Re: Lunar Eclipse Party

I saw the eclipse high in the sky when I woke up for a bit .... called my youngest two to see it cos they were still up.

Beautiful.

Re: Lunar Eclipse Party

Great pics @Former-Member

I gave up and went to bed freezing when I saw the first pic you posted - with the crescent reapprearing

But after all the screen - TV - computer and binnoculars on the moon - I am sure I could see 6 crescents but that's my eyes - I have an astigmatism that does that when my eyes are tired

It was a great evening and I enjoy posting the changes as I saw them - I felt better than I had all day - it was a very interesting day so great that it ended with a huge Lunar Event

Re: Lunar Eclipse Party

Oh lovely @Owlunar ! The cresent was so impressive I enjoyed that part a lot especially if you saw 6 that is even cooler

I found the moon to look very fuzzy haha but that was maybe because of all the street and city lights making it hard for my eyes to focus!

It was a lovely party, so glad we did it, seemed like everyone had a wonderful time and we all have a love of the moon which makes me very happy 🙂

Re: Lunar Eclipse Party

Yeah @Former-Member ..... it was behind our building on the early rise, and not visible from the street cos we’re in a cond need living area here ..... then we had a mini-tsunami hit ..... unexpected hard-to-fix hitch with a.uni application ..... had to work out whether it was recoverable and make a plan ...... then when we were recovered enough, remembered the moon .......

And there it was, high in the sky, still in eclipse in a beautiful peach colour ..... so there you go. Eclipse super cherry-coloured moon...... enter stage right ..... blow the mini-tsunami away ..... 🎉

Re: Lunar Eclipse Party

Hi @Former-Member

It was certainly great seeing that last crescent and in 6 - wow - how priviledged am I?

Thanks astigmatism

I am in Melbourne and it was rather misty last night and of course being in a big city means light pollution.

I could bring up a lot of political issues but choose not to - but hey - they talk about the carbon footprint and then really use up green house gases with so much illumination. I grew up here after WW2 and the street lights shed a tiny patch of light before we had to walk out in the darkness toward the next little light

Anyway - great party Lunar and @Zoe7

And @Faith-and-Hope

I am so glad you woke your youngest kids and took them out to see the last of the eclipse - that was a wonderful thing to do - twice when I was young my mother told me about lunar and solar-system events but hadn't woken me up to see - I still feel sorry about that but I have seen them since

That was a great thing - and I am sure your kids loved it too
