Eclipse of the moon

I hope everyone's taking the time to watch it as it's happening right now!

Very cool. I'm hoping that we'll get a blood moon!

  2. Yup, I saw the whole thing! Right from the first 'bite' to the red moon now. Took some photos, but they'll probably be rubbish.

  3. KG, that's a pity. It's currently the colour of washed out blood from here. I thought at first I wouldn't get to see it for long as some big clouds covered it, but they're mostly blowing across the sky just below it.

  5. Thanks, Fletch, for the pictures!

    Oh good, KG, I'm glad you got to see it!

  6. MrsTips, our eldest son and I stayed up far too late watching it. I'm off to buy a telescope now, I'm hooked!

  7. I love events such as this. I woke Miss 9 and took her out on the cold windy deck to see the Luna-Rosa.

    This morning she berated me for not waking her up. She could not remember being woken, wrapped in a blanket and carried outside.

    Maybe she will have a deja vue moment in seven years???

  8. Compared to the brilliant disc I though the darkened moon had a 3D floating effect and a heightened sense of distance and space.

  9. It reminded me of someone holding an egg up to a lightbulb :)
