🌕🔴 The Blood Moon Eclipse is happening Tuesday morning — good luck seeing it from the East Coast!
A total lunar eclipse is turning the Moon a stunning deep red tomorrow morning, with 58 minutes of totality. For those of us in Westport, CT and along the East Coast, the Moon rises already deep in totality... straight into clouds.

Total Lunar Eclipse Week!
On March 3, the full Moon slips into Earth’s shadow, glowing copper-red in a total lunar eclipse. No telescope needed — just clearer skies than the rain/snow currently threatening. Of course.
When it clears: Jupiter shines after sunset, Orion and M42 dazzle, and planetary pairings grace the evening sky.

The Taurids continue this week, Mercury makes an appearance under bright Venus after sunset, and the First-quarter Moon sits in Capricornus tonight. Also this evening, Jupiter's moon Io has its shadow cross the planet's face from 8:51 to 11:03 p.m. EST, followed by Io itself at 9:34 p.m. with the Great Red Spot transiting at 10:19 p.m. Sunday the moon cozies up to Saturn and actually occults the planet if you're south of Florida. The Full Beaver Moon is next Friday. See your Universe! https://skyandtelescope.org/astronomy-news/observing-news/this-weeks-sky-at-a-glance-november-8-17/

Earth is getting a temporary "mini moon" this weekend. The asteroid 2024 PT5, discovered in early August, will pass close enough to the Earth to be captured into an orbit, but will be perturbed out of it by late November. The asteroid is about 10 meters across and could be a piece of lunar ejecta or even space junk, astronomers state. "It's as if you are taking a long walk in the woods and a dog comes along and joins you for a while, before wandering away," said one scientist. "During that time, you had a companion, but it is not your dog." https://skyandtelescope.org/astronomy-news/earths-new-temporary-mini-moon-arrives-this-weekend

The Great Red Spot seen on Jupiter today may not be the same storm that was first discovered centuries ago. A new study argues that the storm, first seen in the 1600s in early telescope observations, may have disappeared and later reformed, based on more than 100 years of observations of Jupiter in the 18th and 19th centuries that did not record it. Scientists noted that, in recent decades, the current Great Red Spot has shrunk, and speculate that it, too, may disappear at some point and reform later.
