See what I did there? Apparently Seth has decreed that I'm the poster of natural phenomenon like rainbooms and lunar eclipses. I'm totally okay with this.
According to an article from MSNBC, a very long lunar eclipse will be occurring this Wednesday, the 15th of June. Unfortunately due to the timing of the event, it will not be visible in North America, but the rest of the world should be able to see it.
I know what you're thinking... Cereal, this isn't pony-related at all! Well, guess what? June 15th is now Luna Day. Bam. Done. Problem solved.

When's Celestia day?
The day Cutie Mark Crusaders was aired?
I have no problems with this
June 15th isn't Luna Day you silly pony /)^3^(\
For the first time, stuff has gone completely in my favor on this trip to Europe. HA!
fuck yeah! luna day! IT BETTER BE A GREAT BANNER!
>Luna Day
Oh hell yes
Woohoo! Europe finally getting some sugar!
Shouldn't the winter solstice be Luna day?
Luna day? AWWW YEEAAAAA
I expect Luna related fanfics and drawings.
Also, it appears that we've decided to not celebrate increments of 1,000,000 pageviews anymore (a good idea, seeing as it's been maybe 6 days and we've already added another million.). Is it increments of 5,000,000 now?
Silly Cereal. Every day is Luna Day! /)^3^(\
Seriously though. Sucks to be an American Brony right now....
Don't forget Summer Sun celebration on 21 June!
Why the hay we are getting Luna Days?!
We should totally get Luna night, duh!
Winter Solstice is Luna day
Why are these things never visible from the US!? I am angry at nature right now!
@Narwhals' Bend
Yeah that's what I was thinking.
Woohoo Luna Day!
@ZAquanimus
I too was thinking this! I think that, since June 21st would be treated as three celebrations(Celestia Day/Summer Solstice/Summer Sun Celebration), then December 21st should, too!(Luna Day/Winter Solstice/...Winter Moon Celebration? That works.)
Wait, what about the Summer solstice?
@Atlas
The U.S. had a lunar eclipse in january.
Muhahaha! (Rarity Laugh)
We Europeans get something most American's don't for once. And it will be the best day ever as well!
Spanish user here, I will make sure to take pictures with my Eclipse photo cammera. Yes, I do have a photo cammera built in for Solar and Lunar eclipses.
Now I just have to find that bitch before Wednesday.
Awwwww yeah. Finally a benefit to being a west aussie :D
So my birthday is Luna day? Huh.
I think Luna day should be the Winter Solstice. The longest night of the year seems to fit better.
Yeah. There wont be another lunar eclipse visible from North America until 2014.
But we'll get a lot then.
One short one early in the year, a long one late in the year. Same thing for 2015.
@Anonymous Just wait till a solar eclipse comes. THEN it will be Celestia day. That's gonna be a blast, like april fools day only you have the WHOLE day to troll someone.
Stupid rest of the world. They get all the cool stuff. Like eclipses and early releases for pokemon.
So June 15th is Luna day every year? Even if there isn't a lunar eclipse?
The Winter solstice does seem a better choice for Lunar day.
Everyday should be Luna day! :D
Winter Solstice = Luna Day
Summer Solstice = Tro- er Celestia day
I think everypony would agree with this.
Luna Day?
Luna Night you mean! I'm celebrating that!
This requires fan art! Lots of Luna fan art! :p
Silly Cereal. This is obviously Celestia trolling. She is putting a shadow on Luna's beloved moon (see what she did there? :3)
Awww... Not even visible in Mexico... :(
>it will not be visible in North America
Well screw that, then.
''Not visible in North America''
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF-
My birthday is Luna day?
Luna is Superior goddess confirmed.
The Summer Sun Celebration (Summer Solstice) and the Winter Moon Celebration (Winter Solstice) are obvious guys!
This is just a Luna Is Awesome Day. Cereal just forgot the other two words in his rush. n.n
How should we celebrate?
I hate it when these things come along. I'm European, so I technically can see this but I live in Britain, and so the weather will be faultlessly terrible when it actually happens.
What I wouldn't give to be a pegasus just to beat the crap out of those clouds for all the awesome celestial phenomena they made me miss.
I'm European too but I live in Poland. In Wednesday will be rainy in my city but I believe I see this.
Glad i'm From Europe =)
Btw not pony related?! you kidding xD? We got a Moon Godess character in the ponies xD
Also i could turn everything into pony in 10 seconds flat if i wanted, remember The Lonely Astronaut? almost eveything fits with Ponies ;P
Maybe lunar eclipses should be like Nightmare moon related, at least I think it would be cool^^. Eternal Night!
Question for all Euro-bronies: Does anypony know when it will be visible in Austria/central europe? Moonrise, moonset, high in the sky, etc?
How shall we celebrate Luna day :D???
Banners, Excessive Artwork, Fan Fiction, Moon Cookies & Pies :D? Another CreepyPasta Luna game? lmao

>it will not be visible in North America
God damn it Hasbro, won't you let anything come to America?
@lesserpoet
If I'm not mistaken, the total eclipse will happen at 8:22PM Austria local time.
Be sure to get out there a little earlier than that though.
Should have went: I'm 0kay with this.
AWWW YEAH!
Thanks, Anon, I'll be sure to do just that...
so im in canada....i wont see it?
Luna Day should be when there's a solar eclipse, because that's when the moon blocks out the sun, WHO TOTALLY HAS IT COMING.
I am okay with this.
Can we just make every day Luna day?
So it should be making its peak around 8:20 pm. Perfect, I can watch it during my break at work. For once, I won't miss the good stuff because of work.
I can uhhh...I can still celebrate luna day right :D
Every Monday is Luna day.... Monday -> moon day -> Luna day ;).
And every Sunday is Celestia day
I'll have you know that this is the second of my eclipses this year. There was one at the beginning of the month, which I informed Seth of so as not to scare everypony, but that went unnoticed.
I swear, it's a thousand years ago all over again...
Great.
First, the moon being close to Earth is blocked by clouds, now this is gonna be blocked by whatever is blocking it.
Why does Luna mock us Americans so? T_T
"Every Monday is Luna day.... Monday -> moon day -> Luna day ;).
And every Sunday is Celestia day"
I am for this so freaking much. 0_0 Make it so Seth!
Luna Day marks the beginning of finals for me. Yay.
@Anonymous
The summer solstice is on June 21 (in the Northern Hemisphere, anyway) in a little over a week.
Luna-Night, as it were. *cough*. I APPROVE. The day after my prelims! I approve deeply. Perhaps I shall celebrate with a massive marathon.
*VERY IMPORTANT*
The eclipse will only be visible near the Indian Ocean and some parts of Europe and Asia. Use the following map for reference: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/88/Visibility_Lunar_Eclipse_2011-06-15.png
Luna Day/Night? I, for one will drink to that! :D
And I happen to have some wine left over! >:D
Oh cool. That's my birthday. Awesum. :L
It dont have to be a Luna day or whatnot, just let it be some "casual" visit from our favorite royal night ruller ;)
