For those who may not know, we've two total lunar eclipses in store for us in 2014. Times below are good no matter where one observes from. All times are UT. Azimuth/altitude positions of the Moon (in parenthesis) and altitude positions of the Sun are calculated for SPOC but will be close for all of northern Utah. 15 April Partial Begins: 05:58:19 UT (153/35) Sun -35 Total Begins: 07:06:47 UT (173/38) Greatest: 07:45:40 UT (185/38) Total Ends: 08:24:35 UT (197/37) Partial Ends: 09:33:04 UT (216/31) Sun -32 08 October Partial Begins: 09:14:48 UT (227/45) Sun -46 Total Begins: 10:25:10 UT (244/35) Greatest: 10:54:36 UT (250/30) Total Ends: 11:24:00 UT (256/25) Sun -25 Partial Ends: 12:34:21 UT (268/12) Sun -12 Considering the hour both eclipses happen I don't know if SLAS will hold any public eclipse watches but SPOC will be available so maybe there could be talk of private events. for those traveling from SLC maybe we could hire a bus... :) patrick (who will only let the bus jokes die when the anchovy jokes die)
Patrick, it would be very helpful for those of us not as conversant with UT as you are, if you could just put it in Utah time. I'd almost give a big anchovy for that to happen.

Oh, oh, I think I smell anchovy wars... :) Actually my first thought was to list MDT but then I realized that there are folks on the list in different time zones so rather than really confuse things by listing times for multiple time zones I figured I'd just do as NASA and the USNO do and list UT.

Both lunar eclipses are visible in their entirety from Utah, or almost so. I think one of them has the moon setting while still in an exiting penumbral phase, IIRC. (Thanks, Observer's Handbook!) On Tue, Dec 3, 2013 at 2:34 AM, Wiggins Patrick <paw@getbeehive.net> wrote:

Patrick: You didn't exactly clarify the situation because you left the UT tag next to each time even after you converted it to MDT. I actually prefer the UT because most astronomy events are not local events. It's good for people to understand that we live on a sphere and the local time is relative. DT

Hi Daniel, Well to put a positive spin on my goof I could say that after I converted the times the UT stood for Utah Time. :) patrick
