[Leica] Oct 8, 2014 Total Lunar Eclipse with added selenelion

[Mark Rabiner]

A third thing I just ascertained is
6:59am is the sunrise. 8 minutes after the point of the full moon. And in
the middle of the blood moon Eclipse.
" On Oct. 8, Interested skywatchers should attempt to see the total eclipse
of the moon and the rising sun simultaneously. The little-used name for this
effect is called a "selenelion," a phenomenon that celestial geometry says
cannot happen."
