As many of you may know, this Sunday the 27th is going to be a full lunar eclipse! The Dartmouth Public Observing is going to have a special event on the green to make sure we get a fantastic view of this rare astronomical event! The moon will begin to pass into the earth's penumbra at around 9pm, fully entering the umbra a little after 10pm. Telescopes will be set up starting at 8:45 for the best viewing as the moon turns a deep red color. Tell your friends and classmates so that we can ensure that no one misses out! And remember, even if you can't come, just LOOK UP!
