Seastallion Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 (edited) Am I too far south (Hatyai)? It was not total from my perspective, with a very definite corner (between 8 and 9 o'clock) never going dark. The sliver is getting bigger now, and was probably at it's smallest at 19:18. I was watching from 18:55. Edited April 4, 2015 by Seastallion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeCeDe Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 my balcony in Bang Na looks East so I was going to have a great view, no clouds perfect conditions , went out at 7:00 pm, damn, nothing there, I was so disappointed, must be the haze or light pollution... Then I started to see a slight crescent... How stupid am I? When the moon is fully eclipsed, you can't see it... duh! So I did see the moon eclipse! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moonlover Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 (edited) Can anyone explain why the moon turned red at 5am this morning? For the very same reason that the sun often turns red at dawn and dusk. It was sinking down through our 21st century polluted atmosphere! Actually that's not strictly true. It was sinking down through the lens of our 21st century atmosphere. Thought I'd better get in quick before the barstool astronomers kicked off!

Moonlover Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Can anyone share any pics if they can see this? I'm in Hua Hin and can't see it I'd have thought that in Hua Hin, you'd be in one of the best places to see it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Grumpy Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Was fine (but a tad low) from our village in Bangkok. The one 3 or so years ago that happened around 9-10pm was much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMA_FARANG Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Can anyone explain why the moon turned red at 5am this morning? ============================ Usually a red Sun at Sunrise means there is a cloud of dust or haze in the air and the rising Sun shines through that dust or haze which makes the sunlight dimmer and the Red color shows through more easily than other colors making the rising sun appear red.

Stan42 Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 Yes I've seen it. It's over now. I've seen a solar eclipse before, this was my first lunar eclipse. It was... ok I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
off road pat Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 3 hours and 31 minutes is 211 minutes not 209 minutes, this reporter need to learn to count but it is typical of the thai schooling system to be this good at maths or even english for that matter, a time would have been helpful but I guess that wasnt important enough for the story Oh, so good......!!! well said..

balo Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 I was driving back from Bangkok tonight around the same time and I noticed it was a clear sky and darker than normal . I could see stars very clearly. When I arrived home the moon was still covered with a black dot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post tormok Posted April 5, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted April 5, 2015 (edited) A quick photo from Phitsanulok last evening.

KhunBENQ Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 That picture was taken after the end of the total eclipse. Here in the village you would have been alerted by the firecrackers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Water Buffalo Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 <script type='text/javascript'>window.mod_pagespeed_start = Number(new Date());</script> 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? We face west. At 5am that morning the moon was setting in the west (of course). Anyway, it was far redder and nicer than the actual eclipse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
