Anybody else waking up extra early tomorrow (Oct 8) to check out the lunar eclipse?

My daughter informed me that she needed to get to bed early tonight so that I could wake her up at 5:15 am CST in the morning to check this out.

Seriously? Whats with that -- cant they do a lunar eclipse at a more respectable time like late afternoon... :D

 

My wife and son said they will wake up with me to watch the eclipse at 5 AM -- I asked them to take a picture... :D

I can't wait for March 20th!

Fucking need to find me some eclipse glasses.

Apparently the moon will cover about 66% of the sun where I am in france.

It won't be as awesome as the full eclipse of 1999.

I remember it very well and it was amazing.

My UK colleague who's also an amateur astrologist and lives in Cumbria, sent me this pic earlier this week. Lucky b@st@rd :)

As for the yesterday's solar eclipse, apart from a small banana shaped sun and a bit less sunshine, it wasn't exactly the most inspiring experience tbh ....

Well, that is because it is ... Whitehaven :D

 

Haven't been there yet, but heard plenty of stories and saw a lot of pics by now. Definitely on the TO DO list !

100% cloud coverage here in France...

Got a beautiful grey sky instead of an ugly ass eclipse...

 

Same here, Fido.

 

Got somewhat lucky and managed to get a peek when driving to work. Tbh, you did not miss much. Just a little bit darker then usual and a banana shaped sun, just like a crescent moon, only a bit brighter and during day time.

and the aurora borealis is just a 'wrong coloured sky', right?

(I was all set for the eclipse, but the moon got in the way and ruined it.)
