Solstice Total Lunar Eclipse Tonight

[JiNX-01]

It will be visible after midnight EST. It's the first soltice total eclipse since 1638 and only the second since the beginning of the Common Era.

I wish I can see it but it's been cloudy and gray for the last 2 weeks. I doubt that is going to change tonight.

Methinks the big snowstorm is going to hamper visibility.

I'll be crossing my fingers because I live in upstate New York's snow belt. I think we've had one day in the last 10 when it hasn't snowed. I can hardly wait for Lake Ontario to freeze over.

I wish I were able to see it, but we seem to be as cloudy in the middle of the country as you guys on the coasts are.

Yes it is....

I have a beautiful view. Full moon at the zenith not a cloud in sight

yeah the view is nearly perfect here from nyc, I read that the very best moments of this eclipse will be starting at 317am est. couple of clouds floating by but they are not yet hampering my veiwing

 

[tomalak301]

It's actually clear tonight here. I'm shocked and excited at the same time.

Hehe, I tried to take a picture and my crappy camera was like 'what moon? there is no moon!'

Here in VA there are some very thin clouds that are obscuring most of the stars, but I can make out where the moon is supposed to be.

I am watching the shit out of this eclipse. Great show!

 

[tomalak301]

Anyone see any shooting stars? That makes the show even better.

 

[mimic]

I can only see 5-6 stars thanks to the cloud/haze thing we have going on here.

I took this picture about 30 minutes ago.

A couple days out the year, I wish I had a telescope. Alas, just a 200mm zoom lens.

I can see it very clearly here. I am in Central Northern Ontario (Canada). Not a cloud in site and meteor shower is pretty cool too.
Unfortunately, my camera don't work very good for taking pics of the moon. Also, the eclipsed moon was a orangy colour too. Weird!

Happy Winter Solstice everybody.

Clouds cleared for a bit, so I did get a good look.

 

[the skullcowboy]

yeah I wish I had been in a darker area to better see it fully but it was nice and a bit eerie at the same time, now for some hot chocolate to warm me up, neighbor had her stupid motion light on so instead of enjoying it from my yard i walked down to the park which was darker than my street, however it was also windy and a bit chilly,but that is what they make brandy for isn't it lol( and before everyone jumps on that yes I have seen that mythbusters episode disproving that )
