penumbra and the umbra. The penumbra is the outer, dimmer shadow, while the

    The eclipse starts at 4:51am PT Wednesday morning for those of us on the West coast. The only places able to see it are west of Regina, so those living east of Saskatchewan will be SOL for tonight's show. So, here's hoping for something close to clear skies over BC.

    Don�t count on it. Whenever there�s any kind of remotely interesting celestial thing happening, it�s raining.

    I've been watching it for a couple hours. Very bright! Then the shadow started. :)

    Too bad my cell phone takes lousy pictures of it. :(

    It's more than that Shep. The moon went from bright silver, to a beautiful sunset red in an hour.

    It's -34 here with the windchill, but there won't be another of these in our lifetimes. If the sky is clear, go see it now!

    Overcast here, so I wouldn't be able to see it anyways.

    The moon was in the west.
    The sun was in the east.
    Both were above the curvizon.
    The "shadow" appeared from the 10oClock position.

    The Question: The "shadow" of what??

    He's either clueless, or the best straight man I've ever seen.

    I have to believe he's a troll. Just for my own well being.
