Another Lunar Eclipse In Australia

[Bobj]

On Thursday, June 16th 2011

In the Eastern States the eclipse will be at 5.22 AM to 7.03 AM

Central Standard time (Adelaide) it will be 4.52 AM to 6.33 AM

Western Standard Time it will be 3.22 AM to 5.03 AM

*****************************************
Also, the Eta Aquarids meteor shower will be visible in the period 3-10 May 2011 with the best dates being the night of the 6/7 May

Look to the east-northeast about 3 AM

Eta Aquarids are the tail or dust particles of Halley's Comet that the Earth passes through..

A bl**dy good excuse to get up early, for once...Or twice...

11 meteorites 4.15 to 4.25AM; quite interesting.

Also, there are 4 planets on view at piccininny dawn, Venus, Mars, Mercury and Jupiter.

In Australia, that is.
