Hunter's Moon Tonight--OT

Wiley Horne--Glendora CA

>Hi All,

SWMBO just hollered in to alert me not to miss the Hunter's Moon this evening. She thought that others in the Northern Hemisphere (sorry folks from Oz and NZ) might be interested, too, so I pass this along.

As the Moon passes through the Earth's shadow, it first goes pale and cold, then turns red. The Moon first enters Earth's shadow at 6:14pm Pacific, 8:14pm Central, 9:14pm Eastern, and 01:14am (tomorrow morning, the 28th) GMT. What is called 'totality' begins an hour and 10 minutes later, at 7:23pm Pacific, 9:23pm Central, 10:23pm Eastern, and 02:23am GMT. Totality lasts an hour and 20 minutes.

Here's the skinny from NASA.

The full moon rise this evening was spectacular. Clear and cold evening with sunset over the water and the moon rising over the marshes.

I am a carpenter by trade.Also a handyman/Jack -of-all-trades.I work around my neighborhood mostly helping people keep up their old houses.I have a fairly large woodworking shop in my house where I work with both hand and power tools. At the moment I'm focusing on Windsor chairs building.I will build most anything if needed. I'm always learning,adapting,changing trying to broaden my woodworking skills.I work mostly with hand tools in my shop but will use power if it is a better way to get the desired result. My wife,Donna,and I live in the woods of Maine with our dogs,cats,and birds. We have 5 grown kids and six grandchildren. Woodcentral has been central to my growth as a woodworker. I pass through this place every day.

>At this moment the sky is clear, and the moon is bright. Will check on it again around 9 pm.

I see this as a good omen for the Red Sox. what better way to break The Curse Of The Bambino than under a blood red hunters Moon?

Thanks for passing along this cool event Wiley.

>Todd O,

Please let us know what you see in Florida. I gotta wait til next year, looks like. Don't want to jinx the Sox, but it's looking pretty good so far.

Wiley ...... trying to guess Jesper's age from the pee schedule. It'd be my second time up.

>Wiley,

I just came in from about 15 minutes on moon watching. Looks like the elclipse has started. If the moon was a clock the the numbers 6, 7, and 8 are covered in black. guess I don't fully understand this. Was there to be a total eclipse first?

Missed the 'Sox scoring two runs while I was out there. Good thing I'm taping the game eh?

sorry for the bad weather you're having Wiley, that's are bummer. I'll try to keep you posted.

What's everybody else seeing?

100% eclipse.....

>and the moon does in fact lok to be dark red. Pretty cool.

Say, should we all be out in our shop sharpening a chisel or plane blade at this magical, mythical time. Seems to me that under these circumstances the edge should take on and keep the sharpest of edges eh?

Ahhhhhhh well, to late for that. Maybe I'll just get naked and dance in the backyard while chanting Red Sox, Red Sox instead. ;~)

What's the moon look like in Maine, Jack?

Sorry I didn't know enough to tell you what to look for (I didn't know myself). And it's a complicated sequence.

Here's what actually happened in photos. Note that the captions give the East Coast time.

I have been woodworking for about 25 years now, and would consider myself an enthusiastic amateur. My claim to fame (or infamy) has always been fixing stuff. I spent time in the Air Force in the 60's then went to work as an electronic technician for civil service. I finally got my EE, and being fed up with the civil service nonsense, took a job with Ford Motor Company until I went with the split to Visteon last year. I got interested in music and started playing in a bluegrass band. I wanted a new guitar, and that kind of led me into woodworking. I bought some books, a few tools, and built a guitar. Luckily, I didn't know any better than to try that as a first ever project. I still play it when I get a chance, so it must not be too bad if it can live for over 20 years. After a stint in Mexico for my job, I moved into a new house and built a small shop. Since then I have been collecting tools and skills, probably more of the former than the latter ;-). Finding this site has done more for my skills and enjoyment than anything else. I have learned a lot and really enjoy the friendships that I have made here. I have been married to LOML (Lori) for 32 years now and have 6 kids. When they are all gone, I want to get a 1 bedroom house (so there is not room for them to move back in) and at least a 6 car heated/air conditioned garage for a shop. (Dream on...)
