Total eclipse phase right now here in downstate Illinois. The sky is beautiful!

Orion is in full view too.

Me!!!! Stunningly clear outside with stars bright. Very frustrating though street light is right where the moon is, grrrr and steals the show.

@Bhvbum

No street lights here, but I am in the trees so I will not be able to see it much longer.😩

Up at 4:30 a.m. and my local news station had great pictures.

Sadly, I could just see the light through the trees since we are in the woods.

Still, amazing and almost mystical. The mysteries of the Universe are unmatched!

Yes! Very mystical, and so fleeting. I am watching the NASA live stream too.

Wish I had a telescope........🌕🌖🌗🌘🌑🌒🌓🌔

Thanks for that tip. I never think of these things.

Watching is mesmerizing.

So peaceful and beautiful.

Very lucky here in upstate ny today. Clear skies. Set the alarm for 3am, went out for my hour walk and about 4am I could see it just starting. Watched until it became to light to see and now has set in my area.

@4kitties I watch the movement of Orion through the sky all year when visible.

My husband and I were up at 3:30 this morning. Beautiful viewing sky. Lots of stars out too.

@avid shopper

You are truly an early bird! I love to do my walk early morning too, about 5:30 in the summer. I wait until later morning now as I do not like to walk in the dark. One of our streets is very narrow and I need a good view to be able to get off the road when a car comes by.

I was up at 5:00am and saw the last sliver of the moon still exposed. It was quite chilly in the northeast last night with beautiful clear skies. I also have woods around me so I was only able to see it for a short time, these events are really facsinating.

I got to see it around 4 AM here, then it started getting too low and the trees wouldn't allow me to see the entire thing. As it got darker, the stars/planets in the sky were amazing, so bright and so many that I don't usually get to see. Much to be said about talking to the night sky and letting it envelop you.

We saw it as we're up this eawrly every morning. Very cool to witness such phenoms.

We had cloudy skies last night and couldn't see a thing.

Too early for us, especially now that Willow can hold it all night.
