I had a bad feeling about this for days. That is why I did NOT do a post on tonight’s total Lunar Eclipse earlier. By Wednesday of last week I had already seen that rain was being forecast for Sunday. So, I didn’t want to raise expectations IF we were going to be foiled by the weather (– again, as so often happens up here when it comes to matters celestial.)
I go out for a quick 1-mile walk, every night, around 11:30pm. So, the timing of this eclipse was perfect for me.
Last night, around 11:35, I noticed that the near full moon was peeking from behind thick clouds. So, that gave me a hint of what we could expect tonight — though I think the clouds will be thicker, & rain-filled tonight.
But, if you are up, around 11pm, you definitely should go out and take a gander. There could be a break in the clouds. You never know. It is always a great sight.
Yes, we did have a lunar eclipse over New Hampshire on January 20, 2019.
