Live Super Blue Blood Moon Thread
God's Creation | 31 January 2018 | FR

Posted on 01/31/2018 4:02:42 AM PST by ShadowAce

I didn't see a Live Thread about this morning's event, so I thought I'd start one.

If you take pictures of it, please share them!

I watched it go until full eclipse. Now I couldn’t see it at all if I didn’t know exactly where to look. Pretty impressive.

“”Post your pics, please!””

Would love to but FR is the only site I frequent that requires third party hosting. Still in the dark ages.

Went to 100% while I was driving to work.

Strange — rather than go red it just sort of disappeared.

Yup—I was hoping we’d see a little red during the full eclipse.

Thanks for a wonderful description. I am always in awe of the spectacular universe we live in. Its like being on a cog in a perfectly balanced machine.

I wish I could take credit for it--I copied it from space.com.

Full dark is more spectacular, IMHO.

I was noticing something was odd about the moon this morning. The cloud over part of it wasn’t moving. Then I checked the internet and discovered I was watching a lunar eclipse.

The word just never got to me.

Sssshhhh.

Its the internet—you added value to this site and our experience. At least you knew where to look and thought it would enhance the story.

That tends to be rare.
