Lunar Eclipse

[Sealy]

Get your tin foil hats ready! Seperate your boy and girl Buns if not breeding, or put them together ( with their tin foil hats on of course) if you want them bred...
We will be having a Lunar Eclipse ( and a Full Moon!)on Tuesday,August 28th.

An eclipse of the Moon can only take place at Full Moon, and only if the Moon passes through some portion of Earth's shadow.

Aren't tinfoil hats also good for blocking psychotronic mind control?

:expressionless

 

[Sealy]

Yup yup. So maybe it is we humans that need them! I know tin foil hats really have nothing to do with the eclipse or full moon, but it just seemed to fit in a silly sort of way :raspberry:

Aw we won't get to see it here! But I shan't complain we saw one on the 3rd March this year.

Hmmm. How come y'all won't get to see it? I thought everyone in the world will get to see it, just at a different time?

Oh look! We can get some practice in and watch the meteors before the big eclipse. The Perseid showers peek this weekend. Go find a nice dark field to lie in and get the best view.

An entire looney lunar month! Fun for the whole family!

According to the link you posted it's only visable at Asia, Aus, Pacific and Americas. We will not see a total eclipse, maybe partial but it will be daylight here anyway!

 

[Spring]

It's early tomorrow morning isn't it? I'm so staying up to watch hehe

tip: using binoculars will make the moon looker even redder
Can't wait, got chairs out on the deck, of course its so windy, might need to bolt them down
It will be between 9.30pm and midnightish for us, been researching it a lot today, very fascinating event ...

 

[Spring]

Aww man! Wish I had binoculars. That would be so cool.

I'm excited as well, I've never seen anything like this.. I can see it perfectly from the bunny room window, so it's going to be great hehe.

I wonder if the Lunar Eclipse has made my guys into little rascals with each other, something must explain why there were so different with each other!

Just caught a glimpse of it here. Looked like a cloud was over it, but the skies are clear.

 

[lemonaxis]

[ellissian]

Aw, wish we could see it.
