StreetCowboy Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Can anyone explain why the moon turned red at 5am this morning? 5 am? I'm surprised it was still above the horizon at that time as it rises at around 6 pm at the moment. Were you facing east or west? http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/544676-by-special-request/page-2#entry9268682 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apalink_thailand Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 (edited) Finally, something exciting happens on my birthday. My favorite freelancer just rang me to tell me she's going back to the province ('no customer') and I'm wondering how I'm going to endure Pnomh Penh during the hottest month of the year, but an eclipse on your birthday has to be a good sign, right fellas ? Er, fellas ? <sound of chirping crickets> You may want to listen to an old Bonnie Tyler song then.

Equalizer Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 When Christopher Columbus came to the New World—specifically, the north coast of Jamaica—he was able to use European scientific understanding to correctly predict a lunar eclipse. The event is known as the March 1504 lunar eclipse, and occurred when Columbus, after he wanted to be seen as god-like, stated that he would make the Moon disappear during the night of February 29, 1504. The reason Columbus wanted to prove he could make the Moon disappear is because he and his crew were eating a great deal of the inhabitants' food, and the inhabitants refused to feed them anymore. Columbus was right in his prediction, for he used astronomical tables and local clocks in order to predict when the lunar eclipse would happen, and was able to convince the inhabitants that he had the power to make the Moon disappear and then reappear. After the inhabitants believed that Columbus was truly able to make the Moon disappear, they begged him to return the Moon to its previous form, and after roughly an allotted amount of time (the amount of time Columbus discerned to be how long the eclipse would last), Columbus agreed to return the Moon, and the Moon began to reappear. The next day, the inhabitants gave Columbus and his crew the food they desired.[8] 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slipperylobster Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 You were seeing either the rising sun (reflected off of the moon), or your eyes were bloodshot from being up at that ungodly hour or smog. dirty air is what makes sunsets and moon rises pretty.

BKKdreaming Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 What area of the sky will it be at ? So many tall buildings around here I am not sure if I will be able to see it ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yann55 Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 (edited) So excuse my ignorance but does this mean the earth is between the moon and the sun? You better thank the Lord that you're not Thai otherwise you'd get the bashing of your life for asking such a question on this Forum !! And yes, it means the earth will be between the sun and the moon. In a solar eclipse, the moon is between the sun and the earth.

StreetCowboy Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 What area of the sky will it be at ? So many tall buildings around here I am not sure if I will be able to see it ? The moon will rise over the horizon partially eclipsed. Moon rise will be just slightly South of due East I think moonrise 1826 tonight for Bangkok http://www.timeanddate.com/moon/thailand/bangkok For me, I think the eclipse will be behind the local hill, and we'll miss it, just like the New Year fireworks It'll probably come up behind the hill completely eclipsed, but maybe I'll catch the end, as the shadow clears the moon SC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suradit69 Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 You can save time by watching it here. http://www.timeanddate.com/eclipse/in/thailand/pattaya For the first 25 seconds or so of the "video" the screen is completely black because the moon is below the horizon. Then it suddenly pops up. Not a celestial occurrence one sees every day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crossy Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Yeah, there's still a spot of moon between 8 and 9 o'clock (direction wise) and it's 19;15 It's past the total point which was at around 19.00 and only for about 5 minutes, we barely saw it as the moon was behind trees. Moon is now returning to normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
