He covers all the camera options that the game has, and I learned loads about the modes from his video.

If you have the time it's worth watching pro-photographer Eric Adams using Flight Sim's cameras to plan out shots. Under the right weather conditions, and with the correct camera settings, you can see eclipses and the Milky Way, and you'll never have to worry about those fluffy jerks photobombing the Big Dipper. But there's a solution! Microsoft Flight Simulator has more than just planes in the sky. I love the sky, and though I've seen a lot of it since moving back here, getting a cloud-free night is a huge challenge. The moon sets at 5:26 a.m.įor those who may want to catch it and may have clouds, you can always watch it online through the Virtual Telescope Project, or with the Lowell Telescope's YouTube channel.The sky is full of wonder, but as someone who lives in Scotland, I can also tell you its full of stupid clouds.

Winnipeg: The partial phase begins at 4:44 a.m.For those Ontarians, the moon will be low on the horizon and look like a sliver is missing from it. For those in the east, the moon will be below the horizon.įor those in Manitoba and to the west (also including the Northwest Territories), you'll get a better view than those in parts of central Ontario will. ET, but it's likely you'll barely notice it. The moon enters the penumbra at 8:47 UTC (co-ordinated universal time, which is used for all astronomical events), or 4:47 a.m. Here's what to look forward to in space for 2021.In this case, May's moon is the "flower moon" due to the time of year when flowers begin to bloom.Īnd finally, the "blood moon" refers to the colour a moon can turn during totality, or when it is entirely in Earth's shadow.

Second, each month's full moon is given a name by Farmer's Almanac. (It's not a term used by astronomers, though many have opted to use it in outreach.) To the naked eye, it will be difficult to see the size difference between an average full moon and this one. A "super moon" refers to a full moon that is closest to Earth in its monthly orbit. This eclipse is dubbed the "super flower blood moon" eclipse by some, and here's why.įirst, it's a "super moon," a term that has gained popularity over the past decade. The only problem is that totality isn't visible across the entire country, and you'll have to be up very early in the morning to catch it with a good view of the western horizon as the eclipse begins as the moon is setting. On Wednesday, the moon will glide through Earth's shadow, giving us the only total lunar eclipse of the year and the first one since January 2019.
