    blood moon eclipse

    Anyone else here stay up late for this? That was worth it imo, one of the coolest natural events I've witnessed. Did you get a front row view of this one Dirk?

    Yep it was pretty cool. Was able to watch from inside the house and used some high power binoculars.

    No, I've seen so many lunar eclipses that it wasn't worth it to get up in the middle of the night. The eclipse I'm waiting on is the Aug 21, 2017 total solar eclipse:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_e...ugust_21,_2017

    It's been a long time since we had one visible from the US.

    "A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self- preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property, and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."

    Not a total solar eclipse. The last total eclipse in the continental US was Mar 7, 1970. A total solar eclipse is a very different experience from a partial or annular one. If you haven't seen one, make sure you get in the path of totality for this one.

    Since the longest duration is in KY, I say we slab it out there with bikes in tow to ride the Dragon and beyond for the event.
