JPL just published Jane's "What's Up" for February, which has a great explanation of a lunar eclipse, and information about viewing Saturn: http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/videos/whatsup/whatsup20080219/ Now about that eclipse ... :) The current forecast is "mostly cloudy," which might mean we'll get to see peeks of the moon through what astronomers call "sucker holes," meaning they suck you into going observing when it's really hopeless. :) Nevertheless, as long as it isn't raining, and there are some breaks in the clouds, I plan to set up a telescope at Myrtle & Lime in hopes of catching a few glimpses of the moon in eclipse. You can see the eclipse from anywhere that isn't cloudy of course, but we'd love to have you drop by and say "Hi" if you're out and about!
