Total eclipse (of the moon)

[blackdog~ 0]

All of you probably already know that there will be a total eclipse of the moon tonight, but I thought I'd post it here for you science freaks and stuff. I will set up a webcam for you all and post a link later if you missed it/can't see it where you are.

3 hours until approx start of it

Do I smell another server crash coming up?

A question by the astonomically/geographically challenged: will I be able to see it here in the southern hemisphere? I'm guessing not as it's daytime here at the moment...

[ralphwiggum 6]

Is this where the moon turns red  ?

How big  is the moon again because when its full moon and bright like tonighgt it  shine son the water like a massive torch but it looks a little small for the moon  

Can anyone  tell me how to  gegt a decent  picture of the moon,i can see it cleary with my own eyes but whenever i try to get a photo of it,it just looks like a bright dot  with none of the details  coming up

dammit looked out the window and stupid gay clouds are partially blocking the moon

Damed rained all day today ( In Niagara Falls). I don't think I can see it. Anyway, Acording to MSN, it can be seen right now on the eastern coast of the US to only snipers. It can also be seen in Europe too I think.

Edit: Also it will be seen in Africa. When it takes full circle, it will be seen by ALL South Americans.

After almost an hour of being disconnected, the webcam is back up! Go ahead and look because it is only one hour away!

Looks to me like it will be mainly a total eclipse of a palm tree  . Hmm, I totally forgot about this, I should have looked at the night sky when I got off work, but I just got home, I'm exhausted, can't see anything out my window and I'm sure as hell not going back out tonight so I'll have to console myself by remembering the great meteor showers I watched at my uncle's farm in Cuba (no city lights to ruin the view ).

Its raining all over he in Colorado, so I can't see the moon.

rained all nit here

Me and about 8 other guys from my dorm went outside to watch it, but I think we missed the best part of it. By the time we got out there, it was ending, and the moon was starting to shine again. But we did get out of the dorm after curfew, which is rare!

As for what we saw, it was neat, but I think it's a shame we missed most of it. I saw the moon early, here, about 8 local (central time), but I didn't look again until 10:20ish, and then 10:45. blackdog~, is your video real time, or did you do time-lapse?
