We were watching the really odd looking moon earlier this week as we were
driving around and realized when we got home we couldn't see the moon from
our yard. So.. I went looking for something St. Louis related -- to see
there were any public viewings in/around North County. I'm still looking
for that but I came across this info for St. Charles public viewing:
http://www.stltoday.com/pr/local-news/PR0206080108417
St. Charles County Parks Department - At 7:30 p.m., on Wednesday, Feb. 20,
at the Quail Ridge Lodge in Quail Ridge Park, the St. Charles County Parks
Department will host a free public viewing of the spectacular lunar eclipse
occurring that evening. The moon will enter partial eclipse at 7:43 p.m.
(CST) and reach total eclipse around 9 p.m. The total phase will continue
until around 10 p.m., and the eclipse will conclude around 11 p.m.
(There's more info on the link)
Too far for us to travel after obligations that don't free us up until 8:00
.. but it does sound like fun.
