That’ll be some spectacle, along with Mars being its closest to Earth in, what, 1,000 years at the same time.....

I’m out in the country and the coyotes are howling up a storm. They really seem to be reacting to the eclipse.
To: wideminded
I think I will get up and out a bit more earlier than normal, it should reach full eclipse for me here in Wasilla, Alaska in one more hour, yesterday was a really nice minimal cloudy day in the afternoon with the temps in the mid 60’s so it should be good viewing.

Nice pictures. I went out to the back yard and was pleased to be able to see it clearly. Beautiful. The moon looks orange-ish.

I just saw it here in Sacramento, CA and it looks amazing to have the Moon almost completely dark except for a dark reddish glow on the surface.

Great Night here on the Left Coast for viewing this.

I don’t recall seeing such a redish orange glow in past eclipses I’ve seen.
Am I just remembering poorly?

That’s because of the light refraction through the atmosphere of Earth that we get the reddish glow on the Moon. If Earth had no atmosphere the Moon would have gone nearly completely dark. (By the way, the Moon has sometimes gone nearly black during a lunar eclipse in the past if there was a lot of dust in the atmosphere caused by things like a major volcanic eruption.)
To: RayChuang88
Thanks much.
I think I understand the part the atmosphere plays . . . similar to the harvest moon effect in terms of color, right???
But why does this one seem reader, more colored, than my memory of past such eclipses??
My memory or something different in the atmosphere?
