Supermoon Eclipse

[philoshop]

Looks like the skies will be clear and the temps comfortable tonight. You won't get another chance to see an event like this until 2033, so don't miss out on this one! No telescopes or binoculars required, either. Just step out and look up.

A shadow will start at a little after 8:00, and the moon will gradually turn dark reddish-orange for the duration of the event with the full eclipse occuring shortly after 10:00 and running until about 10:45.

 

Edit: Got the time wrong. The shadow starts at a little after 9:00.

Wishing clear skies for everyone, turkeyfeathers.

Hmmmm.. Last time I saw a supermoon was when I spotted  ol' Wanda Duckwort squatting down to water a petunia down behind Lester Whipsnead's hog barn...

 

Sort of reminded me of a grizzly bear with it's head cut off...

[philoshop]

Statuesque, like a washing machine, was she?

Hehehehe...On a rare SERIOUS note, (rare for me), I do have clear skies and have a beautiful view of the eclipse from my back deck as I type this..Cool..!!

[dbHunterNY]

have a view off both decks of it.  partly cloudy so it's not bad and we can clearly see it.  very beginning of it right now.

I was a mere lad of 34 the last time this occurred...Chances are I'll never see another one...

Looks like a big smiley face. Very cool!

It was very cool

Hasn't bothered the tree frogs, but the crickets shut up. The coyotes and neighborhood dogs went crazy at first, but they've all shut up too. We'll have a bright full moon back in about an hour. How weird is that?

 

Perfect view from just outside my door, so pics to follow. :-]

Had a doe get hit in front of my house while watching it, too

Bad the driver wanted her! Helped the sheriff put her down with a blade instead of letting a bullet fly in this area.

It was very cool, until the clouds rolled in. I got the first half.

Why do you think the doe was watching the blood moon?
