Total Lunar Eclipse over BRC during the event!

Post by The Lone Burner » Tue Jul 03, 2007 12:10 am

LUNAR ECLIPSE OVER BLACK ROCK CITY ON AUGUST 28th, 2007:
The partial eclipse will begin at 01:50:57 PDT and end just over 3½ hours later at 05:23:50 PDT, and will be visible from a slightly smaller area. The total eclipse lasts for 1½ hours; it begins at 02:52:00 PDT and ends at 04:22:45 PDT, with the moment of greatest eclipse at 03:37:22 PDT. [Time translations for BRC given!]

If it's any consolation, normally I'm completely anal about spelling and writing in full English. :lol:

Glad to hear I gave you a laugh.

I'm just happy the eclipse ends completely about 4:20, how convenient!
