Yesterday I found an unlikely viewing spot in the parking lot of my local Ingles grocery, which has the best eastern horizon view I was able to find on short notice. Luckily for me I recently had dinner with a friend in the building next door to the Ingles, and by chance noticed that our seat by the window offered a rare prime horizon view of a golden and slowly rising full moon. Hell, if I’m hungry at six, I may even watch the moonrise over dinner.
I’ll head to my viewing spot a little after six hoping to catch the rising eclipsed moon before sunset. Moonrise in WNC is 6:18 PM. Sunset is 6:27 PM. What I’ll be able to see before sunset I honestly don’t know.
I’d like to issue a science-nerd challenge to the readers of this blog, one that I will take up as well. Can we all try to interest someone in watching the eclipse? A neighbor, a friend, a random redneck wondering why you are standing in the Ingles parking lot? For whatever reason, I find that most people don’t even know about eclipses. Most people don’t look to the sky. Tonight’s a good night to show wonders to the uninitiated.
Happy viewing, everyone!

Hey Jennifer,
Thanks for the reminder about the eclipse, Im just now headed over to Beacatcher mtn – we live in north asheville – to catch it.
You asked a few posts back what kinda scientist I am – I am a wildlife biologist, which really just means I like to walk through the woods and look at animals and there habitat – add some statistics and voila wildlife biology.
I currently work seasonally at the Great Smky Mtns Natl Park on the NC side at about 5000 feet. I start working again on April 2.
Currently, I’m enjoying unemployment by cooking a lot, knitting, spinning some yarn and learning to play the fiddle.
Enjoy the eclipse
Shelley
