HAPPY NEW WEEK!!!
News for This Week
Okay, folks, this is a big week. The Full Moon is Saturday, December 10. Here's the good part: There's a TOTAL LUNAR ECLIPSE, and we'll all get to see part or all of it! Woo hoo!!!
The full duration of the eclipse can be seen in Australia (yay, AQ), New Zealand, Alaska in the U.S., northern Canada, central and eastern Asia, and most of Russia.
The moon will rise already eclipsed in Europe, Africa, and eastern Russia. The moon will set eclipsed in the U.S., Mexico, and parts of Canada.
So all of you in the U.K. can see the eclipse as the moon rises. We in the U.S. can see the eclipse as the moon sets. Those in Australia can see the full length of the eclipse.
People on the west coast of the United States and Canada will see the beginning of totality just as the moon disappears below the western horizon (yay, Annette). But viewers on the U.S. east coast will not be able to see the start of totality before moonset.
For times, maps, and info, click HERE. There will not be another Total Lunar Eclipse until April of 2014.
Everybody have a great week!!!
Hi all, a lot of posts and news since I was last on. Too many to reply to all but one or two mentions.
Alan - watched the programme on Ch.4 and was quite taken with it, hope Phil Spencer and the like can get the beaurocrats off their backsides and do something about the homeless!!
The elephant safari was good fun but a might uncomfortable, had a bit of a sore behind for an hour or two. Yes the flower was and exotic one.
As its the end of the week will wind up and post properly tomorrow or Monday. Don't know what happened to my post before I put the pics on but hey never mind.
Thanks for all your news.
