Lunar Eclipse Party

[Owlunar]

I live in a big city @utopia - we lose a lot of views of the sky before that - I can't see the Milky Way tonight

I think the lights from the earth affect how we can see the moon now - it's getting darker here and I can still see that it's round

And he's gone. Full Eclipse now

[utopia]

False alert @Owlunar. Must have been clouds. I cansee the oorange moon again

[Owlunar]

Yes - the orange moon - not as red as the cherry moons I have seen @utopia

[utopia]

Well I'm off to bed now @Owlunar. Can't believe it's so cold. Can't stay outside any longer. Who would have thought 2 days ago it was boiling.
Well goodnight. Enjoy your moon gazing.

[Owlunar]

I think I will go to bed myself @utopia

The moon is cherry red now but starting to get lighter - I might go out and watch now and again but you are right - it's cold

1.03 am

I think the fun is over - it's all the same but in reverse - but for everyone else at the party - that was fun and interesting

If anyone is interested in why the moon turns red during an eclipse look up

Hi @Zoe7, this has been the best forum party! Imagining there will be more to come in the morning. Thanks!

@Zoe7 I am super disappointed that I was busy changing the world and thus couldn't make it to the lunar eclipse party yesterday. I was on an aeroplane too early to see the eclipse, and then I woke up around 2am and google told me it was pretty much all over by then. Really @Former-Member, you should have consulted with all Forumites before eclipsing to make sure your eclipsing fitted in with everyone's schedule!

..perhaps if you keep flying you may catch up with the Blue Moon @Phoenix_Rising 😸😜
