[Launch Alert] Total Lunar Eclipse

[kd6nrp at earthlink.net]

Just a quick note: There's a total lunar eclipse tonight. The weather hasn't
been very good in my area today. But it may improve for southern California this
evening and we may be able to see it.

The particulars are as follows:

          Event			 PST
-------------------------------     ------

Moonrise (Los Angeles)		17:34 

Moon Enters Earth's Shadow           17:43

Totality Begins			19:00

Totality Ends			19:51

Moon Leaves Earth's Shadow	         21:09

If the sky is clear, the eclipse should be easily visible to the naked eye. For 
the best view, use binoculars.

As seen from the Los Angeles area, the eclipse will begin at sunset when the Moon
is very low in the east.
