and guess what; it's CLOUDY.

I've been waiting for this all week, hoping the weatherman would decide he was wrong, and maybe he will be, but it doesn't look like it :(

Oh :skull::skull::skull::skull:, I forgot that was tonight. I am glad you reminded me! It's viewable over the entirety of the continental US, I believe. Not sure how much more than that.

Yes, please. Much appreciated.

EDIT: If you had a time machine, or if you saw it already, sure. I can can see it, because the storm ended, but I missed the main part (that is, the obscurity).

FURTHER: I'm an idiot. It starts at 10, where I live (East Coast).

I just went out and saw it! I got really lucky with the weather and it was super clear. I cupped it in my hands and stuffed it in my pocket. :heart:

I just saw it a minute ago. It's cloudy, but they're moving a lot so I got some good looks at it. :P

I tried with my phone and then a digital camera and it wouldn't show up. I had it in focus, and it's all orange n' stuff, then when I took the picture it's all the sudden gone. I took like 50 and got nothing ;_;

I need better equipment or something.

Blargley. I checked it out but all I saw was a normal-looking 3/4 moon.

I had a clear view of it for most of it, but by the end the clouds started covering it. I saw it at its peak, which was the number one priority. Looked great :}

It is difficult to obtain pictures of celestial bodies without utilizing special cameras or equipment.

The lunar eclipse is certainly a mystifying event, but I have seen eclipses before and I only need to know that they are coming to get my experience from it.

I dreamt I saw it and it was probably more spectacular than anything you guys have ever seen in the sky (barring drugs and dreams).
