Neptune in the Earths Shadow
Hi everyone, I was just tossing up a few objects to have a look at tonight, and finding them in my star programme on the PC. When I found neptune it shows it in Earths shadow for more or less the entire night tonight. What I was wondering is if this would be visible to some of the guys or gals with much larger scopes than mine? I think it would be very cool if my programm is correct and it was visible.
Sunday morning 17/08/08 @ 2.00am EST, it actually enters the shadow again. This should be visible as it darkens I would presume. Anyway just thought it would be interesting to see and thought others might find it so also.
