This’ll be the last total lunar eclipse till 2010Photo Credit: atomicshark
The skies were clear, the air was crisp and cold, my breath formed heavy clouds of condensation that floated skyward as I watched the best lunar eclipse to come around in a while.
I hope you all got a chance to check it out where you […]
It’s actually clear here in Champaign! I can see a blue sky and I think it might stay that way, so I’ll be going out tonight to see the eclipse.
Totality is going to last about 50 minutes and most people in the U.S. without clouds hanging over their heads will be able to see it.
I’m […]

To get you all in the spirit of this week’s total lunar eclipse, I’ve devised a little trivial test (mispelling intentional).
Good luck everyone and thanks for playing…

At the same time as American Idol

Our Moon is very large compared to the moons of other planets in our solar system. The Moon is fully one-fourth the size of Earth, giving one of the largest Moon/Earth ratios in the solar system.
Other planets, Mars for example, have very tiny moons. Phobos and Deimos are essentially a couple of small […]
This post will be of particular interest to all of the werewolves out there because, let’s face it, the Moon makes their lives somewhat inconvenient. It must be very hard to have to always clear your calendar on that one day in the month the Moon is full. Blue Moons are particularly irritating, […]
I took my vidya camera outside last night to see how the lunar eclipse would look on video tape. Here’s the raw video footage:
For some reason, the player sticks six seconds into the thing, just slide the slider over a bit and it’ll start back up, there must be something strange with the […]
There is an effort afoot to get the Apollo 11 lunar landing site classified as a historic site and preserved so we won’t lose it to condominium developers and 7-11’s.
I think this is a great idea, but it’s not something we’re going to have to worry about anytime soon, even with NASA’s desire to return […]
Venus has been really amazing to watch in the western sky lately. From Colorado, it has been a blazing pinpoint of light high above the mountains after sunset. Because of the position of Venus in its orbit relative to ours, this has been an extraordinarily good time to view Venus in a telescope […]
I just returned from my walk and noticed a beautiful full moon, oh and by the way, it’s the second time this month that the moon’s been full. The first full moon in May was on the second.
That makes it a blue moon. Check out AstroProf’s cool post about the subject, it’s full […]
Today’s astronomy porn comes from the Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite (LCROSS). In 2008, NASA plans to smash some hardware into the moon to try and find water. Finding water on the Moon would dramatically simplify setting up bases there since we wouldn’t have to carry it with us, a heavy proposition.
Here’s […]
