Watching the best of the lunar eclipse
The total lunar eclipse of March 13 – 14, 2025 did not disappoint! We resolved to capture images from the late partial eclipse to maximum eclipse, mostly to be able to fit in a little sleep! Catching it all, which we could from our North America location, would have required, essentially, an all-night session. Just a bit too much!
Early partial eclipse. The brighter shadow within the penumbra lights the top portion of this image. Note a bit of reddish tone within the dark umbra. 2:08 AM EDTI sat on a pad over the paved surface where in the cold, where the observatory is to eventually stand. The old telescope mount ticking away as it tracked the moon across the sky. Occasionally geese and ducks on the nearby pond called out against some unseen disturbance. The stars of Great Orion were sinking behind nearby trees.
Moon is deep within the umbra and last penumbra light about to be left behind. 2:19 AM EDTIn the otherwise quiet chill, I watched the lunar transition, from a bright sliver left over from the night’s Full Moon, to glowing copper orb. With a cable release I manually triggered the camera’s shutter: click — pause — click, to record the event.
Maximum eclipse. Moon is fully within the umbra but because it is not traveling through the center of Earth’s deepest shadow, scattered light from the penumbra brightens the upper limb. 2:58 AM EDTShortly after maximum eclipse (shown above), at 2:58 AM EDT, I shut down the telescope and, casting a wistful eye at the still-darkened Moon, went indoors. I fed the waiting cat, changed back to pajamas, and returned to bed. In fitful sleep, somehow still cold, happy to have sacrificed rest for the experienced phenomenon.

And there it is! A total lunar eclipse from Baltimore, Maryland.
If you were standing on the near side of the Moon right now, you would see the Earth eclipsing the Sun, and see all of the sunsets and sunrises on Earth simultaneously.
And almost as if on cue, the clouds rolled up at my place right before totality. Still a good show! #astronomy #TotalLunarEclipse
I got lucky! Surprisingly, the sky was clear this morning, so I was able to see the beginning of the partial phase of this total lunar eclipse as the moon was setting.
y’all the moon is hiding
So it begins ...
The partial lunar eclipse from Baltimore, Maryland.
Krononaut Moon (minus a few hours) over Edmondson Ave. The #TotalLunarEclipse is almost here. The Night of the Krononaut Moon is the Night we connect with the #TimeTravelers, and with our #past & #future #selves.

TONIGHT IS THE NIGHT OF THE KRONONAUT MOON
THE NIGHT FOR MAKING CONTACT WITH TIME TRAVELERS
(apologies for the all-caps) In spite of the #reality of the #freeworld in #chaos at this moment, #scientific, #artistic & #spiritual progress must go on. Please share #FullMoon #photos, before & after the #TotalLunarEclipse, noting any #anomalous #phenomena, like #UFOs or #UAP.

Happy #Valentine's Day from @KronoMoonPhotos & @KronoMoon!
We are exactly 1 #Gregorian #month away from #March's #FullMoon — the #WormMoon, the #TotalLunarEclipse, and the #Night of the #KrononautMoon — when we attempt to make contact with #TimeTravelers.
There have been such attempts in the past, but this time will be the first ever #global #decentralized effort. We call this type of event version 2.0, or what one might call the #Fediversion!
#TimeTravelers are invited to visit or send a #quantum #signal to us on the night of the #Total #Lunar #Eclipse. #2025Mar14 will be the first of 3 #TLEs in the next year. Everyone, your friends, family, colleagues, #pets, and of course your #sweetheart are invited to participate however you like. Just venture out under the #Moon on Thursday &/or Friday night. #Fire up a #candle, a #bonfire, a #drumcircle or other greeting for #beings in the #beyond. Together we can become one with the #cosmos.
2 new #hashtags: #WelcomeTimeTravelers & #2025Mar14
Introducing a couple new #tags to help get us through March's #WormMoon and the #TotalLunarEclipse next month. That's the night when we are attempting to make contact with #TimeTravelers. All are invited to participate — meaning everyone in the #Fediverse & beyond — wherever you are.
@KronoMoon is grateful this week for many positive reactions to our project to try & contact #TimeTravelers. Warm thanks to all of you. The whole #Fediverse is invited to participate — either here or from the beyond — wherever you are.
Wednesday will be the last #FullMoon before the #TotalLunarEclipse on #2025Mar14. March's Full #Moon is the #Night of the #KrononautMoon. Please take lots of photos & share them with @KronoMoonPhotos.
#MoonOverMastodon #KronoWatch
The #KrononautMoon Project seeks to make contact with #TimeTravelers — i.e., extradimensional beings — by promoting decentralized community experiments during the #TotalLunarEclipse. There will be 3 #TLEclipses in the next 2 years. The first of the triad occurs next month on 2025 Mar 14, the night of the #FullMoon & March's #WormMoon. All are invited (even skeptics) to celebrate on Thursday or Friday evening under the stars — wherever you are.

@KronoMoon on #Mastodon shares toots, articles & videos on various sub-themes and sub-theories, because any theory of #TimeTravel is polydimensional, beyond our current technology, and incomplete. Often associated with #UFOs or #UAP, a real-life encounter with a #spacetime ship or a #TimeMachine is less likely than some kind of #quantum #signal. It's possible that such signals have been beaming toward us for a long time. Please take lots of #photos of the #Moon and share them with @KronoMoonPhotos, so that we can document any anomalous phenomena. The plan focuses on Lunar Eclipses that are "Total" (typically occurring about once per year) and not other types of Eclipses.
