Lunar Eclipse now 1/2 Full at 23:00 EST, Continuing Towards Totality.
Moon | 1/20/2019 | RACookPE1978

Posted on 01/20/2019 8:10:16 PM PST by Robert A Cook PE

Brilliantly clear (but very cold) sky over SouthEast US after rains earlier in the day.

Very good viewing, for a few minutes outside in the cold air.

I’m in your vicinity and I went outside in 14 degree weather for nothing. Can’t see anything in the sky.

I don’t know, I read that there are a lot of factors into what color we will see. Its almost completely covered now, but still looks white. It mat turn after the complete eclipse, but 8 don’t know if I’ll be awake. The last time it turned blue, my daughter was fortunate to seen it as she lives on the west coast.

Looking pretty funky now. Wish the camera would capture it that way.

Found a solution.

Liberal application of icy hot. Nice and toasty. You should try it on your problem areas.

Happening here in Michigan.

Currently looks like two moon overlapping. Redish with a bright spot on top of both.

I went out and looked up for about two minutes. Full eclipse. Blood is more of a brown, dried blood.

It’s 14 degrees here in PA with a wind chill of 6 below.

I’ve looked as long as I needed to. Brrr!

Cloudy here in Phoenix , the last little bit of pure sunlight got covered in shadow, now it’s like a faint spot that disappears and comes back as the clouds roll over it . In some ways more mysterious and amazing then under clear skies

Guess I’ll take a look out the window. It’s at or below zero here. Probably overcast.

The moon must be exactly over my roof, ‘cos I can’t see anything when I look out the window except the lights on planes from LaGuardia.
