silvershark44 Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 Bit worried personally. I've read too many sci-fi stories where huge numbers of people watch an eclipse, meteor shower etc and the next morning you wake up and they've either vanished, gone blind, or turned into zombies. I might stay indoors and keep and eye on the forum! Just watch out for the triffids and youll be fine!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 starting to see something now the shadow of the earth on the moon? I thought it was a bit of dirt on the landing window, so just sent the missus out with a ladder and a cloth to wipe it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewen Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 The moon looked amazing earlier, was that the eclipse like? No, the eclipse will be when we are exactly between the moon and sun. It will be dark, a reddish colour if we are lucky, or greyish if conditions arent ideal, about a quarter to 11 ish. Edit...sorry Charlotte, miles to slow me is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
