So /sci/, you guys ready for the Lunar Eclipse?

I am extremely excited, anyone that see's it tonight gets to say they saw a lunar eclipse on winter solstice in their lifetime. The last one happened in 1638.

The eclipse will be visible on Monday night/Tuesday morning (20th/21st)
The times for the east coast are as follows:
Penumbral Eclipse Begins: 12:29 am EST
Partial Eclipse Begins: 1:33 am EST
Total Eclipse Begins: 2:41 am EST
Greatest Eclipse: 3:17 am EST
Total Eclipse Ends: 3:53 am EST
Partial Eclipse Ends: 5:01 am EST
Penumbral Eclipse Ends: 6:05 am EST
The first thing you are likely to see is some shading on the left side of the Moon after about 1 am.

You'll only get the chance to see the partial eclipse shortly after sundown Tuesday evening at Tamworth.

The total lunar eclipse will already have ended at 7:53 p.m. Australian Eastern Summer Time Tuesday evening, before the moon comes up in New South Wales. At Tamworth, sundown tomorrow comes at 7:59 p.m. AEST.

When the moon rises in the northeastern sky, you'll see it appear as a thin crescent, except that a crescent moon can never otherwise appear in that part of the sky around sunset. As you watch over the next hour, the crescent fattens into the characteristic shape of a lunar eclipse, then into a disc with a bite out of it as the moon continues to move out of the earth's shadow.

The partial eclipse ends in Tamworth at 9:01 p.m. AEST.

No one in Australia will see the totally eclipsed moon on Tuesday evening. Even in places where technically the moon rises totally eclipsed, such as parts of the Queensland coast, the dusk skies will be too bright to see the coppery red lunar disc. They, like you , will have to wait for totality to end so they can see the partial eclipse.

i posted this from another answer, basically you guys can't see the total eclipse, only partial.
Next year you get a total one though.

Ok, well since the winter solstice marks the shortest day of the year and the point at which the days start getting longer, it is the "between lives" time of the Earth, when the heavenly forces (the Sun, ofc) begin "impregnating" the Earth for its "rebirth" in Spring. Additionally, the occult has an event known as the Midnight Sun, in which supposedly one can attain a spiritual state such that one can see through solid matter and view the Sun on the other side of the Earth at midnight, and of course on the winter solstice this is even more significant since the sun spends the least amount of time in the visible sky.

The Moon is the primary feminine power of the heavens, and so for the Moon to be undergoing a psuedo-disappearance at the time when the Sun is at its weakest, we are pretty much left by the protective heavenly powers and shown a powerful reminder of the dark, chaotic, and uncaring side of the wilderness that is the Universe.

There is another interesting occult perspective on the lunar eclipse, which I will have to look up to make sure I'm relaying it properly.

Well the canonical time for spirits being "closer" is Samhain/Halloween, but yes, there is also tradition that during times of physical hardship (as winter is) the spiritual aspect of the world is more easily accessible.

Well at least i am not alone in thinking its cool.

It's not like i think its some amazing life changing thing. i just noticed that the last time this happened on winter solstice was 1638, and was like cool its been almost 400 years since the last time a lunar eclipse happened on winter solstice. Maybe i'll mention that.

NOPE.jpg, not gonna do anything like that again. I'll just mention an event happening and leave it at that.

So that way the anal sage trolls don't come out

The earth is bright, same reason you can't see the stars because of light pollution on earth.

No; the moon enters the earths shadow. It turns RED, see pic.

What you've seen when you see an "orange" moon is just the result of atmospheric distortion; the light reflecting off the moon is still normal colored sunlight in that event, and it's nothing special.

Overcast. Overcast everywhere. Except for maybe a few breaks in the clouds.

What stream are you looking at though? They're all different, man.
Saying "lower-left" tells me jack shit.

If you said "lower-left of the ccsc stream", that'd tell me something.

I don't suppose you know the name of any lunar features? That'd be ideal.
It'll begin darkening on the left side if the moon's north pole is up.
The side opposite of the mare tranquillitatis.

Here, have a gif.

You can get a decent beginner's alt az for ~130 from Orion. That's about the lowest you'll want to go.

I'd recommend either New Hope (even though it would be a fairly long drive it may be worth it) because it's far from philly and I think it would be neat to watch it on one of the bridges heading over to Jersey right on the Delaware river, or you could across the river to lambertville where there's a fairly high hill where you would get an unbelievable view from.

It was cloudy for the entire Geminids meteor shower last week in New Jersey. A decent trade off for perfect crystal clear skies on the night of the Winter Solstice/Lunar Eclipse!

Got my telescope, jackets, and cup of white tea set up on my deck just outside for me to peer out for a few minutes every so often. Loving the eerie shadow looming over it...really a beautiful sight!

I think it looks more like an egg held to a lamp but either way it's amazing. I feel like I'm on an alien world looking up a bizarre sky.

We now have a full eclipse but the real redness won't show for another half hour I don't think.
