Re: Lunar eclipse/comet tomorrow
Sure!! And to think all those folks in there working, and looking down on US....I find that unreal. At time, when it's really dark, the sun
's rays will strike it at just the right angle, and it "flares"brightly. I watch it all year. Just missed it tonite. I've seen some of the comets in my "time", Hale-Bopp was spectacular, what a tail!!!!!!!
