Tonight there will be a lunar eclipse (http://www.cnn.com/2004/TECH/space/10/26/lunar.eclipse.ap/index.html). They say it will look like a giant pumpkin in the sky. Anybody going to try and get pics?

to see where it will be visible:

and from their web site (http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/):

Explanation: Go outside tonight and see the total lunar eclipse. Tonight's eclipse is easy and convenient for much of the world to see. Anyone who can spot a full Moon -- even during the day -- can see it fade out as the Earth's shadow engulfs it. No protective glasses or expensive telescopes are needed, just a little moxie. The above illustration shows how the eclipse will appear across the Earth. The total lunar eclipse starts at 9:14 pm Eastern Daylight Time, equivalent to 1:14 am UT in the morning for sky enthusiasts in the United Kingdom. From the moment the first part of the Moon disappears to the moment that the last part of the Moon reappears will be 3 hours and 40 minutes. For those unfortunate enough to suffer clouds, the eclipse can also be followed over several live webcasts.

Come to my house...we're having it much earlier. :D

[darogle]

I'm definitely going to be looking...and hope to get some pics, but it's awfully overcast today and probably won't let up by tonight. :( Got my fingers crossed.

[Scarecrow]

forcast is for it to be overcast, darn it.

[Cheyanne]

Drizzle & fog here too. :(

But, I do understand that if you are watching the World Series they are planning on aiming a camera at the sky.. not like the real thing, but should be interresting anyway.

[wyndhy]

we've been watching but i couldn't get a good pic. the camera just makes it look like a golf ball, doesn't pick up any of the colors or shadows.

It was a lovely view from my house. Turned orange and looked like a giant pumpkin in the sky. Made me wonder what people a zillion years ago used to think when it happened.

[WildIrish]

I totally lucked out. The sky didn't start to cloud over until the moon was almost fully revealed again. What a night, huh? Sitting on a lounge chair in the middle of the back yard in my flannel jammie pants & slippers, under a blankie with my thermos of steaming Irish coffee.....



with Mrs. WI hollering the score out the window! :D


And I think a zillion years ago, people were jumping off cliffs during eclipses. Personally, I'd rather be half naked and drinking coffee. ha ha

[Mackenzie]

Did anyone get pics? Or know where to see them online?

Too cloudy at my house!!!! I'm so bummed!!!

[Aqua]

I have some pics, some with a digital cam and some with a 35mm... and I wasn't able to get the digi pics here today and the film needs to be developed. I hope to have at least the digi pics here soon.

We had a beautiful view of it last night at my house... it was awesome!

[Aqua]

Here are a couple of the pics from the digi...

Enjoy! :D

[Galatea]

I saw it and didn't even know what it was. I was freaking out cuz i went outside and the moon was orange....it looked so ominous. I was on my way to pick my husband up from work and when we got back home I looked at it again and it was only half covered then. Thats when I figured out it was an eclipse and I was like *phew*!

[LixyChick]

I was on Duval St. in Key West when it happened and I tried to get pics but all I can see when I check um is a white blob in the middle of all black!

TY for the pics Aqua!

[Aqua]

You're most welcome Lixy... and I got the 35mm pics developed! :D

Here's some pics from that roll...

[Prophet Reality]

Aqua those are amazing pics. I watched the eclipse from beginning to end and it was pretty amazing in my area of Florida. You definitely caught it all in it's glory. Thanks for sharing your pics of it.

[Lilith]

[Aqua]
