Happy birthday to me! I hope we can see it.

Thanks. Total eclipse segment begins from 6:27pm to 7:22pm (Beijing time). Is it going to be dark enough?

Well hopefully we get some kind of view that night, soon find out ;o). Funny enough my birthday on the 8th, happy birthday to you Elisa :)

Ooooo exciting! We'll be in Dali. Thanks for the heads up redjon!

tonight's the night

Might not see the start properly due to times starting about 5 but a 3 hour thing so hopefully see most of it, its a close run thing with the times, hoping to see the blood red look just reading about on some site but never been an expert in this subject so here's to hope lol

Some bad news on this after looking at this link I think.....

www.vercalendario.info/en/moon/china-8-october-2014.html#Yunnan

Its says after the schedule table

'We must take into account the altitude of the moon, for example, in Chongqing, due to the low altitude of the Moon (5 degrees) this lunar eclipse will not be very obvious'

So I looked at yunnans altitude on the table and that was 1 :(

Soon see lol

ja, maybe we can fly to the moon and to the sun yin soma pagan ritual.

i tend to think moon and sun can attract dead souls

@Gompo: Why?
