Total Lunar Eclipse this Saturday 4 Apr

Post by Airconvent »

Hi
Do remember to check out the total Lunar Eclipse which will result in a "blood moon" this saturday.
The angle of the eclipse results in refracted light from earth being propagated to the moon during full eclipse, causing a reddish colour..in other words, the moon will not "disappear" into the darkness during totality. :)
Eclipse duration 5-10pm with totality at 8pm. :)

All I see are clouds so far. Hopefully it clears up sufficiently for the moon to shine through.
Good luck to all the obs sessions around Singapore tonight! :)
