I would so love to stay up and watch this, but I have to be up at 6:30 in the morning, sooo....

For anyone keeping track, this is the first Lunar Eclipse to fall on the Winter Solstice since 1378.

Unfortunately the weather is not cooperating down here in New Zealand due at 9.17 NZT...

Front may obsure lunar eclipse

It's snowing here, but I've seen a lunar eclipse before like the one tonight [1982 I think it was].

[A Nonny Moose 8,261]

Overcast expected to continue.  Well, aziwaigoz.

[Muck308 55]

Yup. No chance of seeing it here in western PA. I'll live though.

[nathanthemayor 1,261]

I wanted to see it but the sky is full of clouds

Same for us in Tennesee.   The skies were clear just a few nights ago too.

I think the weather isn't cooperating all over the world, it's snowing in Chicago.

[ilikehotdogsalot 308]

Not a cloud in the sky here in Florida. I'm going to go see it and try to take some pictures.

Don't eclipses occur every other year? My favorite was when the moon turned red.

[Muck308 55]

Well it's supposed to be red this time around.

Just walked outside....Its cloudy here in the midwest in illinois....But the sky looks awesome. Completely orange. and i live pretty close to the country in a small town, so its not street lights

[astronelson 339]

It's due around here within the hour. The sky to the east looks clear, so I'll have to see if I can see it.

The last one I saw was two years ago.

[DCMetro34 576]

Agh, cloudy here!

Oh well, I heard it might happen again on a solstice when I'm 99.....

Just as I was heading home from work tonight to watch the eclipse, freakin' dense fog rolled, making it less than 1/4 mile visibility here in San Antonio

[Easy Bakes 253]

In the most interesting parts clouds rolled in. pictures were terrrible no clear focus with the clouds in the way. and to dim for camera to focus dureing the full part of eclipse when there were no clouds.

[astronelson 339]

Sadly, cloud built up in the east here too, so I could not see it.

..i live in Newark, Delaware EST...i watched periodically for 5 hours, it was an incredible event, not a cloud in sight....i stood for 20 mins with binoculars as the last sliver of light subsided into a grayish red...

...lunar eclipses are NOT rare, they do happen almost every two years (but they are only partial eclipses)..

.the last TOTAL (full) lunar eclipse visible in the northern hemisphere happened in the 1600's.

.at 3:17 EST, when the moon was completely buried by reddish shadows, the sky opened up to an even more spectacular sight...the constellation of Orion and the opposition of Jupiter...its was powerful..

Was overcast here.  Did you stay up long enough to see Bailey's Beads?

Yea it was raining the past few days but it was a good night to see the moon i completly forgot about it at midnight though

[Easy Bakes 253]

This is what happens when its windy and you have to use long exposer times.

this is before the eclipse started

[Sgt Pepper 864]

That is amazing. Thanks for taking the pics! I missed it...
