Watch the total lunar eclipse May 15 from the park
Weather-depending – a big “if” – the Sorauren Stargazers will gather at the park this Sunday evening starting at 9:00 pm to watch the total lunar eclipse. Please join us by the shipping container between the baseball diamond and off-leash area.
The eclipse begins at 9:32 pm as the Earth’s shadow begins to fall across the face of the moon. The shadow grows larger until the entire moon is covered at 11:29 pm – peak eclipse or totality. Depending on the view and atmospheric conditions, the moon often takes on a dark coppery hue during totality.
As of writing the weather forecast is not promising. However, if there are breaks in the clouds, it will be worth a try. We’ll have a telescope and binoculars.

Clear skies!
