LS1 GTOMy wife and I just went out (we're in San Diego) to check out the moon and just happened to also see the space station traveling overhead.

RHINOWSOYup, Penumbral eclipse just started, about 55 until the actual eclipse begins. Clear and cold, beautiful weather for it here!

Brianp90The wife and I just started watching. Nice and clear and 4 degrees.

Yep I'm, clouded out. Doubt there will be any break in clouds either.

ARmanJust starting, clear skies. Was just out playing in the snow with the fur baby. Will be going out off and on to check progress. It's 10° F here now, so I don't want to be outside very long, though the pup loves it.

gearhoundsOngoing here. With the snow cover, it’s one of those rare nights you could easily drive without headlights, it’s so bright. Cold and windy as can be though.

vthokyI've got a good view of it.
Dang! It's cold out here!
God bless America. January 20, 2019, 10:20 PM
IronbuttI've been going out & checking every 10 minutes or so. It's 8 degrees here with winds gusting to 35mph, so I don't stay out very long. It's starting to turn red around the edges of the eclipse now.

Jim ShugartIt's as cold as a brass bra here. I went out briefly and the dog looked at me like I had lost my little remaining cognitive function.
I might have stayed out for a solar eclipse, but ya don't have them at night, do you? Duhhhh...

preten2bHaving seen the whole moon and watch the changes over the last 1/2 hr it's interesting, but not spectacular yet.
About 75% covered now, but only a hint of red. I'll look one more time in about 20 min.

TMatsI think it worked!
Not enough people were watching lunar eclipses, so they decided to give this one a really cool name, The Wolf Blood Red Lunar Eclipse and Life Changing Event! Works for me, I’m watching.
