Well, it could be BS, but at the same time it probably doesn't matter. I mean, from year to year the surface of the moon doesn't really change and if you have seen one giant earth-shadow you have probably seen them all.

At least the one I posted doesn't cut off too soon. I hate when I don't get to finish watching my shadows fading!

Touche!

But then, why even have this thread if all lunar eclipses are the same? This event has been happening for millions of years. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I was just grumpy cause I hate youtube hoaxes.

Took my dog out and it was decent out, not as cold as it had been. But was snowing so I didnt get to see it [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Us amateur astronomers had nothing to fix our telescopes on other than the pagans skinny dipping in the flood waters due to our heavy storm. Fair trade off [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I set my alarm. There wasn't a cloud in the sky. My eyes were a bit blurry from sleep, but worth waking up to see.
