Anyone else gonna see the Lunar Eclipse?
Archive: 76 posts
Showtime for the lunar eclipse After weeks of buildup, it's finally time to go outside and see the full moon go dark - or, if it's cloudy, watch the total lunar eclipse over the Internet. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/40754925/ns/technology_and_science-space/ | 2010-12-21 05:03:00 Author: Spazz ![]() Posts: 484 |

They said that North America will have the best seats in the house on 2:41 a.m. ET Tuesday http://msnbcmedia3.msn.com/j/MSNBC/Components/Photo/2010/December/101219/101220-coslog-map-1130a.grid-6x2.jpg | 2010-12-21 05:15:00 Author: Spazz ![]() Posts: 484 |
Darn in, was gonna post about this! >_< Yeah...a rare eclipse, happening the same day as Winter Solstice, hasn't happened since about 200 of 400 something years if I recall corectly. Won't hapen again until about 209X I think. So...yeah, big event. ![]() Starts I believe at 12:15am on Central time, no? Will end at about 4am, and full eclipse at 2:45am? | 2010-12-21 05:17:00 Author: Silverleon ![]() Posts: 6707 |
Must be a lucky sign that it's occurring on my birthday. I feel special. ![]() Really is an amazing thing. Share what it's like if you guys see it. I'll be long asleep by then and it's far too cold to go outside... | 2010-12-21 05:21:00 Author: piggabling ![]() Posts: 2979 |

It may have been a mistake to resuscitate another old thread for this purpose.. but my god, this is EPIC. | 2010-12-21 07:47:00 Author: Astrosimi ![]() Posts: 2046 |
D: Cursed things are back. ![]() | 2010-12-21 07:47:00 Author: LWBear2 ![]() Posts: 332 |
This is a solstice eclipse, as in... you won't see another special one like this in your lifetime. there's a link to a cam though. | 2010-12-21 07:50:00 Author: LWBear2 ![]() Posts: 332 |
It's started, My GAWD, IT'S BEAUTIFUL. | 2010-12-21 07:56:00 Author: LWBear2 ![]() Posts: 332 |
r u srs. http://i765.photobucket.com/albums/xx299/mercury288/LunarEclipse.png THAT's what's SO interessting? | 2010-12-21 08:09:00 Author: Merc ![]() Posts: 2135 |
It's a one-in-a-lifetime thing to watch and It's not done yet | 2010-12-21 08:11:00 Author: Spazz ![]() Posts: 484 |
LOL Its an eclipse, i'll see another one in 2014. A solstice? I experience 2 of those a year. Just because they are happening at the same time doesn't mean ****. You think the eclipse is so amazing? Take a picture now and then and compare, they'll look the same. You're going to experience more in your lifetime, a rock blocking the light from a ball of gas isn't special. Jeezus dude, some people just like to appreciate the pretty things in life... | 2010-12-21 08:15:00 Author: TheZimInvader ![]() Posts: 3149 |
@LWBear; Congrats on getting a double post kill streak. Your care package is waiting. I don't get the "ZOMG THIS IS DOUBLE RAINBOW MEETS PUDDI MEETS CHUCK NORRIS MEETS PIE" reactions people are dishin' out, it's the moon going dark, then lighting back up. Jeezus dude, some people just like to appreciate the pretty things in life... It's a rooooooooooooock. A roooooooooooooock. It would have made sense if you would have said 'simple' things in life, but a rock going from glowy, to not glowy, to glowy again, is not pretty IMO. | 2010-12-21 08:17:00 Author: Unknown User ![]() |

Well, without this roooooooooooock you seem to underestimate, this is what the world would be: 1. The day would be eight hours long. 2. The winds would be much stronger. 3. Complex life might not exist yet. 4. When life did arrive, it would have a different biology. | 2010-12-21 08:38:00 Author: LWBear2 ![]() Posts: 332 |
So we come here to see something scientifically interesting that only happens once every X years, and then Brem comes along to burst everyone's bubble and start an argument...Was that really needed? We just wanted to talk about the eclipse, then you come and curse everyone out just for thinking it's pretty cool. | 2010-12-21 08:45:00 Author: TheZimInvader ![]() Posts: 3149 |
I didn't say 300-500, I said IN YOUR LIFETIME. You know what, forget it. I agree 100% with Zim. | 2010-12-21 08:49:00 Author: LWBear2 ![]() Posts: 332 |
Its too cloudy!!! Waaaaaaaaaaaaah! | 2010-12-21 08:50:00 Author: koltonaugust ![]() Posts: 1382 |
I'm not estimating the value of the moon, i'm estimating the value of your intelligence. You said it only happens every 300-500 years. When it CLEARLY happens every 4 years, with the next one being in 2014. So apparently, your mathematical skills are off. Actually, the last lunar eclipse on a solstice occurred 400 years ago. *456 to be exact. Oh, and remember a lot of users on this site are kids. And even the ones that aren't don't want their mood to be ruined. You wouldn't walk up to a kid playing with some new toys on christmas and say "That's a bit rubbish, and they'll probably break soon anyway. Also, your parents didn't pay much for them." There is really no need, nor anything productive, friendly, funny or nice about pulling everyone out of their good moods and telling them they're being stupid for admiring something beautiful. But, whatever helps you sleep at night, Bremnen. r u srs. http://i765.photobucket.com/albums/xx299/mercury288/LunarEclipse.png THAT's what's SO interessting?

