Mt Whitney Zone Forums The Chat Room Solstice Lunar festivities....

For those of you who have clear skies and are lucky enough to be in a place where headlights aren't going to constantly ruin the view... the show should be spectacular... the full moon is going to be eclipsed to totality, visible in North America!

If I didn't have to work on Tuesday I would consider a mountain drive for this... I might do it anyways!

Check the weather - the current storm, at least here in the eastern Sierra - looks like it might impact on seeing the eclipse.

Blah! clouded over when another eclipse of it's kind will not occur until the 25th century.

Even though we live in storm-tossed California, we can get a live view from Huntsville, via NASA. They have some clouds, but expect them to clear up.

If the technology expands at the same rate since NASA's creation a half century ago, I wonder what they will be able to show us at the next total lunar eclipse at the winter solstice. I'll be able to watch it if I live just 12 standard deviations past the average life-span.

Here is a list of other sites where the weather might be clear...

It was clouded over in Fresno, so no eclipse for me.

A coworker in the SF area posted some pictures.

Here's a nice one:
