Total Lunar Eclipse
Oct 8 @ 2:17 am – 7:32 am

Maximum eclipse is at 10:55am UTC.

Decent viewing from Western USA, Timor-Leste, Indonesia, Philippines, Laos, Mongolia, Vietnam, China.

*** TWO FOR ONE SPECIAL! ***

This night is also the peak for Draconids Meteor Shower, which would normally be fairly washed out by the full moon… but during the eclipse, you’ll have a better chance of spotting these 10 or so meteors per hour. Good luck!

Cancelled – C.M. Crockett Public Night @ C.M. Crockett Park
Feb 21 @ 5:30 pm – 11:00 pm

Due to the anticipated snow, sleet and such for tomorrow night, as well as icy conditions that will be prevailing during the evening hours, we’re canceling the Public Night for Crockett tomorrow evening.

It’s hard to believe that Spring is just a few weeks away.  But, we’ll try again at Crockett on March 21st.

Please read the C.M. Crockett Page for park details.

Total Solar Eclipse

Eclipse totality will be hard to see unless you happen to be traveling to the Arctic (Svalbard or Faroe Islands.) However much of northern Europe and Eurasia will experience 90% coverage of the sun.
