Pagan for a night! (Lunar eclipse on solstice tonight)

[strawman]

Tonight we will experience a total lunar eclipse (visible in the contiguous US) and it will occur on the Winter Solstice:

One Pagan blogger characterizes it as, "Think of it as a magical super-bonus round."

Unfortunately it will be cloudy here tonight, but it's something that happens so rarely as to be noteworthy.

I'll be accepting donations in beer and serving ribs.

Say, do we have any spare virgins around?

 

[Krisken]

Hobo Ninja hasn't been around for a long time.

Nope, all virgins have been reserved. You may apply for a virgin by filling out the correct paperwork at your local comic book store.

Why do you think I asked?

Ugh, no thanks. Last time we did something like that we were punished with rain that smelled like Cheetos.

It's cloudy here, too. It will probably be impossible to see from my house

 

[Hylian]

It is really cloudy here right now but I am hoping it will clear up by tonight (doubtful but I am still hopeful)

 

[North_Ranger]

The eclipse is on right now in Finland. But it's too cloudy to see it.

Oh well... Guess I'll strip naked anyways.

 

[Philosopher B.]

I hope for it to cross my peepers. 'Twas cloudy earlier, but not so much right now.

You're pagan if you are a Christian experiencing a lunar eclipse on the winter solstice.

You don't wanna know what happens if you're Jewish tonight.

 

[North_Ranger]

You turn into a menschwolf?

You don't wanna know what happens if you're Jewish tonight.

?

 

[North_Ranger]

HEY! Stop stealing my joke, you schmuck!

 

[AshburnerX]

I have pictures. Your joke is relevant!

 

[Philosopher B.]

Oh man, I just looked outside, no clouds in sight. I am jazzed.

 

[jwhouk]

Too bad it's going to be hidden behind the clouds full of snow here in the Midwest.

 

[strawman]

We just got home from some games with friends, and there is little cloud cover right where the moon is at. We probably won't stay up anyway...

Lunar Eclipse Monday night: Where can it be seen? - CSMonitor.com

A good resource on when the various stages will occur. The eclipse will be in totality for about 72 minutes, starting at 2:41am EST. The first stage of the eclipse, when the moon starts to wander into the earth's penumbra, will start at 1:15am EST, which is about 25 minutes from now.

 

[Philosopher B.]

My camera ain't the best on the planet, but I'm filming the moon right now.

 

[AshburnerX]

Fucking snowstorm... ruined my view tonight.

 

[Hylian]

I managed to see part of it for a few minutes but than the clouds came back

 

[Baerdog]

There were clouds.