I'm satisfied with my solstice eclipse, so this is good night. See you in the forums. | 2010-12-21 09:02:00 Author: LWBear2 ![]() Posts: 332 |
Yea dayne, I know their ages, they are 14-15 years old, a few younger(very few). When you hit puberty, an eclipse shouldn't be amazing anymore. Morgana isn't a kid, Foofles isn't a kid, Silverleon isn't a kid... Just because we find it interesting doesn't mean you have to. And don't think you offended me with your little comment, I already tell kids they are spoiled when they ask/get stuff for christmas since all they ask for is expensive stuff, go check the christmas thread so you can make me a bad guy from that if you want. Offend you?! Ha! It'll take nothing short of time travelling ghosts to make scrooge see sense. Although even with the mightiest logic you wouldn't be able to make a troll see it. And don't try and correct me. I said 300-500 because that's what everyone else has been saying, sorry I didn't google the exact date like you. I didn't google it. They mentioned it on the news. I'm sorry for trying to back up someone from your relentless rain of hate. /exaggeration | 2010-12-21 09:28:00 Author: Weretigr ![]() Posts: 2105 |
Why do you love to make an argument out of anything and everything? I'm outta here. | 2010-12-21 09:29:00 Author: TheZimInvader ![]() Posts: 3149 |
See you on the next eclipse thread everyone ![]() Oh, and is it still going on in America now? It's daylight here, so I can't see anything... | 2010-12-21 09:33:00 Author: Weretigr ![]() Posts: 2105 |
And all I got waaaaas... rain. -_- Teh evil rain. | 2010-12-21 09:38:00 Author: Outlaw-Jack ![]() Posts: 5757 |
Man alive... As for me, I find eclipses very interesting. I find sunsets interesting. In fact I find most things interesting, despite the fact I'm almost 41 years old! Those of you who like to see the magic in nature and the world around us, please continue to discuss. Those who don't - take your negativity and move along ![]() Please continue... | 2010-12-21 09:49:00 Author: BabyDoll1970 ![]() Posts: 1567 |
Well that was a fun reason to stay outside in 2 AM in the morning. ![]() | 2010-12-21 16:53:00 Author: CyberSora ![]() Posts: 5551 |
As I expected it was too cloudy to see anything from my home. I haz a sad nao. Loving the pictures and videos of it though. About all the drama - disappointed would be the word I'd choose. Not that you guys that aren't into this aren't into this but that you choose to ridicule anyone who is and post in a thread that you clearly have no interest in the topic. Astronomy and the goings on of the Universe is not small potatoes and not just something little kids find wonder and amazement in. Looking up at the night sky, looking at photos from Hubble and thinking of how small we are in an infinite universe are as close to spiritual experiences as I can get. I'd hope people would respect that just cuz they aren't into it doesn't mean it's not significant for some of us. | 2010-12-21 17:06:00 Author: Morgana25 ![]() Posts: 5983 |
I wanted to see it and thought of staying up a bit longer. However upon looking outside, it was snowing and completely overcast and no chance at all to see anything except the sky become dimmer and then brighter. ![]() I was really bummed as I love to see events such as these.. | 2010-12-21 17:12:00 Author: jwwphotos ![]() Posts: 11383 |
It was an awesome sight, really. Moon turned this weird color, and I went outside and managed to catch a shooting star ![]() These kinds of things are the ones that make you slow down and appreciate the smaller pleasures of life, you know? | 2010-12-21 17:23:00 Author: Astrosimi ![]() Posts: 2046 |

