[Ansteorra] Blood Moon Wednesday

[Galen of Ockham, OP via Ansteorra]

My post last week on the ill omens for Their Majesties reign was based 
on a lunar eclipse that will occur early tomorrow morning. The eclipse 
technically starts at 3:45 am CDT, but you really won't be able to see 
anything happening until 4:15. The Earth's shadow completely engulfs the 
Moon at 5:25 giving it a dusky red appearance. Totality lasts until 
6:24, and the Moon completely leaves the shadow at 7:34 am, pretty close 
to sunrise. Eclipses were typically seen as an ill omen, though not as 
much fuss came from a lunar eclipse as there was from a total solar 
eclipse. (There will be a partial solar eclipse on the 23rd: more on 
that as it draws closer)

I still fear for their Majesties' reign, as the signs do point to an end 
to their time on the Stellar Thrones - especially the sign I see in the 
Kingdom Calendar that says "Coronation, Oct 11"
