Total lunar eclipse on Thursday
 The angle to the horizon at mid eclipse will be 33 deg in London, roughly south. Therefore, anywhere with a clear southerly aspect. It's the moon so local light sources are not so much of a problem. If you are further north, then it will be lower in the sky. |

Nice to see GMT used after the politically correct brigade renamed it UST and cost us umpteen trees re-issuing paperwork

Nasa can't tell east from west
 That pic looks like those horrid Venn diagrams that I hated at school. I have never used a Venn diagram since! |

Ace photos!
There were some academics on Radio 4 this morning, debating whether the universe theory is now defunct - they were suggesting that we have a multiverse. Awesome. |
