pattyboy Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 I've been looking on the Internet for information about the total lunar eclipse on August 28, 2007 (tonight) specifically for Thailand but haven't been able to find any. I did find this schedule for Singapore/Hong Kong and figure it should more or less apply to Thailand, as well. Does anybody else know how much of the eclipse we'll see and when? Penumbral Eclipse begins: 3:53 pm Sin/HK (07:53:39 UT) Partial Eclipse begins:4:51 pm Sin/HK (08:51:16 UT) Total Eclipse begins:5:52 pm Sin/HK (09:52:22 UT) Greatest Eclipse:6:37 pm Sin/HK (10:37:22 UT) Total Eclipse ends:7:22 pm Sin/HK (11:22:24 UT) Partial Eclipse ends:8:23 pm Sin/HK (12:23:30 UT) Penumbral Eclipse ends: 9:21 pm Sin/HK (13:21:01 UT) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashacat Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 Judging by the amount of cloud here in Bangkok today, we are not going to see much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pattyboy Posted August 28, 2007 Author Share Posted August 28, 2007 Judging by the amount of cloud here in Bangkok today, we are not going to see much. Yeah, it's sunny right now in Pattaya, but the clouds are rolling in like they usually do in the afternoon this time of year. I've done a little more research, and as we're 1 hour behind Singapore, the eclipse should peak at around 5:37 PM local time and last about 45 minutes (90 minutes from the beginning to the end of the total eclipse). I suspect it will still be little too sunny at 5:37 to see much, but if the sky is clear, I think there's a chance of seeing at least a bit of a red moon effect.

Sanpatong Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 Why doesn't God plan these things at nighttime when you can actually SEE it?! I'd complain, but complaining to God is almost as futile as complaining to MaxNet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quiksilva Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 (edited) Far too cloudy to see much of anything, at least looking out of my office here at Rama IX, anyone else? Although it looks like it could clear up shortly. http://www.ehow.com/how_5962_view-lunar-eclipse.html Edited August 28, 2007 by quiksilva Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garro Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 I hope this doesn't mean my neighbors are going to be firing guns in the air to stop the 'frog eating the moon'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
