It was hard for me to see everything that was going on or even find the moon at first because it was very cloudy last night. I hadn’t turned on the outside lights so that I could see the night sky and at one point I almost fell off the deck trying to locate the moon through the trees.

I was able to see the eerie red moon for a little while but it was so cloudy and my feet were going numb from the cold that I decided to come inside before it was over and just watch it on the internet and the news to get follow-ups.

I did snap a few pictures and take a bit of video but I doubt they’re going to have come out very well. Ben Spark’s Lunar Eclipse Photos are very good though, so check them out to get your eclipse fix!

The eclipse begins at 8:43 p.m. but the full eclipse isn’t until 10:01 p.m. (EST), it should be over before 11 p.m.
I’m hoping that I remember and don’t get side tracked it’s almost ten years since I’ve seen an eclipse!

February’s lunar eclipse is well-placed for North and South America as well as Europe and Africa. Observers along North America’s west coast miss the early stages of the partial eclipse because it begins before moon rise. Alaskans in Anchorage and Fairbanks experience moonrise during totality but bright evening twilight will make it difficult for sourdoughs to view the event. Western Europe and northwest Africa also see the entire eclipse. Further to the east (east Africa and central Asia), the Moon sets before the eclipse ends. None of the eclipse is visible from eastern Asia or Australia.

Who else is planning on seeing the eclipse?
