Was at an “Eclipse Party” once. During totality the moon was totally gone from sight, no ‘earth shine’. One attendee suggested, “Someone should get a picture of that.”

If that’s a lunar eclipse, then a solar eclipse must be when the sun passes between the earth and the moon.

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.

Awfully busy this morning. Venus rising through the clouds. Eclipse setting. Meteors. Coffee. Roosters. CHAOS!

I watched the whole thing from my back porch this morning while I enjoyed some Columbian. (Coffee, not weed.) Life’s to the point now that I can enjoy some of the things I used to be too busy to worry about.

Just setting the alarm clock for 2AM was a sign of worse things happening to my experience. I starting hoping around midnight it would be foggy in Eureka so I could sleep through it but no such luck.

I dressed and grabbed my camera and went out on the deck to see it had already started. Another thing I had noticed around midnight was the moon was not illuminating the yard and neighbors pasture as brightly as the night before?

In spite of being coached by Glock on the settings on my new D80 Nikon my 60 years of exposure to all things mechanical I failed Glock and I failed my camera.

I finally put down the D80 and grabbed my 10 X 42 binoc and enjoyed the event fully because I knew someone like WSGilcrest would capture the moment.

Had a great full eclipse of the moon here last night on Maui. Between midnight and one AM was just fabulous. While I was out there I showed my daughter Andromeda Galaxy.

The next total lunar eclipse occurs Feb. 21, 2008, and will be visible from the Americas, Europe and Asia.

Watch for this one. The Shuttle returns on Wednesday, then the eclipse, then they shoot up the satellite, or some order similar to that. Of course if Russia is bombing Kosovo we might forget to watch the eclipse.
