Old Ironmaker Posted April 4, 2015 Report Share Posted April 4, 2015 (edited) According to what I read this morning there will be 4" Tetrad" eclipses tonight. There have been a total of 8 of this type of eclipse in the last 2000 years. My 3 year old great niece won't see another one unless she lives to 100. I hope it's not overcast. The article didn't say what time or much more than what I said here. Anyone have anymore info than that?

Kawartha Kev Posted April 4, 2015 Report Share Posted April 4, 2015 The lunar eclipse is already over if I am not mistaken happened at 6:00AM this morning unless you are talking about something else haven't heard of 4" Tetrad eclipses before.

G.mech Posted April 4, 2015 Report Share Posted April 4, 2015 (edited) This was the third partial eclipse in a series of 4 eclipses this year, the last will be in September. The series of 4 makes it the 'Tetrad". This particular one was really not visible here as the moon was below the horizon. http://www.npr.org/blogs/thetwo-way/2015/04/03/397322864/get-ready-for-the-third-installment-in-the-lunar-eclipse-tetrad Edited April 4, 2015 by G.mech Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
