Blood moon tonight

Look up in the sky right as you roll out of Union after midnight.



L.A. Times
:
In Los Angeles, the most impressive part will begin at 10:58 p.m. when the first "bite" is taken out of the moon. It will be blotted out entirely by 12:06 a.m. Tuesday, said experts at the Griffith Observatory.

Look to the south for the moon, said Joe Sirard, an amateur astronomer who doubles as a National Weather Service meteorologist in Oxnard. As the “bite” spreads across the moon, it will transform into a dark “blood moon." The dark red hue will come from the light of sunsets and sunrises over the rest of the Earth.

The weather forecast for prime "blood moon" viewing in Los Angeles could not be much better.

“We’ll have clear skies -- even down to the beaches,” Sirard said.

  2. The full quote from Neil Armstrong: "That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind, and goddammit, don't put any one-lane roundabouts on four-lane highways up here!"

    Relax. By the time we populate the moon it will have too many railroads to permit any roundabouts.
