Is anyone watching this tonight? Should be really cool! It's clear here and we're just starting to see the shadow creeping up the side of the moon!
 
Very cool indeed. I just stepped outside and it was very cold.

In the Pacific NW the moon is still low on the horizon. The trees all around is hiding this event. I can see light, but not the action. I'll keep checking though until it gets higher and then maybe in-between the trees I just might be able to. Wish me luck.

Yep it is awesome I let the kids stay up to watch. I wish I had a telescope. I think it will be a gift for Christmas. There is going to be a Solar Eclipse in August Can't wait.

Just looked and was disappointed it wasn't "an eerie shade of red" like the local weatherman said it would be. But I'll keep checking.
 
I saw the beginning, unfortunately for us where we live, there's a storm coming in and the clouds have now covered the eclipse. Oh well, at least I got to see the start - that was cool especially with the big ole moon low on the horizon!

Okay, I checked again and it DOES, indeed, have an "eerie red glow." Coooool.
 
That was cool, I watched on the beach, listening to drummers at a drum circle. Someone also had a telescope set up, I took a peak and saw craters on the moon as well as Saturn and its rings and some of its moons.
 
At 8:30, the moon was shining and the sky was clear. At 8:45 the clouds rolled in and I couldn't see a thing for the rest of the eclipse. Dang!
 
Hey Shelley :) We couldn't have asked for better conditions for the eclipse hey? It looked completely 'other wordly' at 10:00, made me wonder if that's what the moons look like in Narnia. I love that stuff, it made an otherwise low key Wednesday night into an event.
