Total Lunar Eclipse Tonight.
Total Lunar Eclipse: February 20, 2008
This should be interesting. Next one won't happen until 2010, so if you like this kinda stuff, get your fill now. |
2010s gonna be totally useless since the whole spectacle will take place early in the morning AFTER sunrise. So we have to wait until 2015. I dunno about tomorrow, it's gonna be like 4 AM, yes? Maybe I will set my alarm-clock (my cat).
|
It's 9PM-10PM where I live.
|
Thanks for the heads up. It'll show up around 8pm here :p
|
If the weather cooperates, I might see it.
|
Tonight, I will indeed be looking at the dark side of the moon.
<3 |
Missed this the last time it rolled around.
I'm not missing it again! :mad: |
...Huh.
I walked outside an hour ago and noticed the moon was orange and thought nothing of it. Should've stuck around longer. :/ edit: actually, it apparently hasn't happened here yet. What the fuck? |
I was so excited about this when I saw it on the news but judging by the weather it's going to be a completely cloudy night around here. Hopefully it will clear up just long enough for me to catch a couple minutes of the eclipse. If not then I guess I'll be reduced to looking at some pictures on the news tomorrow.
|
Thanks for letting me know, I'll try and keep an eye out for it. It's all gonna go down around 10pm EST here, so I should have nice view of it if these clouds clear up within the next seven hours. It's the moon's big show and the curtains are drawn...
|
7:30 PM or so here, I'm gonna try to get up on the roof of my office to see if I can get a good view. Whole southern California area is covered in clouds right now, though. :(
|
Beautiful! I was fairly mad at myself for missing the last one, so I've been hyping this one up. I'm scheduled for partly cloudy weather, but hopefully it won't be too bad.
|
Tonight's weather: overcast with flurries.
Thanks a lump, Buffalo. |
^^ sans flurries for northwest England >.>
|
I believe it to be approximately 3am ish here in the UK, hoping I wake up.
|
Gonna see this eclipse while riding on my Eclipse. Yeah, I know, so went the fuck there.
But in all honesty, I might pass this one up since I work at 6 AM and need all the sleep I can get. |
Normally I'd be out of work by now, but it's school vacation week, so I'm stuck here till well after the eclipse has ended =(
EDIT: However, looking out of the only window of the projection booth, I have a beautiful view of the moon over Boston harbor... There may be hope! |
Gonna not see this eclipse. Overcast skies comin liek wut
|
It is super clear where I am. I can see the eclipse happening right now.
|
Heavy thunderstorms all day. Bummer. :(
|
It's super clear here. Just need to check out of the window to see it. It's half way through the moon now.
|
Its all red where I'm at. Beautiful. Its surprisingly bright too, for a dark-red moon
|
We're watching it here too. It's framed perfectly in my living room window, so we have the lights down low and my daughter is on the couch watching intently, asking me question after question.
|
Beautiful. Glad the clouds parted for a bit.
|
I saw it as I was taking out the trash this evening. I had totally forgotten about it, so it's a good thing I decided to take it out tonight!
|
Right out my window too. It's completely covered. Should start lighting back up in around 15 mins
|
Turnaround, every now and then I get a
little bit lonely and you're never coming round Turnaround, Every now and then I get a little bit tired of listening to the sound of my tears Turnaround, Every now and then I get a little bit nervous that the best of all the years have gone by Turnaround, Every now and then I get a little bit terrified and then I see the look in your eyes Turnaround bright eyes, Every now and then I fall apart Turnaround bright eyes, Every now and then I fall apart Turnaround, Every now and then I get a little bit restless and I dream of something wild Turnaround, Every now and then I get a little bit helpless and I'm lying like a child in your arms Turnaround, Every now and then I get a little bit angry and I know I've got to get out and cry Turnaround, Every now and then I get a little bit terrified but then I see the look in your eyes Turnaround bright eyes, Every now and then I fall apart Turnaround bright eyes, Every now and then I fall apart And I need you now tonight And I need you more than ever And if you'll only hold me tight We'll be holding on forever And we'll only be making it right Cause we'll never be wrong together We can take it to the end of the line Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time I don't know what to do and I'm always in the dark We're living in a powder keg and giving off sparks I really need you tonight Forever's gonna start tonight Forever's gonna start tonight Once upon a time I was falling in love But now I'm only falling apart There's nothing I can do A total eclipse of the heart Once upon a time there was light in my life But now there's only love in the dark Nothing I can say A total eclipse of the heart Turnaround bright eyes Turnaround bright eyes Turnaround, every now and then I know you'll never be the boy you always you wanted to be Turnaround, every now and then I know you'll always be the only boy who wanted me the way that I am Turnaround, every now and then I know there's no one in the universe as magical and wonderous as you Turnaround, every now and then I know there's nothing any better and there's nothing I just wouldn't do Turnaround bright eyes, Every now and then I fall apart Turnaround bright eyes, Every now and then I fall apart And I need you now tonight And I need you more than ever And if you'll only hold me tight We'll be holding on forever And we'll only be making it right Cause we'll never be wrong together We can take it to the end of the line Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time I don't know what to do and I'm always in the dark We're living in a powder keg and giving off sparks I really need you tonight Forever's gonna start tonight Forever's gonna start tonight Once upon a time I was falling in love But now I'm only falling apart There's nothing I can do A total eclipse of the heart Once upon a time there was light in my life But now there's only love in the dark Nothing I can say A total eclipse of the heart |
I saw it written and I saw it say
Pink moon is on its way And none of you stand so tall Pink moon gonna get you all It's a pink moon It's a pink, pink, pink, pink, pink moon. |
Deni, the video for that song is one of the downsides of being old enough to clearly remember 1984. MTV played it way too fucking much.
P.S. Thank you for getting that god forsaken song stuck in my head for the evening. |

