lunar eclipse
The lunar eclipse tonight is pretty cool. We have a telescope, and my little brothers and my dad have been spending most of the past hour or two outside looking at it. It's a full eclipse right now. You can make out the moon a little bit still. It was coolest when there was just a sliver with light still shining on it - the rest of the moon was reddish.

Binoculars are good, too -- even naked eye veiwing is fine with events like this.

It's bright enough to see from inside a darkened room, if you don't want to brave the cold, and it's not done yet, so...

THERE'S NO EXCUSE!!!

Go look now!

I watched it through my birding scope.
Viewing conditions were excellent, with full eclipse at 2 AM.

I was walking home, and I saw it, and was freaking out because I didn't know there was supposed to be one.

Watched it, I knew it was to come as my astronomy teacher told me about it this friday...
Still the moon looked brownish rather than red to me, might've been the many clouds though.
