Lunar Eclipse Quicktime (11/08/03)

Hello,

I thought you might like to see a quicktime slideshow of most of the spectacular Lunar Eclipse on Saturday, Nov 8, 2003. It was very cold--temperatures were below freezing by 8:00pm! Totality was reached at 8:06 pm EST. The colors of the moon were fantastic, an impossible palette much too difficult to duplicate. The photos do not come close to reflecting reality! It was the most fantastic lunar eclipse of my life!

Just click on the link below to view the quicktime movie: http://typhoon.wcp.muohio.edu/western/naturalsystems/lunar_eclipse_110803.mov

The Anatomy of a Lunar Eclipse, from the BBC's Skywatchers await lunar eclipse.

Enjoy!