I think the fucking Wiggles could have done a good cover compared to Bonnie Tyler.

Once in your life you find her
Someone that turns your heart around And next thing you know you're closing down the town Wake up and it's still with you Even though you left her way across town Wondering to yourself, "Hey, what've I found?" When you get caught between the Moon and New York City I know it's crazy, but it's true If you get caught between the Moon and New York City The best that you can do ...... The best that you can do is fall in love Arthur he does as he pleases All of his life, he's mastered choice Deep in his heart, he's just, he's just a boy Living his life one day at a time And showing himself a really good time Laughing about the way they want him to be When you get caught between the Moon and New York City I know it's crazy, but it's true If you get caught between the Moon and New York City The best that you can do ..... The best that you can do is fall in love When you get caught between the Moon and New York City I know it's crazy, but it's true If you get caught between the Moon and New York City The best that you can do ..... The best that you can do is fall in love |
Screams break the silence
Waking from the dead of night Vengeance is boiling He's returned to kill the light Then when he's found who he's looking for Listen in awe and you'll hear him Bark at the moon Years spent in torment Buried in a nameless grave Now he has risen Miracles would have to save Those that the beast is looking for Listen in awe and you'll hear him Bark at the moon Hey, yeah Bark at the moon They cursed and buried him Along with shame And thought his timeless soul had gone In empty burning hell--unholy one But now he's returned to prove them wrong so wrong oh yeah, baby Howling in shadows Living in a lunar spell He finds his heaven Spewing from the mouth of hell Those that the beast is looking for Listen in awe and you'll hear him Bark at the moon. Hey, yeah Bark at the moon Hey, yeah Bark at the moon Whoa Whoa Yeah, Bark at the moon |
Oh, you want some?

What exactly happens during a lunar eclipse anyway? I couldn't even see it tonight, 'cause I can't see the moon at all from my apt windows >_>
|
I dunno, I still think pulling out "Moonshadow" was the trump.
|
I agree, but I had to give it a shot.
|
It was mostly cloudy here, but there were enough gaps that I got a good view and some good photographs of the totality of the eclipse. The only downside was the intense skyglow from the nearby cities lighting up the clouds and my surroundings.
|
I don't have a telephoto lens, but I do have a tripod. ;) I took what I could of the spectacle. Red moon, yo.

Thanks for the pics, I totally missed it.

EDIT: yarr, I'll post up a few of my pics soon :3 EDIT2: boo, this is a rather stinky pic. For a focal length of 300mm on a nice DSLR I didn't get a very nice result. I blame light pollution D: http://img141.imageshack.us/img141/6...6162008du9.jpg |
Its currently raining outside so no eclipse for me.
Thanks for the pics Pyro! |
I was busy studying for two morning exams and forgot to check outside tonight and completely forgot about the eclipse. That sucked until I looked a few minutes ago and the saw that the sky is nothing but clouds anyway. Nice pics, Naz!

I have been hearing about this for a while now, and I was sort of looking forward to seeing the moon being covered, and then BOOM, the most intense Thunderstorm we have had for the past 6 months. >3<
