GA Russell Posted February 20, 2008 Report Posted February 20, 2008 Here's an article from Reuters that says that the moon will turn red tonight at 10:00 pm eastern if the atmospheric conditions are right. An article in our local paper Monday said that the midpoint of the eclipse will be at 10:26 pm eastern. http://uk.reuters.com/article/domesticNews...028499420080220 Quote
RDK Posted February 20, 2008 Report Posted February 20, 2008 I would normally have a perfect view of this (7 pm west coast time) from my living room window, but wouldn't you know it the skies are dark with rain clouds. Quote
vajerzy Posted February 21, 2008 Report Posted February 21, 2008 It's cloudy here and started snowing a little while ago... Quote
Uncle Skid Posted February 21, 2008 Report Posted February 21, 2008 A cold, clear, and crisp night here. Took this picture right outside my front door. Quote
Free For All Posted February 21, 2008 Report Posted February 21, 2008 Very clear here. Just a tiny sliver of lit moon, the rest seems to be in a red shadow. Quote
Joe G Posted February 21, 2008 Report Posted February 21, 2008 Just got out of rehearsal and there it was. Perfectly lovely. Almost mystical. Quote
Christiern Posted February 21, 2008 Report Posted February 21, 2008 Good view from my windows, a bit cloudy, but thin. Quote
GA Russell Posted February 21, 2008 Author Report Posted February 21, 2008 Dang! Too cloudy here. Can't find the moon in the sky. Quote
Free For All Posted February 21, 2008 Report Posted February 21, 2008 Wow, it's VERY red now and very "otherworldly" looking. Weird, wild stuff...... Quote
Free For All Posted February 21, 2008 Report Posted February 21, 2008 Mostly lit moon now, with a hint of the eclipse effect. It was a cool event fo sho. Quote
Tim McG Posted February 21, 2008 Report Posted February 21, 2008 It was way cool. My daughter, the future scientist [all of 12], thought so too Quote
sidewinder Posted February 21, 2008 Report Posted February 21, 2008 Total cloud cover over here. Non-event. Quote
RDK Posted February 21, 2008 Report Posted February 21, 2008 Clouds cleared up for most of it. Perfect view! Quote
Jazzmoose Posted February 21, 2008 Report Posted February 21, 2008 It was interesting; the moon looked like some other planet in an SF movie. But it sure didn't seem darkened like I've seen in "full eclipses" before. Maybe the paper here got it wrong? Quote
Joe G Posted February 21, 2008 Report Posted February 21, 2008 It was interesting; the moon looked like some other planet in an SF movie. The Planet From Outer Space! Quote
BruceH Posted February 21, 2008 Report Posted February 21, 2008 I saw it! Part of the moon was in hazy shadow and the rest looked sort of orange-pink. Quote
