Total Lunar eclipse Tuesday!!!
 

Wow! This week is chocked full of astronomical happenings. Especially for the West coast!! :D

At around 2am a total Lunar Eclipse will start that'll last till 4am! :o Best viewing spots are here in the good ole Pacific Northwest (Washington, Oregon, Northern California, Idaho, B.C) as well as Alaska, Hawaii, New Zealand and eastern Australia.

And don't forget about the rare meteor shower late Friday/early Saturday! :D

GDI, first the Meteor shower and now this. Grrr, it's just not fair :)

I just went outside and saw the moon, it is freaking bright. I've never seen such a bright moon. (Brightmoon? Accidental She-Ra reference for the win.) If you live in Nor Cal, try looking at it. It's so cool.

That was cool - my friends and I took blankets outside to watch it (of course a stupid cloud had to blow over as the last lighted snippet of moon disappeared). But it went all red, and that was pretty awesome.
