The volunteer fire department’s going to get it, they were already out in the rain cutting it, might as well haul off the debris while they’re at it.

The only part of the sky with clouds is over the moon. They move a bit for a glimpse. It is unsettling to see the eclipse of this type. Bible verses about the moon turning red on my mind.

Okay I’ll watch for that. On my clock, GMT, that should occur at roughly 3.24am, in about 30 minutes time.

To me, something like this just proves that God exists, all the Athiests would say that’s ridiculous, but to me it’s the proof that God exists and is with us.

Super Blood Moon eclipse tonight!

It will be a Super Moon! This particular Super Moon orbit puts the Moon closest to the Earth for the whole year.

It’s also the Harvest Moon.

Just pondering the perfection of scale required for a solar or lunar eclipse does it for me. Not random.

Time.com eclipse live stream You would thin that large news organization with a live feed could at least get a motor drive to keep the object in the center of the filed of view. But, not this one! I had a cheap telescope in the 90's that gave abetter view, with tracking! (pic below from the net of a similar system)

It's the middle of the morning here in the Philippines, so no blood moon for me!

Agreed 100%, which is why I find things like this moon a bit emotional to watch.

I’m furious. We’ve missed all the blood moons due to cloudy weather. GRRRRRR!! The clouds were supposed to break up up a little tonight but no dice. TN strikes out again. :-(

yeah cloudy north of Knoxville. I caught one blurry glimpse at it. High clouds though because Lifestar is flying.

I’m looking through the same stuff in Mckinney, just a light spot in the grey stuff.

Sitting here on the west coast. Almost total. We have about another 20 min. It really is beautiful.
