Thanks!
I will probably just sleep thru this one.. check the YouTube later for film. :-)
It might not be visible from Fairbanks, too far south.

Was at an “Eclipse Party” once. During totality the moon was totally gone from sight, no ‘earth shine’. One attendee suggested, “Someone should get a picture of that.”

It will turn red or orange. That is the color of the moon now as seen at midnight from Fairbanks as it is not even above treeline to the south. If visible from here, it will be oranger I suppose.
14 degrees above horizon at maximum, which would be local midnight. That would be visible among the trees, but still very orange normally. Best view would be down the powerline clearing if it’s clear, but recent full moons have not necessarily been clear.

What you saw was the earth blocking the direct SUNshine.
If that’s a lunar eclipse, then a solar eclipse must be when the sun passes between the earth and the moon.
Wouldn’t that cause global warming?
“Take a picture of the sound, Stephen.”
Yup. It took a couple if seconds to sink in, but it cracked everybody up!
Of course not, silly. Global warming is caused by using more than 1 sq of toilet paper and by not driving a Prius.
http://hubblesite.org/explore_astronomy/skywatch/#115 has a podcast about it. They usually run about 5 minutes
