Total Lunar Eclipse Tonight
Don't forget folks, tonight (Tuesday August 28) there is a total eclipse of the Moon. A table showing contact times is here, and a printable PDF with contact times and some kids activities is here.
The weather looks like it is going to be fine on the night, but just in case it goes pear shaped, the Discovery Channel will be streaming live feeds from telescopes around Australia (including telescopes run by some of my colleagues from Sky&Space). The ABC Science Online Unit will be covering the eclipse too, as will SpaceWeather. Amateurs watching the eclipse with telescopes can also watch for meteor impacts on the Moon.
