Tonight there will be a lunar eclipse that will totally avoid Australia and New Zealand.

Could be worse, it's more frustrating if it is happening in your country but you cant see it for the ******* rainclouds that have been camping over you all week....

BWAHAHAHAHA! Yeah! Pity it's a few days too early.

For a wonder, it *didn't* rain the night of the eclipse, and the one large cloud drifting through the ecliptic managed to wait until after I'd seen it at totality (8 pm, local time) before covering it over. I like lunar eclipses - the moon changes through lots of interesting shades of red as it passes through the shadow of Earth, and it also takes longer. Of course solar eclipses have the "who hit the dimmer switch" weirdness, but since the only thing I ever get from holding up a pinhole is dots the shape of the pinhole, and looking at the sun through sufficiently dark filters just gives you a weird shaped sun, I think I prefer the lunar variety. At least to the partial variety of solar eclipse. I've never seen the other variety - total solar eclipses only seem to happen in places nowhere NEAR Los Angeles that I can't go to.
