CNN interview about a lunar eclipse

I was interviewed on CNN on January 20, 2000, about a total lunar eclipse that night. Note: I am neither a "NASA Astronomer" nor did I work at the "Goddard Space Station". :)

Makes you wonder about the accuracy of other things on CNN, doesn't it?

He is only mentioned in the interview as mild mannered Phil Plait, CNN not knowing of his super hero secret identity of BadAstronomerMan

I love it... multiple references to "NASA Astronomer..." This is why you don't believe everything you see and hear.

Not really, because greenhouse gases are more important to rising temperatures than dust pollution is.

I think he said, "If you're in Asia in July you can you catch it again, is that right?" So it sounded like "If you're an Asian," haha.

Did he say "If your an Asian"?? THATS FUCKING RACIEST, and it would be red... if it went past New York, lmao!! XD

[penitent2401]

the red of the moon is caused by pollution in the air, there hasn't been any big volcano eruptions lately. that's saying something about global warming.
