Swear not by the moon

Author: kris, Category: Nature, News

Keep your eyes peeled for a lunar eclipse tonight. Perhaps you are thinking to yourself, pah, a total lunar eclipse, big deal. I can see those anytime. Not so, dear friend. This will be the last total lunar eclipse available to us until 2010.

Also, who are you to be so cavalier about the movements of the cosmos? Shape up, kid.

It is, of course, possible that the weather, currently semi-crap, will be total crap by tonight, ruining the view of the big event. Still, it’s worth ducking your head outside to take a gander if you happen to think of it around 7 pm.

The next solar eclipse, if you are wondering, will take place in August.
