Default Solar Lunar Eclipse

A solar lunar eclipse is taking place...

http://www.exploratorium.edu/eclipse/2006/index.html

Pretty cool- check both links on the right. The lower one is the life coverage at the moment, the above one is going to start at 10.00UT.

Can't wait.. blackout

Enjoy

I read about this, but I also just read a Stephen King book called Gerald's Game, and in that book there's a scene at the time of an eclipse that's yucky, so I don't like eclipses anymore.

Really interesting...my mother owns a villa in Turkey and is going over soon... too bad the eclipse wasn't then

I wasn't alive for the last one where I live, but I'm lucky enough to have it go straight through my city...

I'm pumped for 2017.

Who needs a solar lunar eclipse when you live in Canada? We have enough clouds to block out any hope of sunshine for weeks...

I have never seen a solar lunar eclipse live, but I remember seeing one on tv once, pretty cool.

I have seen a couple of those, one or two i think, didnt see this one though the videos are sweet. Ya you always have to wear the glasses or your eyes are burned out.

I saw one a while ago, when i was liek 10 or 11 i think. The stores sold these weird glasses so u could look directly at it without hurting ur eyes (apparently it still can hurt ur eyes, no clue how tho).
