Partial lunar eclipse sept. 7th

Postby astroboy » Tue Aug 29, 2006 7:19 am

Hi all

On Thursday the 7th of September we 're gonna have a partial lunar eclipse. The (full) moon will beging entering the earth's shadow as soon as its up, and its gonna get darker and darker, until its about half covered and then vice versa. The whole thing will last up to midnight.

Sounds interesting huh? :wink:
