And it was red tonight, at least where I live it was. Anyone know why its red?
Imagine you are standing on the moon at totality. Looking at the earth all you would see is a black disk, with a red glow surrounding it. The red glow in the eastern hemisphere is the sun rising and in the western hemisphere its the sun setting. You would seeing the first rays of sulight in the east and the last remnants of sunlight in the west.
Last lunar eclipse I saw I was standing on the south rim of the Grand Canyon, and the Hale Bopp comet was in the northwest sky. Totally awesome.
