Object: OT: I see a red moon arising... I see trouble on the way....
It says here:

Total eclipse to paint moon red
The moon is to turn blood-red during a total lunar eclipse in UK
skies, the Royal Astronomical Society has said.
The total eclipse will already be under way as the moon rises on
Tuesday evening but will only become visible as the sun sets and the
sky darkens.
A dim reddish-brown moon should climb slowly above the south-east
horizon.
Society member Dr Jacqueline Mitton said: "Lunar eclipses are a
fascinating and beautiful phenomenon, and no two are quite alike."
Cone-shaped shadow
The total eclipse will begin at 2052 BST and end at 2208 BST.
Dr Mitton said: "If the weather is kind to us, this could be a very
interesting sight, with the eclipsed moon becoming more and more
obvious as the sky gradually darkens after sunset and the moon gets
higher in the sky."
Lunar eclipses, which can only occur at full moon, happen when the
sun, Earth and moon are in a near-perfect line in space.
The moon travels through the long cone-shaped shadow the Earth casts
in space and takes on a dark coppery or orange tone.
In November last year a total lunar eclipse was visible from Europe,
Africa, the Americas and much of Asia.
The BBC weather forecast for Tuesday night is for rain over Scotland
and Northern Ireland, extending to much of Wales and parts of
south-west and north England.
Showers elsewhere will fall back to coastal districts of the east and
south. It will become mainly dry in many central parts of England and
Scotland.

That's going to be beautiful! Enjoy it. Last autumn, the moon was eclipsed
and I watched most of the event from my front yard in Michigan (with a
torpedo heater blasting away the entire time). A red moon would have made
it all the more enjoyable.

Indeed. But given:
(a) this happens like clockwork every period of years, and the
apocalypse didn't happen then, so why should it now?
(b). I understand Agnes Nutter has prophesied very precise conditions
necessary to the apocalypse. I know most small, recondite, bookshops
in London, and so, far, since the death of the lady who used to run
Atlantis in Museum Street, I see no contenders!

So, were the uk weather forecasters right, and there was some breaks
in the clouds so people could see the red moon, or was it completely
overcast last night?

Frankly I dunno.
I was watching it on one of the cable channels here on my 42"
panasonic flat screen. With quick switches to Angel (the TV Vampire).
While reading the new Pratchett and drinking a serious amount of hard
liquor.
When I remember the whole story, I'll let you know.
Seriously though. There was a bit of cloud coverage over Stevenage,
but I saw the start, which was quite impressive.

Yes, that's what I'm referring to. I was hoping "little" would be a
good cue word to use, but only because I couldn't remember her proper
nationality to add to it. :-# Anywho, no idea what happened to her,
but whatever she's doing I hope she's enjoying it.
Umm... errrrr... I don't _mean_ anything sexual by that, but
thinking about it, well, I guess it applies to that as well, if it
happens to be what she's up to (no pun intended). :-)

I saw her recently on one of the kid's reading programs, I think it was
"Between the Lions." I was flipping channels and noticed her on it. Dr. Ruth
Readheimer, or something like that, was the name of her character, which was
pretty much the same as her real character. But there she was, small as life,
having the time of her life. I got a good chuckle out of seeing her.

Total eclipse to paint moon red

I hate to say it, but isn't that one of the signs of the apocolypse?

First there needs to be a perfect red heifer.

Total eclipse to paint moon red

The moon is to turn blood-red during a total lunar eclipse in UK
skies, the Royal Astronomical Society has said.

The total eclipse will already be under way as the moon rises on
Tuesday evening but will only become visible as the sun sets and the
sky darkens.

A dim reddish-brown moon should climb slowly above the south-east
horizon.

Society member Dr Jacqueline Mitton said: "Lunar eclipses are a
fascinating and beautiful phenomenon, and no two are quite alike."


Cone-shaped shadow

The total eclipse will begin at 2052 BST and end at 2208 BST.

Dr Mitton said: "If the weather is kind to us, this could be a very
interesting sight, with the eclipsed moon becoming more and more
obvious as the sky gradually darkens after sunset and the moon gets
higher in the sky."

Lunar eclipses, which can only occur at full moon, happen when the
sun, Earth and moon are in a near-perfect line in space.

The moon travels through the long cone-shaped shadow the Earth casts
in space and takes on a dark coppery or orange tone.

In November last year a total lunar eclipse was visible from Europe,
Africa, the Americas and much of Asia.

The BBC weather forecast for Tuesday night is for rain over Scotland
and Northern Ireland, extending to much of Wales and parts of
south-west and north England.

Showers elsewhere will fall back to coastal districts of the east and
south. It will become mainly dry in many central parts of England and
Scotland.


Grrrrrr. It was below the horizon in this part of the world. Dang!
