On the news tonight, they indicated one possibility is space junk such as
part of the satellite China shot down. But they said it was most likely a
meteorite. I was happy to find out my initial reaction of a plane crashing
was wrong.
Speaking of this sort of thing,
Here are the calculations I have done for the Full Lunar Eclipse on March 3.
It will be pretty neat to see the moon rise when it is in a total eclipse.
3:34 Partial Eclipse Begins
4:48 Total Begins
5:18 Moon Reaches Full
5:24 Maximum Eclipse
5:52 Moon Rise
5:53 Sun set
6:00 Total Eclipse Ends
7:13 Partial Ends
The moon will be rising from almost due East.
