... and you won't be able to see it :bigass:.

The longest lunar eclipse of the 21st Century is ocurring this Friday. Unfortunately the USA is not going to see the blood moon this time, as it takes place during daytime. In my area the Moon will rise as it finishes entering Earth's shadow around 9:30 p.m. CEST (Central Europe Summer Time... a hour too early for my area), and will cross it for a hour and 43 minutes, doing so right through the center and near apogee (which explains the long duration). I plan to watch it, and I hope for no thunderstorms that evening.
Supporter of the construction of several running gags, including I-366 with a speed limit of 85 mph (137 km/h) and the Hypotenuse.

Please note that I may mention "invalid" FM channels, i.e. ending in an even number or down to 87.5. These are valid in Europe.
