I understand that tomorrow 14/6, there is to be a Total Lunar Eclipse, any chance you could bring us up to speed on this Snowcrash?.
It's about shadows and stuff.
And the moon goes dark orange.
Right, so is this a Total Eclipse or some other anomaly?. What's the best time to observe this and where should we look?.

It shouldn't,,, but for some reason that answer seems very funny :rofl:
This is the first I've heard of it.
My moon app says it a full Moon on the 15th called 'The Strawberry Moon' but it says nothing of an eclipse. Bl**d! useless app.
There are 3-4 a year (partial) eclipses a year.
I'm not going to google it 'cos you didn't answer your post 'Oh Wise One' or some such.
OK, I googled it.

The best place to view it is East Africa, Middle East and India.
It will be at it's greatest at 21:12:37 BST. So look east at Moon rise.
It starts 20:22:11 to 22:03:22 BST for totality, approx 1 hr 40 mins.
Splendid, thank-you.
Oh and it's June 15th or Wednesday.
As usual, the British weather left me underwhelmed.
I didn't even bother to go out as it was totally overcast. :(
Yeah, I tried but it was all clouds, couldn't see a thing :(
Only saw some of it on the TV, which isn't the same, yeah the British weather :(
