Title: Upcoming Lunar Eclipse
Post by: tuto99 on April 12, 2014, 06:53:06 PM: There's going to be a total lunar eclipse this Tuesday on April 15th. It's going to be visible for most of the United States, and partially for Western Europe, Eastern South America, Australia, New Zealand, and the rest of the Eastern Pacific. It should start around 6 pm UTC.

Are you an American living in the Middle East or was it temporary? If the former, would be interested in knowing, to what extent you would divulge, your situation that has you living there. If the latter, why did you have to leave, legal time run out?

As far as the lunar eclipse, I watched one as it occurred when I was a teenager in Florida...not quite as interesting as I expected, so I won't be up at the wee hours of the morning to see it again.

I am however looking forward to watching the Total Solar eclipse in 2017. I will actually take my family to Kentucky to see that at it's best. That's an event that is difficult to get a second chance with in a lifetime.
As an Internet user, i don't give away such info. All I'll say is: George Bush+Irresistable Oil= A very unhappy American(Me!) in other words I had to move due yo the economic collapse, like many others.
