[MIham] Lunar Eclipse

Space Weather News for March 12, 2006

LUNAR ECLIPSE:  When the full moon rises on Tuesday evening, March 14th, you
might notice something odd--a pale shadow darkening the moon's southern
hemisphere. That is the shadow of Earth, and if you can see it, you've
spotted a "penumbral" lunar eclipse.  Weather permitting, the eclipse will
be visible from eastern parts of the USA and Canada, all of Europe and
Africa, most of Asia and South America, and western Australia. The eclipse
will *not* be visible from California and other far western US states.

BLUE SUN:  Lately, the sun over Egypt has been turning a strange
color--blue!  This is a side-effect of very fine particles in the air kicked
up by seasonal dust storms. Where there are blue suns, there could be blue
moons, too, and maybe even a blue lunar eclipse.  Observers in and around
Egypt should keep an eye on the sky in the nights ahead.
