"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther

The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. ~Winston Churchill

A Lunar Eclipse Will Grace Colorado Skies Saturday Morning
April 3, 2015

DENVER (CBS4) – There will be a treat in the skies over Colorado in the early morning hours on April 4.

A partial lunar eclipse will be visible starting at 4:16 a.m. and peaking at 6 a.m. Saturday.

Jeff Tropeano with the Denver Astronomical Society says while it is a partial eclipse, for those in and around Denver, it will almost look like a total eclipse.
