Lunar Eclipse

At 7PM, on the 20th of February, a short PowerPoint talk will be given in the Sanctuary of the Unitarian Universalist Parish (a.k.a. The Stone Church), Chester, Vermont, by Claudio Véliz, President of the Southern Vermont Astronomy Group on what a lunar eclipse is and how it occurs. This will be followed by everyone congregating outside, weather and sky conditions permitting, of course, to watch the real deal: a total eclipse of the moon, caused by the earth's shadow obscuring the full moon disc. The 'juicy' (visibly noticeable) part of the event will begin at about 8PM, with the total portion of eclipse occurring from about 9 to 11 PM.

All are welcome to attend, no special instruments are required, just your eyes, your curiosity and your sense of humor. Oh yes, remember to dress warmly! Feel free to email any questions to us at SoVerA.
