Eastward, ho!
(with an eclipse on the horizon)
Updated Feb 24, 2008. See text at bottom.
My Lady Friend and I will return to Korea one month from today. We'll teach near Busan for at least one year, adding to the experiences that we gained while we taught in Yeoju.
The day after we arrive, on August 28, there will be a total lunar eclipse. In Korea and the rest of eastern Asia, totality will begin as the Moon rises. Europe, Africa and the Middle East won't be able to see the event at all.
The western United States and Canada will be able to see the entire eclipse, but further to the east, the Moon will set (early in the morning on the 28th) before the Earth's shadow passes over the lunar surface. See Shadow & Substance or Mr. Eclipse for more information.
On the night in question in Korea, it became quite overcast just before sunset. So we saw nada. However, there was another lunar eclipse six months later, which I was able to see fully in the midwestern US.
