I don't want to be up all night, just get up and watch for a few minutes during the peak. When is that?

i have an orphan ready to sacrifice... you?

Why bother? Just look on the Internet tomorrow. People will have pics posted. They might be a little dark, but that's what a lunar eclipse looks like.

I swear, sometimes you guys do things the hard way.

EDIT: In case you forget, you can just look at this one. The one tonight will look roughly the same.

I think it's more about seeing it in person. I could google pictures of an eclipse right now if just seeing one was the case.

[oumartin]

Cloudy here in Bama.

It's about 1/3 across right now. Pretty cool to watch. Sometimes insomnia can actually pay off.

Did not see any pagans dancing naked.

[jumperstop]

If you go look now it has red glow.

[Chuck Bao]

No naked dancing pagans here...well, except for me.

It is unseasonably warm outside. The coyotes aren't singing to me tonight. I hope that I didn't scare them away.

Seriously, it is pretty cool to watch the earth's shadow slowly creep across the surface of the moon.

[ouwasp]

It is cool indeed. :cool:

Time for bed.

Zzzzz.....

[sooner59]

Pretty sweet. Red/brown tint.

[thecynic]

meh, I'll catch the next one.

PG, if you look closely, you'll see the dancing naked pagans. :D

[Veritas]

It was all cloudy here...and the cover was far too high to fly above or Mrs. V and I would have taken a plane up to check it out. :-/

[texaspokieokie]

i was outside @ 5:00 & it was all over.

well then you weren't in my neighborhood.

[Aldebaran]

It looked a lot like this (only a bit smaller with the nekkid eye).

I didn't know there was an eclipse last night. At about 1:45 or so momma let the dog out and she calls me out. She goes "check out the moon" So I look out the window and don't see **** - except a brazillion stars. She goes "no, you have to come outside and look straight up." So I did. Very small, but very groovy. Watched it a few minutes then went back to bed.

The End.

[jumperstop]

meh, I'll catch the next one.

Might have to wait a while. Last time there was a full lunar eclipse on the winter solstice was 1638.
