I heard about it through PDM. All of the physics faculty got an email about it from the Astronomy Club at the university where he teaches.<BR/><BR/>dr s - it has been clouding over here as well, but the moon is shining through the clouds so far. They look fairly thin. Your college eclipse watching experience sounds like a memorable experience.<BR/><BR/>LL - if you can see the moon, you will see the eclipse. The eclipse will already be in progress as the moon rises over The End of World (otherwise know as "Bat Country"). Here in Atlanta, the moon rose near totality during the last eclipse. Seeing that blood red moon rising was a beautiful scene. Too bad none of my photos turned out.fermicathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06912496005011895707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30764196.post-13822769191387253572008-02-20T19:37:00.000-05:002008-02-20T19:37:00.000-05:00Hmmmm...

As the eclipse started, I put on <I>Dark Side Of The Moon</I>, went outside, fired up a joint, and watched the eclipse. I had a monitor set up outside to hear the music as the eclipse progressed, and played the <I>Dark Side</I> album in its entirety. Good times...dr sardonicushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06198551434246302063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30764196.post-51133850283019571482008-02-20T17:40:00.000-05:002008-02-20T17:40:00.000-05:00Now this is pretty cool -getting good news via the...Now this is pretty cool -getting good news via the blogs!
