Total lunar eclipse is just one week away: When and where to see the Blood Moon
« on: March 08, 2025, 11:56:38 am »
The wait is nearly over! In just one week, skywatchers across North America will witness a spectacular total lunar eclipse, also known as a Blood Moon.

This will be the first total lunar eclipse since November 2022 and the first of three set to occur between 2025 and 2026.

During a total lunar eclipse, Earth moves directly between the sun and the moon, blocking sunlight and casting a shadow over the lunar surface. As this happens, the moon takes on a reddish hue, earning it the name "Blood Moon." This effect occurs because Earth's atmosphere scatters shorter wavelengths of sunlight while allowing longer wavelengths — red and orange light — to bend into Earth's shadow and illuminate the moon. It's the same phenomenon that gives sunrises and sunsets their rich colors.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

There was a total lunar eclipse back when Hale-Bopp was in its full glory. Living in deep rural Idaho with almost no light pollution it was an epic sight to behold.

Mr. M said he got up in the middle of night a little after 3 am, and saw it.
