Niles Cabin
Weather permitting, we will gather around 5:00 pm for simultaneous sunset and (full) moonrise and preparation for a potluck supper at 5:30 pm.
Then we will watch the total lunar eclipse, which is due to begin at 5:32 pm and reach its peak at 7:06 pm. Bring binoculars, groundcloths, blankets, lawn chairs, and warm clothes -- just in case.
If you've never watched this particular celestial performance, it's unforgettable. The Earth's shadow will slowly glide across the moon, producing images and colors that are way up there on the WOW! scale.
