Eclipse of the Moon

We have cloud cover now I can't see the moon I took a pic of the full moon before it got cloudy . was all ready to get some good pics now none :sad2:

 

I saw part of it. Very cool. The moon tonight was bigger than I think I've ever seen it. Then bout half was darken out. It was cool. I came in, now its cloudy and I cant see any of the moon. I going back out in a few.
I wish I had took a pic of the part I saw.

 

Thanks for that pic. I never think about pics.
it was big tonight.
I wonder if the catfish was biting

 

Yep, went out and seen it, it was kind of cloudy but I got to see it. I didn't get pics though, I forgot that it was tonight, otherwise I would have pulled out the telescope with camera on it. Now I have to wait till 2010.

 

If ya think the moon is neat try the sun when it has an eclipse. I was living in Washington State the last one I encountered. Where I lived it was total and it was very spooky. It was a beautiful day and inside of 10 min. It was so dark black it just made chills go up my spine.:crazy:oooh:

 

Off the top of my head.. I thought when I was younger I heard the next one wouldn't be like for another 30 years. Could definetely be wrong though.

 

Solar eclipse of 2017 August 21; first total eclipse visible from the contiguous United States since 1979

That is what I read of the next total solar eclipse. Looks like we might have awhile for the U.S.A.

 

hey Brian, you know we will never see that eclipse. Nostradamus said we are all gonna die on 21 Dec 2012. and we all know that guy was never wrong. :wink:

 

That's cool... Look at all those years then we don't have to pay increasing taxes. Always a silver lining! :cool2:

 

keep trying:smile2:

 

he is nuts:crazy:

 

We saw it here in Va. my son broke out his telescope. Hes a real star gazer!!

 

I tried to check it out last night but there was an over cast here.

 

I went to bed !!!!! :big_smile:

 

I saw it... only for a moment...then the moment was gone..too cloudy.:smile2:

 

I think it was 1969 or 70, when I lived in Virginia Beach VA. it was a total E. of the sun. Bout 1 pm, bright clear sunny day. it first became a weird kind of hazy look then total darkness like it was 1am. it was something I'll never forget. Reminded me of a Nuke war going on. When moon covered sun, I could see what looked like flames burning around the moon. I looked at it with bare eyes
. I remember the news saying some went blind over looking at it with bare eyes. guess I was lucky at the time.
I have never seen anything like it since.

 

thought it was the myans or something. but the sun and star have doomsday articles everydaylol.

i was it last eve. my wife noticed it or i wouldnt have seen a thing. she went out for wood. and when i was in grade school we had a solar eclipse. and ya. dark at mid day. cool. i thought nostrils was coming after me then.:smile2:
