lunar eclipse

[KathiCville]

Totally overcast here in Central VA. Last night, naturally, was totally clear. The clouds rolled in just in time to hide tonight's spectacle.........

[Pedal Wench]

I"ve got scattered clouds. But, I get glimpses that are stunning. It's about halfway covered right now!

[Starfish]

Ooooh...gorgeous right now! About 1/2 covered, and right now, still low enough in the sky for it to look HUGE!!

Kathi, Zen, QUICK!!! Come to Moonshine Mountain!!! Absolutely, perfectly clear and the moon (what's left of it) is amazing. Saturn is gorgeous - AWESOME!!

So....not all of the east coast is covered in clouds.....(if my poor digital camera could, I'd take a picture.....)

Clear and a great view from my bedroom balcony. Only about 1/8th exposed right now.

[KathiCville]

Oh, Jane, you're right! There's a big hole in the cloud cover (at least for the moment, LOL!) right where the moon is now (9:42 p.m.)......Verrrrrryyyyy cool!......

[IFjane]

got it!

[KathiCville]

Poifect pic, Jane! Sky seems to be clearing really fast here. It's sometimes hard to tell what's going on sky-wise here 'cause we've got so many big trees in my neighborhood.........

There was a little hole in the clouds and we caught a glimpse of a sliver of the moon just now, but you wouldn't guess it was in eclipse unless you'd already been informed.

It's all covered now, just a slight orangey glow.

[mimitabby]

oh, it's so beautiful, orangy golden with a star right above it and a star to the north! (which planets are they?)

It's clear here and there were loads of people and cars all up near the dog park where we could get a good view. I'm quite sure my camera took very poor pictures, but it was so nice to stand up there in the cold with the dogs and just watch nature be amazing. It's slightly orange, and fully covered. I can see it from the warmth of my zen den now. Yay! Time to make some dinner and keep an eye on that beauty.

We might get the chance to see the satellite that the Yanks are blowing out of the sky, too......I'll let you know if we see any of that!

Hugs and butterflies,

The skies cleared up exactly when we needed it. That *never* happens. I gotta go sacrifice a goat or a virgin or something....
Here's a couple of photos I took this evening. Hope you enjoy.

DH and I went outside last night to catch a bit of it. Brrrrr...clear and cold (especially when wearing only sweats and slippers!). I had forgotten about it until he mentioned it.
Popokui_Nui...that's a great picture. Is that hooked up to a telescope? DH mentioned being able to see the rings of Saturn with a good-ish tele (I remember we used to have a semi-decent one when I was a kid and could see them). Any pix of Saturn?

[uforgot]

It was clearly displayed in central Missouri. Beautiful!
