Eclipse

[owl]

There is a total lunar eclipse tonight and, happily, the sky is clear. No sign of a shadow yet, it's meant to reach totality at 2045. Apparently it won't be a dark red because there haven't been any volcanic eruptions recently, so not much dust in the upper atmosphere.

It's beautifully clear here too - nearly all there!

Very suitable icon! Is it true they're making a travesty film?

[coughingbear]

I thought so too. And yes, a film is being made, but if you read this, you'll see it appears to bear rather little relationship to the books.

[owl]

Yes, I heard rumours, hence the travesty. Uuurgh.

I was very surprised to see a partial eclipse on my way home. I think partials are so cool, because you can still sort of see the darkened part of the moon.

Totals are cool too, with the moon going orange at totality!

I slept throught it-- curse this mild but obnoxious viral infection!

Aw, feel better soon!
