Are you Galileo?
I’ve been hanging out with a new buddy of mine and he mentioned that he’s built his own telescope. What?!? I had no idea that people still built their own telescopes - I thought it was just Galileo (yes I’m being facetious).
We chatted for quite some time about this (I’m a sci-fi nut so it’s not too far of a stretch to find common ground).
Apparently Calgary gets to witness a total lunar eclipse on the 27th. I’m going to try to bear witness to the entire thing since I’ve never had the opportunity before. And lucky enough I will get to see it through a homemade telescope to boot!
The eclipse is scheduled to start at 7:14pm (MST) and the moon is fully eclipsed by 8:23pm. It starts coming out of the total eclipse at 9:44pm, nearly and hour and a half! The eclipse finally ends at 10:53pm.
Should be an interesting event to watch.
