Total Lunar Eclipse at Frosty Drew Observatory

On Sunday September 27th a Total Lunar Eclipse is taking place and it will be visible to all in New England. This will be an awesome night and Frosty Drew Observatory is opening to the public starting at 8:00 p.m. to view the eclipse.

The eclipse will begin at 8:11 p.m. and will start as a dimming of one side of the Moon. At 9:07 p.m. the partial eclipse will begin when a chunk of the Moon will start to appear missing. Total eclipsing of the Moon will start at 10:11 p.m. with maximum totality occurring at 10:47 p.m. and ending at 11:23 p.m. Once totality ends, the partial eclipse will continue until 12:27 a.m.

Frosty Drew Observatory will be open for the entire eclipse. Thehe Sky Theatre will feature video presentations about the Moon and the Observatory will be open for tours, though the main telescope will remain closed. We will have telescopes setup outside the observatory offering views of the night sky and Moon.

So dust off those binoculars. Grab a blanket, lawn chair, some tasty eats, family, and friends and catch a fabulous view of the last total lunar eclipse until 2018 at Frosty Drew Observatory!
