Lunar Eclipse, 3 March 2007
Passing along information received from a NASA mailing list, there is to be a lunar eclipse starting this coming Saturday evening. Some of will be visible everywhere in the 48 contiguous states, the eclipse being already underway at moon-rise in this region.
NASA provides a very nice map with times and coverage, with a full text description on another page. While I'm talking about it, you might also like to know about the NASA Eclipse Home Page, operated by Fred Espenak ("Mr. Eclipse") at the nearby Goddard Space Flight Center.

I welcome comments -- even dissent -- but I will delete without notice irrelevant, rude, psychotic, or incomprehensible comments, particularly those that I deem homophobic, unless they are amusing.

Alas, the extreme likelihood of yet more clouds, precipitation, fog — anything, just so it's more lousy weather — put the chances of me seeing this event on par with the chances of Britney Spears sticking out a course of rehab until her hair grows back in. (Which would be a good career move in more ways than one.)

I caught a pale moon rising.
Though outside, I was terribly preoccupied, and wasn't able to enjoy the eclipse. There must be a saying, somewhere, about the worries of life crowding in, until one is emotionally supine.