I'm in the same boat as you. We caught some of that snow band too and couldn't see anything, even if I had stayed up long enough. What a shame... The videos are pretty nice though. ![]() | 2010-12-21 17:55:00 Author: piggabling ![]() Posts: 2979 |
Non-teen reporting in: It was a beautiful crystal clear cold nite. The type of full moon light that can trick you into thinking the moon is daylighting... [or is that versa-visca?] Cool unwordly blueish white hues... Then of course-- caught complete unaware's the skies went dark. The Moon turned blood red... then black. My God has been angered. I have lost my mind. All my rage and misfortune must be heaped on the head of an innocent to slaughter. I must appease my mistress! A sacrifice. No- Nothing of interest here Bremnen. Go about your day (and/ or night) unaware... It'll be easier that way. Of course, you're hardly innocent though are you?:hrmf: | 2010-12-21 18:07:00 Author: Gravel ![]() Posts: 1308 |
And all I got waaaaas... rain. -_- Teh evil rain. This, made me laugh for a very long time. I don't even know why but lmao xD | 2010-12-21 18:51:00 Author: Unknown User ![]() |
yes. quite true. lul. I find it very sad that the moon was on the other side, and I couldn't see it all night, I stayed up to 4am trying to see it, but ended up playing Worms with mexicans all night. Yeah, fun times. | 2010-12-21 19:15:00 Author: Merc ![]() Posts: 2135 |
Gee thanks SilverLeon for sending me a message on PSN regarding the Lunar Eclipse RIGHT when I left to go potty.... And couldn't catch the message until this morning. | 2010-12-21 19:36:00 Author: illuminationx ![]() Posts: 860 |
Gee thanks SilverLeon for sending me a message on PSN regarding the Lunar Eclipse RIGHT when I left to go potty.... And couldn't catch the message until this morning. D: I invited a buunch of people to a chat and all. XD Sure, the chat went of topic as [censored], but hey. ![]() Hey gaiz, guess wut? The eclipse is ovar, we can drop this subject nao. Astro can't read, as usual. Inan is correct, argument is over, eclipse is over, move along. Actually, we partially recorded it here (not continuously, we recorded a while, then stopped for a bit, then checked again about every 20 mins.) May be able to get it into may PS3 and Upload it, for those who missed it. ![]() So, do NOT move along quite yet! ![]() | 2010-12-21 21:10:00 Author: Silverleon ![]() Posts: 6707 |
*sigh* Using the logic put forward by Bremnen and Inanimacy, once an event is over it is no longer up for discussion? So does that mean we can't discuss movies we've seen in the past or LBP levels we've played or created in the past? Come on ![]() The only reason I'm not locking this is because the derailment has not been by those who have a genuine interest. I don't usually do this kind of thing publicly, but let me make this very clear. Bremnen and Inanimacy - GO AWAY from this thread. You clearly have no desire to add to the discussion, so please do not. That is my final warning. Sorry to be off topic myself. Go ahead and discuss the wonders of the universe. Anyone got some footage to post from last night? It didn't happen here.. moon was white - although I was tired and didn't sit up for very long. EDIT: About the deleted posts below - Posting fake agreements or hidden arguments does not constitute valid posts in this thread. And the defiance of my request has been dealt with ![]() | 2010-12-21 21:56:00 Author: BabyDoll1970 ![]() Posts: 1567 |
Well, alrighty. I've one picture here. It sucks, but you can see the moon being obscured at this point. I've another one of a reddish moon, which I guess I'll upload some time later. http://l8.sphotos.l3.fbcdn.net/hphotos-l3-snc4/hs716.snc4/63601_1657300947238_1078546534_31771294_981911_n.j pg | 2010-12-21 22:46:00 Author: Astrosimi ![]() Posts: 2046 |
Here's some really cool shots from all over the world. http://photoblog.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2010/12/21/5688266-a-total-eclipse-of-the-moon I'm going to see if I can find any closer up. | 2010-12-21 22:52:00 Author: Morgana25 ![]() Posts: 5983 |

This one from Morgana's link is my favourite... http://msnbcmedia.msn.com/j/MSNBC/Components/Photo/_new/g-cvr-101221-eclipse-17.photoblog900.jpg So beautiful... I want one to hang on my Christmas tree ![]() | 2010-12-22 01:01:00 Author: BabyDoll1970 ![]() Posts: 1567 |
That picture is really neat! Almost half sun, half moon. It reminds me a bit of Morgana's "Fire & Ice" level. ![]() Thanks for the pics all! | 2010-12-22 01:12:00 Author: piggabling ![]() Posts: 2979 |
This one from Morgana's link is my favourite... So beautiful... I want one to hang on my Christmas tree ![]() Yeah me too.. I remember when I was younger being out in the country and being able to experience all these events so much easier than where we live now. | 2010-12-22 01:37:00 Author: jwwphotos ![]() Posts: 11383 |
