"Blood Moon" lunar eclipse

[Zippersdad]

If you were out last night (and had clear skies) you may have seen the lunar eclipse. I took some pictures of it to share with y'all.

Very nice. Of course here in New England we had pretty solid cloud cover, so............. maybe next time.

I think it's going to happen again on October 8th of this year.

I think the blood moon happens once Evey 500 years.might have a long wait.

There are three more going to happen in the next 17 months.

Sent from a Speak & Spell wired to a record player, a saw blade, a fork, and an umbrella.

Gravitational Force between the earth and the moon?

F = G mM / r^2, where
F = gravitational force between the earth and the moon,
G = Universal gravitational constant = 6.67 x 10^(-11) Nm^2/(kg)^2,
m = mass of the moon = 7.36 × 10^(22) kg
M = mass of the earth = 5.9742 × 10^(24) and
r = distance between the earth and the moon = 384,402 km

F
= 6.67 x 10^(-11) * (7.36 × 10^(22) * 5.9742 × 10^(24) / (384,402 )^2
= 1.985 x 10^(26) N



Now I got to start all over, forgot to figure in the blood moon effect! Great Pics.
