Lunar eclipse NOW!!!

Get off the computer and go outside!

[Alas Babylon!]

66 degrees Fairenheit here in Alabama.

It is cloudy in my area. Dancing, shaking rattles and sacrificing a pullet did not clear the overcast skys. Many evil spirits are out tonight and overwhelmed my magic.

Your post made me remember my 14th birthday; I was on Catalina Island watching Halley's Comet.

I watched one of these about ten years ago from a harborside bar with a glass wall because as cold as it is tonight, it was down in the teens that night. I had people trying to tell me to turn around and check out the eclipse on the tube, so I told them to turn around. There, right over the WTC :( was the moon.

Have not seen the blue referenced in this thread, wondering why?

[Sweet_Sunflower29]

That's the night when the lights went out in Georgia
That's the night....

Oh wait...never mind.

Damn those wandering thoughts!

OH that sounds nice..... this past weekend we had our windows open here! It was gorgeous.......

It's funny, but the term "Indian Summer" had no significance for us in Texas.....the weather there was just hot and hotter......but here in the Mid-Atlantic (we're not the Northeast you know!), we actually had a brief cold spell in October, then an actual "Indian Summer" for almost 2 weeks where the temps reached the high 70's and it was beautiful.........then the bottom dropped out.......lol

Beautiful view here from below Mt. Rushmore. Clear sky and very cold. George Washington's right ear was slightly blocking my view for a bit.

Eat your hearts out. Warm, gorgeous night here on Florida's central gulf coast. Temperature in the 80's.

My patio is on my seawall, and I sat under my umbrella table watching the lunar show.

Pretty soon, neighbors started wandering over. One brought a good-sized telescope on a stand.

I brought out some wine coolers and a bottle of tropical rum punch I had bought when I was on the Freeper cruise in June.

You know the rest of the story.....parteeee!

Making me wish I was in Florida. Right now it is 24 degrees here.

[Senator Pardek]

Most awesome. I can see it crystal clear outside a window here.

[undergroundwarrior]

2040 hrs. The "Light" starts to make a return.

36 in NYC

[Consort]

We don't have a moon in my neighborhood.

[StriperSniper]

Making me wish I was in Florida. Right now it is 24 degrees here.

FLA sounds good to me too! But I guess I should be happy that instead of 24, I've got a whopping....37.6! ;-)

More pictures from Northern NJ:

Just before totality ~7:55 EST

Supposedly during totality ~8:25 EST

It doesn't really appear that the "southern" portion of the moon was ever totally eclipsed.
