I didnt know there was a 6.30 in the morning

 

Yup its still there - its around that time in between the first and second coffee of the day usualy obtained from McDonalds so you can relieve yourself from the laxative effect of last nights ale and the first coffee

 

Hunters moon eh? Awesome - its gonna be cold so should be clear skies! brutal! Gonna have me some fun!

we were driving the truck to thetford this morning, it was right infront of us the whole way, slowly getting smaller and at 7.34am it disappeared. bit of an anti climax as it was a kind of reverse eclipse - no ring of light around it of course.

had a great view of it in Dumfries...fantastic crisp frosty morning (-9) with clear sky. Watched the moon fade away and then turn a beautiful shade of pinky red and I even saw a shooting star.

 

thanks for the heads up on this Judge, although you had me set my radio alarm clock for 6am and then the lady on the news said that the total eclipse would take place at 7.40am! Thanks for that

well i didnt really no what i was looking for so i dont no if i saw it or not either way i dont think it was worth gettin up at 6am and sitting on my shed roof in cold for a hour watching moon

Well done -- you got it. It's the shadow of the Earth that's crossing the moon. The moon goes brown because the sunlight is travelling through the edge of the Earth's atmosphere on its way to hitting the moon; so it goes red -- same as the sun goes red when we see it rising or setting over the Earth's horizon.
