Total lunar eclipse
As you may know, much of North America had the opportunity to view the last total lunar eclipse (anywhere) until March 3rd, 2007. I headed over to Darin’s and observed the eclipse with his telescope and high-power binoculars along with Beth, his wife. Very impressive! If you missed it, then you definitely have to mark the 2007 one on your calendar — it’s a Saturday.
If you want to see the calendar of lunar eclipses from now until 2010, NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Centre has one.
