Jerry, oooh ya!!! What a neat accounting. I love the internet, we are so privy to such wonderful things to understand and learn. This will be an event.
I know for a fact that before and after the full mooon, we have clear skies, that is pretty much a given. I can count on beautiful weather around the full moon, and I will be watching the night sky for sure on the 20th of February, that is not that far away. In the wintertime (why do I say such dumb things that we all know) the moon is so much higher in the sky than like in the summertime when it is low on the southern horizon, I know that I will visibly see (or not see) the eclipse of the moon. I have to find out exactly what time this is to occur, so I can ensure my eyes are there. I look at Skywatch, it is a good site. Beautiful and wonderful day, love our life we live, on our most greatest of places, Earth. Cindi
