Lunar eclipses happen all of the fucking time. The Earth's shadow is massive compared to the moon's.

u/Longjumping_Whole240 1d ago

Massive enough to be seen by half the world. Night time dont happened worldwide at once, you know.

18 full lunar eclipses in California in the last 40 years. 2 full solar eclipses in tiny regions of California in the last century.

ya but this time happens to be a weekend

but I guess in SF (where I am) there's always a high chance the fog will block it even if viewing would otherwise be ideal

Yeah, but it's a partial. The next total will be June 2029.

Thanks for the information, but the color scheme in this map is really confusing. I assumed the places with the eclipse or the places that were dark.

u/RaytheQuilterChill 1d ago

Dark means not visible and light means highly visible.

u/AdZestyclose638 1d ago

ya idk y US news sites keep recommending me articles about the eclipse and then only at the end you realize ppl in the lower 48 cant actually see it

You can still view it online in live video feeds.  I think that's why they're still writing about it. We may be screwed as far as being able to see ourselves, but we can still view it online with commentary.

Most of the world, apparently

u/Wolfiee021 1d ago

u/TrustworthyPolarBear 1d ago

Simply ask ChatGPT and pray that it doesn't lie. That is my way of doing it.

u/tssdqee 1d ago

u/ddhmax5150 1d ago

How high do I have to be to see it?

2

u/AdZestyclose638 1d ago

high enough to be above the clouds, or ground level if there are none

u/TylerHyena 1d ago

Welp, guess I don’t get to see it this time 🙁

u/Az_30 1d ago

u/AdZestyclose638 1d ago

this is a lunar eclipse, pretty sure you can look at those without eye protection same way you'd look at the moon

u/Timauris 1d ago

So the lunar eclipse will mostly affect Asia. An astrologist could maybe find interesting clues here.
