For anyone who's interested in astronamy, there will be a total eclipse tonight starting at about 6 EST.  Total coverage of the moon will be from about 8 to 8:30 EST.

I liaten to a talk radio show most nights so I'm pretty well up to date with the space stuff cuz the host is a space nut, as well as my physics professor and a really hot girl I know....Speaking of the eclipse I think that I'm gonna run out know and see what it looks like from here even though it's kinda cloudy...

For me, there are only a few clouds in the sky.  I'm lucky it didn't happen yesterday, when it was raining and stormy.  ;D  It's really looking red now.  Kinda scary.  ;)

Looks like it's just fading now. Almost forgot about it.

 Just watched the whole thing go down outside my livingroom window with a pair of binoculars, perfectly clear for once, of course when the big auroras were going down it rained for a week straight.
Still no linked images allowed around here Paz! Naughty...

Was outside during most of the eclipse, but since it was 20 degrees outside I finally came inside after over an hour and watched from inside.

was pretty cool!

I stayed up until just after 2 this morning to see it, and it was worth it. Clear skies here, and the moon a beautiful orange colour.
Only the second lunar eclipse I've ever seen. Lovely.
