Share an Eclipse Online!

I thought I’d lend my “space” here to my friend Kelly Beatty from Sky & Telescope Magazine. For the past 20 years or so a bunch of us have been meeting on Sunday afternoon/evenings on Compuserve’s Astronomy Forum to chat about astronomy and other such topics. On Wednesday October 27 there will be a lunar eclipse, and we’re inviting everybody who’s got a good view of the eclipse to log in to the forum (it’s open to those with CIS, AOL, and AIM accounts) and share their observations with others! Here’s Kelly’s invite:

I invite everyone to join us in the Chat Room of Compuserve’s
Astronomy Forum on Wednesday night, Oct. 27th, to talk about the total
lunar eclipse as it’s happening (it’s a real-time exchange — no time
lag!!). This’ll be a great chance to describe what you’re seeing and
to learn how it looks to others. These kinds of visual observations
can actually be valuable for post-eclipse analyses.

Tentatively, the chat will start at 10 p.m. EDT (7 p.m. PDT) — I
might be there a few minutes earlier or later, depending on how the
weather is here in Boston and on how the Red Sox are doing in Game 4.

To get to the Astronomy Forum, go to
http://community.compuserve.com/astronomy. To join the chat you’ll
need to login with an AOL, CompuServe, or AIM account. Use the login
button at upper right on the Forum’s home page. (I’m told that AIM
accounts are free.)

I hope to “see” you there on Wednesday!

clear skies,
Kelly

P.S. For times and other background info on the eclipse, see the
messages posted in the Astronomy Forum or go to the observing section
