Subj : Space Weather To : All From : Roger Nelson Date : Fri Oct 18 2013 12:36:49 Space Weather News for Oct. 18, 2013 http://spaceweather.com FAINT LUNAR ECLIPSE: On the night of Oct. 18th, the full Hunter's Moon will pass through the outskirts of Earth's shadow, producing a faint "penumbral" lunar eclipse. This is much less dramatic than a total lunar eclipse; nevertheless it should be easily visible to the naked eye as a dusky shading in the southern half of the Moon. The zone of visibility stretches from the eastern half of North America across Europe and Africa to western parts of Asia. Check http://spaceweather.com for maps and details. SOLAR FLARE ALERTS: Would you like a call when solar flares are underway? X-flare alerts are available from http://spaceweathertext.com (text) and http://spaceweatherphone.com (voice).
