Looks like there will be a spectacular lunar eclipse tonight. Unfortunately we will probably have clouds and storms in my area ....

"The Trump campaign announced in a letter that Republican candidates and committees are now expected to pay “a minimum of 5% of all fundraising solicitations to Trump National Committee JFC” for using his “name, image, and likeness in fundraising solicitations.”
“Any split that is higher than 5%,” the letter states, “will be seen favorably by the RNC and President Trump's campaign and is routinely reported to the highest levels of leadership within both organizations.”"

Thanks for the heads up. I’ll be watching tonight. Edit: Oops. I guess I’m a day late.

As usual, it was overcast here. It feels like whenever a great sky event is about to happen in my area, it clouds up.

I did see one of these great lunar events once, back in the mid-late-1980s.

Same. Raining, cloudy, overcast, and too many trees. It seemed bright beyond all those layers though.
