mundia Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 Just to remind you in case you haven't seen the calendar, there is a total lunar eclipse tomorrow (or tonight if you' reading this on Saturday!!). The weather forecast is hopeful for the evening and the eclipse begins at 9.30 and totality is from 10.45 to nearly midnight. Go on, take a look....

Guest Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 Our weather forecast is not brilliant! Why oh why is it always raining or cloudy when there is something fantastic to see in the sky? I will be watching weather permitting. Linda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorna Posted March 2, 2007 Share Posted March 2, 2007 I hope to have a look but will depend on how early my respite lad wakes up in the morning as to whether I will be fast asleep by then. Thanks for the info Mundia. L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 Oh I hope it's clear where I live tonight - my 13 year old son has arranged a sleep over for.....wait for it.....10 boys!!! I could shove them all outside to watch the lunar eclipse from a tent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Wolfie Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 Sam....when you say SLEEPover!! I remember the days of our lounge floor covered in teenage boys, none of whom had slept a wink (and neither had we!!) Still, make the most of it - our oldest is due to leave for uni in September and I'm DREADING the peace and quiet!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmileyPR Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 I hope we can also see it here on the other side of the channel . Do we have to take the same precautions as for a solar eclipse ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 Quite bright and sunny here too although it seems to have got duller in the last few minutes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mundia Posted March 3, 2007 Author Share Posted March 3, 2007 Yes Smiley visible from all over Europe, and no precautions are necessary (unless you live next door to be then you might want earplugs in case the howling disturbs you!!)

Guest Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 It was really clear here at about 7.30pm but now there are a few clouds in the sky. I'm hoping they are going to keep moving so that we get at least some sight of the eclipse-fingers crossed!! Linda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its looking pretty fab here, Im going back outside with my hot drink and my blankets, Im going to curl up on my swing, and listen to the frogs by the pond....

hali Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 sounds lovely mundia , i just keep hearing the fountain going on the pond... and with the cold as well ...keep needing the loo !!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JacquieL Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 I'm just having a hot drink too as it is rather nippy here as well. It looks very good. The sky is clear and the stars are bright. I'll see if OH's piccies are any good later. The cat thinks we have gone mad and is following us about but won't go outside. No frogs here just our very peaceful neighbours.
