Have you remembered the total lunar eclipse tonight?

no i completely forgot about it thank you so much gailcalled for reminding me ill be sure to be watching it tomorrow

oh man thanks a ton for the reminder. romantic night with girlfriend = planned

ya, thanks for the reminder. Have a an observation deck built on my roof – its ognna be a fun night. I hope no one gets too drunk and falls off.

But it really isn’t tonight so much as tomorrow night? Or did I read that wrong?

yeah, that page says it’s not till wednesday

Les, that’s correct: it’s tomorrow night, not tonight.
For the people on the European side of the world: it’ll be more like 3, 4 o’clock of Thursday early morning even. Early rise!

Ya, I remembered it was tomorrow night, because I put it in my calendar with my other appointments.

cloudy weather forecast in the northeast. Out of luck.

Sorry, all, for the right date but wrong day. It is tomorrow….weather forecast does seem dire. Boo hoo. Snowing here now, of course.

There’s still time to schedule an aircraft ride up above the clouds. ;-)

The plane chase works better for total solar eclipses. How high can one go in a hot-air balloon or blimp and still breathe. How high is normal cloudcover?

Prof. of Astronomy at Wms. college, Jay Pasachoff, is a die-hard eclipse chaser

I think one starts to prefer equipment above 10,000 feet. Normal? Cloud cover varies, but local airports and weather agencies will of course know the current conditions.

Hats off to Pasachoff!

yes thanks plus our local news were all on it . Had a teacher get me started really opens up the “awe” or wow effect for me.
