Lunar Eclipse

Starscream · Post by **Starscream** » Sat Nov 08, 2003 7:49 pm

If you guys are living in the Western Hemisphere, go check out the moon RIGHT NOW. The coolest looking Lunar Eclipse is currently occluding about 3/4 of the moon as I type this; I'm gonna go check it out in about half an hour to see if we can scope out total occlusion. I have a few good shots, but unfortunately, the moonlight's glare is magnified, dwarfing the occlusion. I'll see if I can get some better ones once total occlusion occurs.

(I put this in Video Games?! Whoops ^^;; )

Dan: Sorry you missed it :( I'm guessing my announcement was only for people on the east coast then, huh?

Sorry for the confusion, all :(

I just watched the whole thing, it was very cool.

I had never seen a eclipse before.

I saw most of the eclipse. I watched from when it first started up to total darkness, but I didn't watch as it came out.

My family and I caught it ... we were watching it earlier tonight, just before the total eclipse. We were going out for my Dad's birthday, but there was a bit of a wait at the restaurant, so we watched it some more. It was about 2 minutes away from a total eclipse when we went inside. By the time we were done, it was about 1/3 back, and then I didn't watch it anymore.

We were really mad because we didn't get a chance to see the really good aurora borealis (from a big solar flare) ... it was really cloudy and snowing over the period when it was supposed to be really neat (it was a week or two ago). But, at least we had nice weather for this eclipse.

Was it available in Hawaii?

Well, there was one time in 2000 when I was back in Hong Kong and they said there was an eclipse. I was on the mini-bus then. But it was pouring and was cloudy! Plus, the tall buildings. Gah!

I tell you, there's no place except in high mountains in Hong Kong to see the stars and moons in all its glory. But in Hawaii, it's a different story.

Too bad I missed it.

I was camped out on the patio with my telescope. It was really cool and beautiful.

I really loved it! I was at Best Buy when it was almost done so I didn't see the whole thing, but that's ok. This was the second time in my life that I can remember seeing a Lunar Eclipse.

I saw it! It was beautiful! Then I started singing Lunar Silver Star Story's "Luna's Boat Song". Dunno why, just poped into my mind

I feel crazy now. Anywaz, it was beautiful! The only other time I've witnessed an eclipse was December 1999's solar eclipse.

I didn't see the December '99 eclipse, well, I saw it on the news, but I got to see this one, so I'm happy.
