That’s Mars right above the Moon.
Beautiful view at 2:44 AM here. It was well worth staying up to see.
I took my daughter to see the lunar eclipse, we live by the ocean, so a marine layer blocked us from the last part...but I just went outside and it’s spectacular. Not a cloud, and the stars are so bright tonight.
(We also saw a raccoon and a coyote in our quest for a streetlampless street to star gaze)
It was beautiful and clear down here in Sarasota.
Live northwest of LA, went for a quick run; it was perfectly clear and really a spectacular sight. Blue planet just to the right, bigger one further to the right.
Looked like a Star Wars scene. Very serene where I was running—nothing more peaceful than an ultra-early morning run with the celestial miracles above.
I went out to see the eclipse. The moon was almost fully shadowed but wasn’t red. Went back inside and waited 45 minutes. Still no red. I’m disappointed.
We had a great view of it here in Palm Springs. Not as red as I expected but still a good view, nice and clear night.
This was well worth staying up for...beautiful and hypnotizing.
watched the entire thing , using a 8” schmidt -cassegrain as well . perfect weather , super view . All the stars came out during totality . Viewed Mars and Jupiter as well . Beat drum while moon was in totality ....
We did not get a break in the clouds and rain.
I get to grumble... In central IN, it was overcast, cold as heck and snowing. I didn’t get to see it.
The alarm went off at 3:00am. I dragged myself from slumber and fought my way through sleep to the back door, then there I was stand in my back yard, in my PJs, looking at the sky. Why? In SC it was totally overcast. No white moon, no red moon, just be standing there wondering why I did this to myself.
It was a little cold out, but it was neat to see.
Couldn’t see it here, it was snowing........
It as a perfect night for viewing here in North Central Texas country. I started watching off and on after midnight. The moon was in full display. It was a crisp clear starlit night. The temperature was in the 40’s and dropping with little or no wind.
Before the eclipse started, the moonlight was unusually brilliant and lit up the countryside almost as if was day. As the eclipse progressed, the moon gradually changed from full light to total darkness as it was overshadowed by the earth. The daylight glow disappeared and the countryside became pitch black. The stars and planets became brighter and more noticeable.
The moon was still visible as a darkened sphere. Like other eclipses I’d seen, I waited for the eclipse to pass and the moon to return to its fullness again. Then little by little the darkened moon began to slowly change colour. First to a brown hue and eventually to the orange hue of a blood moon. I had never seen a blood moon before. It was awesome.
As I stood there in the darkness of a clear cool windless night, listening to the barking dogs in the distance, and gazing at the blood moon on a canvas of stars, I pondered what other men before me had seen in ancient times. It was a moving experience.
It rained all night here, so no blood moon. Does that mean the Apocalypse will not happen in Alabama and Mississippi?
