KUER reported this afternoon that "astronomers say the next eclipse won't occur for another three years" or something to that effect. Was that from you, Patrick? ;-) -----Original Message----- From: utah-astronomy-bounces+kimharch=cut.net@mailman.xmission.com [mailto:utah-astronomy-bounces+kimharch=cut.net@mailman.xmission.com] On Behalf Of Patrick Wiggins Sent: Tuesday, August 28, 2007 7:48 PM To: Utah Astronomy Subject: [Utah-astronomy] Re: The next total lunar eclipse 2-20-2008 Hi Kurt, Thanks for the correction (even though I'm guessing it was not intended as one). After reading your email it occurred to me that I have been saying the next total lunar visible from Utah will be in 2010. Duh! Doubly embarrassing that my own web site says the next one is next February's... humbled patrick p.s. I understand from Ann that parts of the interviews recorded at SPOC this morning will be part of NPR's "All Things Considered" tomorrow and Thurs. On 28 Aug 2007, at 11:33, Kurt Fisher wrote:
