HOW WAS YOUR LUNAR ECLIPSE ???

jlkz — Tue, 29 Sep 2015 17:19:01 GMT

Saw the first part of the lunar eclipse this past Sunday night while near the Pocono mountains in northeast PA.

While there was a thin cloud cover floating past the moon at times, you could still see its extreme brightness. When the earth's shadow began to enter from the left, the moon's face became pinkish or rosy.

Never finished watching the eclipse: too tired and sleepy.

Wonder if the Pope could see it from his plane. Here, I noticed several small planes aiming for the moon's environment.

It happened. Also, the 28th passed and no Apocalypse. Back to the old grind.

In Northern Illinois, the sky cleared just in time to see the eclipse. My husband watched it at various times, too, and took photos. I was more fascinated with the moon the night before. It had a colorful ring around it. Here's one of the photos I took on the 26th.

Very revealing!!!

Actually it was clear and bright. Also had a full, bright moon last night.

It was an incredible show here in southern New England! Lucky for us, the sky was crystal clear. The moon only took on the "blood" color once it was fully eclipsed. We thought to ourselves how this wouldn't happen again until 2033... and how old we'd be (yikes!)... and it made the moment really special. It was a reminder to enjoy the now!!

Not the sharpest shot, but you get the idea...

Too cloudy where I am in the Piedmont of VA. We saw the beginnings (gorgeous 1/2 moon) but then it was not visible. Darn. I wanted to see it first hand. The rain now is nice, though - we need it.

It was gorgeous, here in my little corner of Western Mass. The skies were clear, with twinkling stars. I sat on the deck and watched until the total eclipse, with the moon such an amazing burnt orange color. In such a technological age, this sheer natural phenomenon was mesmerizing. I am so glad I got to witness it.

Here in the Missouri Ozarks the moon was beautiful.

I was the only person out on the road looking at the moon coming up over the mountain. Nobody frollicking on the rooftops......nobody else around, period.

Dallas, Texas I will fill in the credit for the guy photographer ... Many kudos to him in top of a hotel outside of Big D for 5 hours! He said posters will be available!

"Reunion Arena p" is in the lower right corner.

Lovestoteach what a great picture I would love to have that enlarged and hung on one of my walls. Any thing with the moon, stars, and I want it. Have to say after doing all the preparation to see the moon it was a dud. We got to see only the bright moon for a while then the dark clouds covered it all up. Doubt that I will still be breathing when the next one happens.

Same here Cater. I was so optimistic earlier in then evening, then the clouds rolled in and it started to sprinkle. Someone posted a web address for a live web cam from a resort in the hills of California but that too turned out a no show. But I was able to watch a bride and groom get their wedding photos taken and people eating dinner. Probably also won't be here for the next one.

I live in PA, and I went outside 3X with my good camera, and it was cloudy. I gave up. I might add 99.9% of the time when something is going on to look at, its cloudy here. It aggravates me. lol. Last month or the other month when we had that Supermoon? I did get a gorgeous pic of the moon then but that was the only time!

We couldn't see it - it was very cloudy where we live.
