"Total Lunar Eclipse Special"


Scheduled for Apr 15, 2014
"On the night of April 14th, two significant and spectacular events will take place simultaneously, as Mars reaches its closest point to Earth while the Moon will be totally eclipsed. Slooh will present these events in real time, starting with coverage of Mars at 7 PM PDT / 10 PM EDT / 02 UTC (4/15) (International Times) from Slooh's telescopes off the west coast of Africa in the Canary Islands and transitioning to coverage of the Total Lunar Eclipse starting at 11 PM PDT / 2 AM EDT (4/15) / 06 UTC (4/15) (International Times) with live feeds from throughout North America. Viewers can watch free on Slooh.com or by downloading the Slooh iPad app. The live image stream will be hosted by Slooh Observatory Director Paul Cox and Slooh astronomer Bob Berman, who will be reporting live from Prescott Observatory in Prescott, Arizona. Viewers can ask questions during the show by using hashtag #Slooh."

  1. Of course, I lost track of time and didn't see it. However, they have up a video which I believe is the sighting.

  2. Saw part of the blood moon, outside I hooted a few howls, no wildlife answered, it was deadly silent, so I went back to bed.

  3. I didn't even see it because I was in bed sleeping. I was way over tired from having the grandkids overnight on Sunday.
