RugyDavy Posted December 10, 2011 Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 Lunar eclipse this afternoon and in terms of the UK we are best placed to see it. Aus and South Africa are geting the best of it, but assuming clear skies I believe our best chance for a glimpse is sometime after 14.00. http://www.scotsman.com/the-scotsman/scotland/head_north_for_glimpse_of_a_spectacular_lunar_eclipse_1_1994013 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuckleJoannie Posted December 10, 2011 Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 You could see it from Lerwick at about 3.30 http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd58/MuckleJoannie/DSCF1374.jpg http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd58/MuckleJoannie/DSCF1377a.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angel Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 Did anyone else see the Quadrantid Meteor Shower last night/early hours of this morning? I was watching in Lerwick and about 315am I'm pretty sure i saw a fireball, if it hadn't have been so late i would've thought it was a flare or firework but it was different! I'm just wondering if anyone else saw it? I saw lots of the other meteors (shooting stars) and it was giant compared to it, it actually gluffed me. What an amazing sight it was anyway [*** Mod edit - threads merged ***] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A daft question but you do know they don't look like the photos, tonights have been on since about 7pm (that I saw) mainly blue stripes across the sky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
