Got it marked on my calendar now. Thanks for the heads up.
Not to be confused with Moon Bloodgood
Now I just have to convince people they need to use welding goggles or their leftover solar eclipse glasses to watch it.
Dramatic
Been there done it.
Like watching paint dry.

IIRC-—THE CURRENT CR expires on 3-14.
Ping
Isn’t that caused by the sun coming between the earth and the moon? ;-D
The first total lunar eclipse I can remember was when I was around 12. I had just been inducted into the Order of the Arrow, the Boy Scouts honor service fraternity. We had just gotten back from the “ordeal“ camp out, and the eclipse was beginning. I stayed up until two in the morning watching it.

It’s not just π Day... Purim time is here:

And for those who wheely love numbers
1314 = the “United States”: אַרצוֹת הַבְּרִית
Furthermore, the star of the Purim show is Esther, whose name means star, and “I will hide”, which is the basic concept of an eclipse.
Waxing and waning and waxing again, the Moon is symbolic of the Kingdom of David.

Hiddenness
Hiddenness and revelation are at the very foundation of the Book of Esther and the celebration of Purim. Indeed, Esther’s name itself is from the Hebrew root s-t-r meaning hidden. Furthermore, Esther is not called a “Book” but is more precisely referred to as “The Scroll of Esther” or Megillat Esther. Hidden in the word megillah is the root g-l-h that means “to reveal” and also “to exile.”
Megillat Esther could then be translated as “The Revealing of the Hidden” or, alternatively, “The Exiling of the Hidden.” Thus, the title of the story presages one of its central themes.[23]

Esther = 661, the 11th star number. (The 10th is 541, “Israel”.)
The “lower” 48:
A Star of David is formed by 12 triangular numbers + 1 for the center dot.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_number#Relationships_to_other_kinds_of_numbers
There’s one Hebrew letter in the form of a triangle, the Paleo Hebrew dalet, related to the Greek delta Δ.
Dalet or delta, the letter value is 4.
Meaning: “door”, entrance, gate.
Ergo, a Star of David — the name is spelled dalet vav (”and”) dalet — of 12 triangles of “4” = 48, with the little door left open in the middle.
Now, 4 is not a triangular number, so 48 is a star number that’s not a star number that is a star number because:
48 transcends (eclipses) the normal star number definition not only as explained above, but that 48 = kokav [כוכב] IS the word “star”.
It’s all integrated. 12 Δs united.
Perchance someone should point out that a Star of David is really a Magen (מגן shield) of David, that would be great because magen = 93 = “Ha-Megillah” (the common name for the Book of Esther, as simply “The Scroll”).
One for one, an even exchange kind of like an eye for an eye, progress:
“The digital root of a star number is always 1 or 4, and progresses in the sequence 1, 4, 1. The last two digits of a star number in base 10 are always 01, 13, 21, 33, 37, 41, 53, 61, 73, 81,
or 93.”
The 93 “Ha-Megillah” highway so to speak, where people dig for hidden treasure, or dig big to hide the route underground:
The Big Dig was a megaproject in Boston that rerouted the then elevated Central Artery of Interstate 93 that cut across Boston into the O’Neill Tunnel and built the Ted Williams Tunnel to extend Interstate 90 to Logan International Airport. Those two projects were the origin of the official name, the Central Artery/Tunnel Project (CA/T Project).

You might have to zoom in a smidge to see the place name OY-Star House.
