Well, I plan to go out and look up at a pile of rain clouds.........or maybe I'll just stay in the house where it's dry.

Supposed to get almost full coverage here at 10:30 est

10:25. 
 

Moon rose full, now the earth's shadow is covering at least 2/3s, angling up from about 8 o'clock on the lunar disc.

 

Remarkably clear tonight in Springfield. MO.  Beautiful!

Well, I'll be dipped.  I went out to see what my dog was barking about.  I hadn't been out side in a couple of hours and the sky had cleared and there she was:   a pinkish slice of the moon, maybe 25% of the top of it.  Interesting but really quite anti-climatic.  I've seen some before, a couple of full eclipses, and three solar eclipses.

 

Perseid meteor showers and aurora borealis are a better show, and sunsets and rainbows are the best.

 

The Big Rock Candy Mountain in southern Utah is great too...if you catch it after a rain storm and the sun is just right.   Otherwise it's just a pile of dirt and rock.

 

And a full moon on a really clear night over a snow-covered valley in the Rocky Mountains can be the most peaceful and beautiful scene you can imagine.

 

The Sonoran Desert at sunset, sunrise, under a full moon, or after a rain is an eye-popper, too.

 

Y'all know what?  God gets downright artistic every now and again.  You simply have to go out and look.  Get up from your TV or computer, take a ride out side the air and / or light pollution area, day or night, and sit back, relax, and enjoy.  Take a friend or lover, your kids or a group of any little kids, even the family dog and turn off the damned computers, TVs, radios, and all that other man-made crap off and LOOK!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sure wish my wife was still here to enjoy it all.

I could only see a sliver of the moon because it was covered by clouds. It also rained sometime around 1:am😡

[Subdeacon Joe]

Overcast. As usual. 

[Eyesa Horg]

Clouds so heavy here you couldn't even see where the moon was at 23 hundred.

[WOLFY]

... Mother Nature hates to see us enjoy ourselves up here ...

I’d had a pretty rough day yesterday and had cashed out for the evening.

 

Hatfield said it was pretty good! Almost total here with only a pink sliver of our natural satellite visible at the height of the event.
