Penumbral lunar eclipse scheduled for 6AM PST This Morning!
Today........(11/28/12)....it may be too late to view........but at about 6AM Pacific time, if you’re not unlucky enough to have an overcast sky, you’ll be able to observe a penumbral lunar eclipse. This happens when the Earth moves between the moon and sun, and the moon ends up under Earth’s penumbra. According to NASA, the eclipse will be at its greatest around 6:33am, and will be visible until around 7am.

because....... of the way a penumbral eclipse manifests, viewers will not see a defined shape, instead being presented with a shadow that grows dimmer as the planets move. This makes it a bit harder to observe; you’ll have the best chance of seeing it when the eclipse is at its peak, assuming no clouds or fog get in the way.
Both the beginning and the end of a penumbral eclipse are not visible, with the visible eye being able to detect it once the moon is about two-thirds into the Earth’s penumbra. This falls between the PST hours of 6am and 7am. This is the last lunar eclipse of 2012; it has a magnitude of 0.9155, according to Wunderground.com.
If you’re in the mood for a bit of science, NASA has a list of all lunar eclipses in the Saros 145 cycle up on its website, which you can view via the link below. Each Saros cycle is a little over 18 years long, with tomorrow’s eclipse being part of the Saros Series 145. Says NASA: “Lunar eclipses of Saros 145…began with a penumbral eclipse near the southern edge of the penumbra on 1832 Aug 11. The series will end with a penumbral eclipse near the northern edge of the penumbra on 3094 Sep 16.”

Good morning, Jules...or will it? You haven't slept a wink!
Thanks for acknowledging the lunar eclipse today...the last one of 2012. :)
I love watching the ballroom dance playing about above our heads everyday.
You're right about taking pause and looking up...if more of us (including myself) would do this, we would be able to rebalance our lives, our priorities.
And yes, watching those blinking lights of jets passing by count too...I marvel everyday at the fact that someone is FLYING somewhere!
I want to give you a hug ...and everyone else, a good morning (afternoon, night) wish!
Time to look up! All those huge heavenly bodies up there...there must be more to life... <3
Well it certainly is an education stopping off here at Missy J's!
I have only seen one partial eclipse here in the UK many years ago - I do however see a huge heavenly body every morning when I get up and look in the mirror! I am sure it must have come from a circus (the mirror that is!)
Try not to fall asleep on that keyboard Jules, you'll end up with QWERTY face!
All the best!
Hey there GG........I'm fine............Of course,........I acknowledge....the 'eclipse'....I believe........the moon was once a part of the earth(literally)......We look at that 'man in the moon'........unconsciously, looking for a part of us.....that isn't here anymore..........!!!
We Love anything with wings......because even if mechanical(Jets).........if it can even get a little closer to the 'Stars'..........We want to take that ride.....and look for our original "Mother Ship".....floating zillions of light years in outer space.......It's the "Magic of it all".......that damn "Gravity"......keeps us grounded.....but not in the heart......where we can "Soar".........♥
Good lord........I'm just full of la la land today.......Ha...!!
Hope your week is going good....girlie........!!!
Dave!!!! LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That heavenly body!
:))))
Jules, you're waxing poetic this morning...must be your lack of sleep.
<3
I really like the first picture you have...are you missing the winter?
You are ALWAYS welcome at my house, girlie!
xox no sleeping at the W....
Dammit the hell.....Dave.....!!!
Don't make me "Smile"......I'm not ready to leave my "Pity Party".....yet........;)))))
Is "Tommy Boy"....still keeping watch while......you attempt...to take care of business...OMG.....
or maybe he just likes to flush the "Potty".......jeezus
Please..tell me.....you and your 'heavenly body'.......will "Never" stop "Hanging out" here(yes pun)......at my humble blog!!!!!!!!!
Big Smile.....
Thanks for stopping by.....and letting me dish out 'humiliation'......course, I'm dine on plenty of it myself too......
Hi Jules,
I see that you've been adding little tidbits here and there to your post.
I like the saying about stars and darkness...but you know, I learned that our universe is full of stars and is one massive light!! The only reason why we don't see all the stars is that many are so far away and their light hasn't reached us yet.
So I guess we are never really in darkness. I kinda like that thought.
All your talk about stars makes me wanna go out tonight and "feel small but a part of it all"...
Love you, girlie.
And, as always, a hello to everyone else. Your names are said in my heart and I wish you all well...and I wonder (just like that song you made me listen to, Jules)...I wonder where they are?
Hey......GG......!!!
Yes I wonder too......where all the stars we can't see.....and are they feeling lonely......??!!!
I just love the thought of another "EARTH".....somewhere......out there.......!!
after all, the forces that came togther, for us to be......Surely must have happened some where else.......!!!!!
Scary........!!!
what if the "EARTH" out there is full of 'Earth lings' who look just like Dave.....??!!
OMG........
LOLOLOL!!!
"Teasing" Dave......!!
;))))))
Dave and his "heavenly" body.
LOL
That must be what "they" call Heaven.
Yes girls, there is a (not so)little slice of heaven right here!! LOL!
On another note, I see Daniel has a Q in December's EnRoute, how geeky am I that I think this is cool??
Enjoy the Weekend folks, I intend to - off to LHR Sunday morning to pic Bro up from flight ACA854, camera chargin as we speak, oh lord, please let me take just one pic in focus!!
