==== IN THE SKY THIS WEEK === Total Lunar Eclipse!
The Full Moon is Tuesday August 28, and on this night we will see the
best Australian total Lunar eclipse since 2000, and the best for some
years to come. The eclipse will begin roughly an hour after sunset in
eastern and central states, in Western Australia the Moon rises with
the eclipse in progress. Maximum eclipse, when the Moon will be a deep
copper colour, will be 8:37 pm in eastern States, 8:07 pm in central
states and 6:37 pm in WA. Speaking of the full Moon, Mars will NOT be
as big as the full Moon on August 27, this is a hoax that has been
circulating for years. Mars does look beautiful though. It is in the
constellation of Taurus the Bull as the bright red object below the
red star Alderbaran.
