Lunar Eclipse: A Red Moon and the Draconid Meteor Shower.
 

The moon, also known as the blood moon, is gonna turn red during the lunar eclipse this Wednesday morning.

Then a meteor shower is also happening during the eclipse.

The lunar eclipse starts at 3:15am this Wednesday, lasting for about an hour.

Unlike a solar eclipse, you can see it without needing to protect your eyes.

Who's gonna wake up to watch this eclipse? :suspicious:

I'm going to stay up to watch it :D I don't remember seeing one of these since grade 7

Skies aren't clear here in North Burnaby as of 1030pm. Hopefully it clears up for the rest of you.

3:15am to look at this shit? :heckno:

maybe before working a regular full-time schedule.

Who will watch it? the students and the unemployed.

C'mon, Wednesday is like Friday's eve eve. I think I may check it out!

Exactly why I'm watching it :D

there's a really nice halo around the moon tonight

yea i noticed that too, it looked really nice.

Anyways, i was planning to watch this blood moon eclipse since it was too cloudy last time however, unfortunately it seems like the clouds are moving in again..

or maybe people such as myself who work afternoons? :)

its about to start!

It's too cloudy ..=(

waiting till 3:55 for the peak.

Too foggy in Richmond can't see anything.

Set my alarm and everything... no dice.

Too cloudy/foggy where I am. Can't see shit :(

Will this be visible in asia?

Went to Burnaby Mountain at about 2:30, saw the moon with a halo around it. It was pretty neat, super bright and all. But then clouds started coming over at about 3:30, so we decided to book it over to Cypress for a better view. Still cloudy though, but I did see the red moon for a brief moment. Wasn't really red, it had more of a reddish-orange tinge. Tried to take pics, but my weak 200mm lens didn't do shit. :okay: Eventually the clouds completely covered it at about 4, so we gave up and went home. Sleep time now.

Saw it pretty clearly over here in Japan

Guess it was last night for us.. Nothing right now, although it is a SUPER bright full moon... Too bad, it's so clear outside, it would have been perfect :okay:

:worthless:
