Justin Waring šI got clouded out from the Mars/Moon occultation, but the Geminids are coming up next for cold-weather observing. š„¶

Paul š³ļøāšFrom my position (051 26 26) I made the #MarsMoon #occultation to be 60 minutes and 8 seconds long between first and last contact. #Astrodon
I made reappearance at my position (051 26 26) as 05.59.20 UT with last contact 05.59.55 UT
Joe MansfieldIām sure all the astrophoto experts will get really cool shots of Mars disappearing behind the limb of the Moon tonight but Iām very happy with this given my fairly minimal level of expertise.

John Hayden#marsMoon conjunction happening now - just shy of eclipse here in Boston.
Crazy to think that if i drove a couple towns north, the moon would be covering up Mars!

Ross of OttawaWell it's been overcast and rainy today so I missed the #MarsMoon spectacle.
I was looking forward to the big fiery #Mars corona as the #moon exactly eclipsed the planet. Oh and the gravitational lensing as Mars passed the limb of the moon would've let us count the rivets on Oppy's back.
But no, all was lost in an astronomical failure of cooperative weather.
SandyDriving east across north FL starting around dusk, I noticed mars chasing the beautiful full moon. Watched it slowly catch up, not realizing that what I saw had a name. I was too far south to see it properly but it was cool to notice the unusual event without being prompted. #MarsMoon #mars #moon #occultation
