Look to the skies Thursday night thru to 3am Friday for an almost total lunar eclipse! Posted by Delores Fenwick Nature Center
Look to the skies tonight to see an "almost total" lunar eclipse! 🌕 Tonight (and by that we mean overnight, like the "technically tomorrow" part of the night) we'll be in an excellent position to observe the lunar eclipse. The event begins just after 12am, but peak viewing in our area is at 3:03am. During this lunar eclipse, the moon will appear red as the Earth's shadow covers it.

Wow! So interesting to see what the GOES satellite can do for science! I actually thought the satellite was replaced a couple of years ago-but it's nice to know we forge forward and onward!
