Lunar Eclipse!

[Mr. SmartyPants]

Go outside now! Or something at night. Starting at like 11 pm i believe, the lunar eclipse will be at its peak! I checked right now (9:45 est) and its forming, and it looks relly pretty! you can see the clouds under all that darkness! So go look! Your next chance is in 2007! Take pictures of it as well!

Lucky you :/ I heard that it would be a "blood moon" but the thing is that it's FREEZING here, so totally covered with clouds! And not just any clouds, but snow-clouds! Mou... and I really wanted to see this red moon! Reminds me of Wolf's Rain. Well, if anyone sees any funky looking flowers....

[Golden_Griff]

I didn't know anything about this until today when I heard some classmates discussing it. I haven't been out yet but I bet it's quite a site

[Scribs]

I just went out and looked.

Wouldn't it be great if there was a red moon on the night that the Red socks win the World series....

Hmm...nope, it's cloudy here. I can't see a thing.

*Shrugs* Must be God's way of telling me that I suck.

Stupid clouds! But that sure sounds just a little pessimitic.... :/ I feel like I live in the tundra now (close enough!) never see the light of day during this season..... And I wanna see that moon!

[glitch1501]

its such a clear night here, the moon is beautiful, its almost to the half way point

Fortunately, the lunar eclipse began when we were in Astronomy class, so we looked at it through the telescope at the observatory. Our professor told us it was supposed to turn red first because of the penumbra, but that never happened =( I was really looking forward to that part. It's still interesting to watch, though.

[Destroyer2000]

It's not red, like you would think. It's more of a copper-ish color. The Eclipse is over now, by the way. That is, unless you wish to sit and watch it uneclipse.

[Mr. SmartyPants]

haha uneclipse

edit: i just looked at it right now and i did notice a slight red/copper tint to the moon

Ah your from the praries! Yeah I'm two provinces over to the west. (I feel your pain when it comes to trying to look outside at night!)

It's not red, like you would think. It's more of a copper-ish color.

I remember once sometime in late summer-early fall I seen the moon at a HUGE size and it was some shade of orange. The sun was setting at the time and it didn't eclipse.... would this be the so-called harvest moon? But seriously, it was HUGE!

Another time I remember with the youth camping trip and the moon was VERY bright. It was out the night before, but it was bright enough to see things quite clearly :/

The odd and mysterious moon....

Um, no.. actually it's red right now, also meaning it's not over yet. It's supposed to end around 11.

[Destroyer2000]

Um, no.. actually it's red right now, also meaning it's not over yet. It's supposed to end around 11.

What I meant was that it is not a very bright color. Not a bright neon red. It has a tint to it, yes. When I said the eclipse was over, I meant that the moon was completely eclipsed. It still has to move out of the earth's shadow, though.

[Yojimbo]

It's too cloudy outside right now.

[ShiroiHikari]

it was too cloudy here. :[

[Zero One]

the eclipse was soo cool, reminded me of Wolf's Rain, I shoulda pulled out my acoustic guitar and started playing one of the songs.

[HikariChan]

Thats so funny cause like when i was riding home with my dad i noticed it! It was very kewl!!

[Mave]

^_^;; Actually, I didn't really know much about this until I saw everyone talk about it here. So I ran out and lo behold, I see a moon that's slightly rust-brownish in color. It's pretty cool. XD

[Zero One]

I broke a string on my acoustic =( no wolf's rain music for me I can only listen to the OST and not play along, but the moon is still cool

[glitch1501]

awwwwwww no,
straaaaaaaaayyy
strrrrrrraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyy

[termyt]

It was a beautiful, clear night here and the eclipse was fabulous. I stayed up late to watch it, but now I'm tired at work!

[Arbre]

I saw it last night. Usually it's cloudy when I go to view eclipses, but last night was very clear.

It had a rust color sometimes, but it looked more brown than anything. It was blurry too. It wasn't a clean edge on the shadow. Still cool, though.

I couldn't get the digital camera to work for it. Oh, well. ^_^

[Scribs]

A Red moon for the Red Socks!

But seriously that was an impresinve moon, I got some video footage of it for my little brothers earth science class.

[Loche Achles]

Guess what!? In Raleigh, I saw a beautiful view....
OF SOME CUMULONIMBUS CLOUDS! dang! I missed another eclipse... stupid weather! hahaha

[Heart of Sword]

The one I saw was red. I filmed it.

[c-girl]

>^.^< The eclipse was so pretty! I walked outside and looked at it for a long time.

[Erin]

It was awsoem I had a perfect view of it from our deck! I took several pictures wich I can post as soon as my pics are developed.

[Dragon Master]
