Just looking east and the moon is going

Re: Eclipse of the moon
There's a thread about this somewhere, I think. It's supposed to turn red at some point. Something to do with Venus covering the Sun?
There are fireworks going off around here to ward off bad luck, so I'm told by a very excited Mrs D-M.
I mentioned this was due, but I don't think she quite believed me!
EDIT: Of course it might be nothing to do with Venus and it might just go dark, rather than red...

Re: Eclipse of the moon
Skywatchers have begun enjoying the last total lunar eclipse until 2014.
The spectacle, which occurs when the earth casts its shadow over the moon, will be visible from Australia, Asia and North America.
But indirect sunlight can still illuminate the Moon, turning it a dramatic shade of red.

Re: Eclipse of the moon
Beautiful! A blood moon... I don't recall ever seeing that before. We in Thailand were in the perfect place to view it at a convenient time in the evening. I tried my best to get photos with my ancient cameras but none are any good. I'm sure some of the folks with high tech equipment will post some tomorrow.

My brain is like an Internet browser; 12 tabs are open and 5 of them are not responding, there's a GIF playing in an endless loop,... and where is that annoying music coming from?

Re: Eclipse of the moon
I was at work at the airport here this evening on a clear and cold night when the moon rose and sure enough, there was still a bit missing for half an hour or so which surprised me because I thought this eclipse was only going to be visible in the East.
