Watch for this tomorrow.....

A total eclipse of the moon will be visible throughout all of North and Central America on Tuesday morning, the first such eclipse in almost three years.

Weather permitting, observers will begin seeing the moon enter the Earth’s inner shadow, or umbra, at 1:33 a.m. which appears as a red-brown shadow creeping across the bright moon.

Who, me?

Hey Bob that is cool. It is supposed to be that kind of moon tonight but looking at yours, I guess I will stay up to see it. woo hoo.

Thanks, molly.

I'm what happens if a person watches way too much comedy...

Back in high school (when dinosaurs roamed the earth) my World History teacher told me, "Bob, there's only one top banana in this class - and it's not you!" That only made me work harder at it.

Cool that it's going to be visible on this side of the earth. Not cool is that it is going to be pouring down rain and cloudy here.

Wiki's time table.

For a second I thought I missed it. I think I've seen maybe 3-4 lunar eclipse's so far, maybe more, but I remember 3. idk why but lunar eclipse's from where I live at, all the violence stops, and it's peaceful so I can't wait.

this is going to be awesome ive only seen one but looks like ill be up for most of the night to see it...

would it be bad to look at it through a telescope????

I heard it only happens every 350+ years (this particular orbit). =)

should start in about one hour

and rod last time we got a lunar eclipse on the winter solstice was 372 years ago in 1638. haha thats awhile back...

No. What you are looking at is light reflected back from the surface of the moon, like normal. It is just dimmed by the earth's shadow and reddened by the sunlight passing through and being refracted by earth's atmosphere, just like our sunrises and sunsets.

I've been out to look a couple of times myself but we have thin high-altitude overcast that occasionally breaks, plus it is 19 degrees here in Ohio with a light wind making it about 11-12 degrees. Brr! But glad I could see as much of it as I am.

i just went outside to look at it and its too cloudy here. =\

I saw it, it was pretty cool, nice and peaceful, I had to go outside to see it though, and it was only 30 degrees which its a lot warmer then what it's been.

I heard those guys over in New York got a beautiful view. =)
That's okay i wanted to get a picture of it, but i settled for watching it on the news.

I got up at 3am local to check it out but it was completely overcast here

I tried getting a picture, but it was to dark, and my screen was completely black (I hate the camera on my cell phone)

I'm in New York. All I got was cloud cover so thick I couldn't even see a reflection. An hour before it was clear.
Major disappointment. We all could have had a lot of fun with those photos.

IM SO MAd... i didnt even see it where im at......

Am I the only one so far that got a good view in Rockford, Illinois???
