Over 48 hours.
Tonight is a #FullMoon 🌕
Check the southern sky to see the "buck" moon after sunset.
#Jupiter and #Saturn🪐 will also be close to the moon (Jupiter appears closer to the moon, btw)

Tonight is also a #PenumbralLunarEclipse
Aka ☀️🌎🌕
The moon clips the outer part of Earth's shadow, called the penumbra. This area of the shadow is fainter than the umbra.

A #PenumbralLunarEclipse happen when sun, Earth and moon are almost aligned... but not as aligned as a partial eclipse, which would be more visible
Don't expect to see much tonight or you might end up looking like
#STEMeducation #astronomy
Penumbral lunar eclipses = physics meets astronomy meets geometry (probably meteorology and chem mixed in there, too)
Y'all better dig these tweets up at the end of November for the next #PenumbralLunarEclipse
My brain is fried trying to wrap around these concepts
Don't @ me
I'm serious.
