There's also a total lunar eclipse on 21st December and a pretty good partial solar eclipse on 4th January. Whether you can see them depends where you are.

I forgot to look at the lunar eclipse, did anyone go out in the cold to see it?
Must remember the partial solar eclipse.

 

Lunar eclipses are not much to watch. I have seen several. Solar eclipses are something else. It is fun to see how animals, particularly birds, react.

Yeah ... it was like high 50s outside when I looked at it.

Here's the last remaining light hitting the moon .... I stopped filming shortly afterwards.....

Hello All,
One other good on-line site to check out is http://www.n2yo.com
This site is very easy to use. If you want to down load software, try
Orbitron http://www.stoff.pl/
If you have a good scanner that covers 137 MHz and a few hours to
burn, look for the NOAA Sats, 17,18 or 19 and down load this package.
http://www.wxtoimg.com/ You can watch weather sat photos real time.
Great Fun !!!! Your scanner may cover 145 MHz, if so, you can listen to
the ham radio operators on the Space station (ISS) making contacts with
hams here on earth.
If you want more info, www.amsat.org or www.arrl.org

Just thought I'd remind you about the partial solar eclipse coming up. Mostly visible from Europe, so if you are in America there isn't anything to see.
