TOTAL LUNAR ECLIPSE: Set aside some time this weekend
for sky watching. On Saturday night, March 3rd, there's
going to be a total eclipse of the Moon. This means the Moon
will glide through the heart of Earth's shadow and turn a
beautiful shade of sunset red. Totality can be seen from
parts of all seven continents including all of Europe and Africa
and the eastern half of North America.

moon is light that has passed thru our atmosphere

I dunno at $20.00US a gram I think the rocket is cheaper.
Sides Rotman to a REAL "Rocket Scientist" pot is like a cup
o tea. To go to the moon that way you gotta "pump" in the
real "Rocket Fuel"....Nowadays I think kerosine and liquid
oxygen are probably safer....Now I've got to ignore this
interuption.....I've calculations to perform in the name of
SCIENCE :idea:

Yes Shloemoe Greenwich Mean Time = Dublin Edinburgh Lisbon and London and all places in between like Drumnadrochit, Betws y Coed, Where and Bastard's town.

Well the moon was like a blood orange, very clear no rain until dawn this morning. Spent it in the trailer watching "The Mothman prophecies" and peeking outside every now and again. Today is just a miserable wet day with squalls. Post full moon that would be the par for the course

Cheerio.
