Update, 2:25am: Cowabunga, you can start to see it now! Send in any photos you take of the eclipse, people gazing skywards, eclipse parties… or whatever you crazy kids do during a lunar eclipse to tips@bwog.com!
You should definitely go out tonight! In an educational way duh! Take a break from napping studying in Butler and join redShift and the Columbia Astronomy Department on college walk to watch the total lunar eclipse from 1:30-4am! It could be an evil omen, or it could just mean free hot chocolate and telescopes to watch the sky with.
To all you intrepid explorers, head to the roof of SIPA for sweeping views. A couple months ago they starting locking the doors (womp womp), but we trust you’re stealth enough to find a way. Plus, it’s one more thing to check off your bucket list. Now go forth and bask in the glory of the heavens!

@--- cowabunga!
@TURN AROUND BRIGHT EYYYEESSSSS! sounds like a dance party needs to start right now. get on it people. happy times.
@redShift it’s gonna be pretty awesome. we’ll come through butler right before to remind everyone!
@Primal scream tonight take 2. Not everyone showed up last night. Let’s make this one count guys.
@Anonymous Please god, no. The locals will think it’s the actual end of the world. We’d have a War of the Worlds situation to deal with on top of finals.
@OR. watch from the roof of the northwest science building. no locks, no alarms. however, slippery footing and a suspiciously insufficient railing, soooo at your own risk, kiddies.
@Anonymous actually there’s an officer downstairs. might be tricky…
@nah there’s always an officer downstairs, usually 2 or 3! I rolled in at like midnight once and they just asked us to flash our cuids. they were pretty friendly, just assumed that we were excited to see the new building (hint: we were. it’s beautiful in there).
@Anonymous They now have a list of people who are allowed for 24/7 access, but they don’t all check it.
@Anonymous A+ for the title of the post
@bwepressed At least tonight I have an excuse not to cry from the hours of 1 to 4AM. It’s good to not be alone sometimes.
@a little clueless *squish*

@Anonymous Bright side: if we all die tonight, they’ll *have to* postpone Mowshowitz’s Bio final!
@Whoa! I thought we all had two more years! Should I even bother studying for my finals tomorrow?!?
@the last lunar eclipse visible from nyc until 2014. Meaning the last lunar eclipse anyone will ever see from NYC.
@CC 13 Whoever titled this post… Turn around…
@Ahhh! Every now and then I get a little bit lonely and you’re never coming round.
@Concerned Wait, does this mean the world is going to end tonight? But I can’t die a virgin!
