Hi List, The total lunar eclipse is "in full swing" and I just caught a glimpse of the totally eclipsed Moon through an opening in the clouds. The central area of the Moon's disk is a bright orange and the rim is a yellow-orange hue. Looks like a relatively bright eclipse, i.e. the atmosphere is relatively free of volcanic dust, etc. I've seen eclipses when the Moon was so dark you could hardly recognize it.
Peter just wrote and this is astonishing: "a light shooting star crossed the red moon" Astonishing because I've seen that too (slightly west of the Moon's disk from where I live here in Germany) and thought it was my imagination ... moonstruck :-) Cheers, Bernd ______________________________________________ Meteorite-list mailing list [email protected] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
