We have a moon?
When I was a kid, I tried to look at the moon with my telescope, but I could never get it in view. Needless to say, I never found Jupiter or Saturn either.
That's probably why I never became an astronomer.
Nice acronym, Mom!

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Tuesday morning, there is a total eclipse of the full moon. First total eclipse visible in the SoCal area in four years. The weather looks to be good that morning (knock wood), and I plan on watching.

I think I had a similar problem growing up.
Nice thing about this telescope? Thanks to its design, it's easy to sight the moon (unscrew a cap at the base of the cylinder and aim right down the barrel), plus it's got a groovy motorized, computerized base to help you find planets and stars. Once you've set azimuth, of course, which I haven't tried yet.

Yep. I'm a bit leary of bringing it into work at Uni, but there's some nice dark areas working on the back side of the hill, and I'm damned tempted to bring it in just one night, and break it out at the end of the shift.
If, you know, that's cool with you....

The moon enters the umbral shadow at about 1:51 am Tuesday morning. Totality begins at 2:52, and lasts until 4:23.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I'm excited about the lunar eclipse!
A milestone morning. At 5:30 a.m., I heard a small "THUMP", jumped out of bed and found Olivia had escaped her crib and was trying to climb into bed with Owen.
I'm part AWWWW and part GRONK this morning.
And I think anyone who accepts a proposal is engaged. Women (and I'm sorry but it does tend to be women) who are so caught up in the symbolism of THE ROCK meaning they're engaged are socially brainwashed or silly.
Why isn't the coffee brewing itself?
