Joel 2:31 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come.

Tomorrow morning almost everyone on the east coast in the Americas, eastern Asia, the Pacific Islands, and Australia will get the rare opportunity to see a special type of lunar eclipse called a selenelion, or horizontal, lunar eclipse.

A selenelion only occurs when a lunar eclipse happens around the same time as sunrise. Because of its timing, observers have the chance to see both an eclipsed moon-set and sunrise simultaneously.

According to simple geometry, we should not be able to see both the moon and the sun simultaneously during this eclipse configuration. However, Earth's atmosphere bends the light from the sun and moon, making them appear higher in the sky than they actually are.

Tomorrow morning's total lunar eclipse, which will be the last total lunar eclipse this year, will begin at 4:45 a.m. EST and end at 9:05 a.m. EST. However, the most brilliant part of the eclipse, when the Earth completely shadows the moon from the light of the sun, will start at 6:25 a.m. EST and end at 7:24 a.m., lasting 59 minutes. It is during this window that the moon will take on its infamous blood-red hue.

See you in Hell Ray!

How long before the Uranus Astronomy Dude writes an article...."Selenelion Eclipse Testifies of Christ"?

Of course this means total heathenism is expected from you and each of you prior to the end of the world tomorrow.

I think we are OK. We need the blood-red moon AND the stars have to fall from the sky as well. At least according to the Prophet Bono:

Bono Vox wrote:I'll see you again when the stars fall from the sky, and the moon has turned red over One Tree Hill. (Cue clangy Edge guitar)
