AaroninsouthMN is thinking road trip.
It was awesome, eerie, and spiritual.

How I did it: First I looked up a table of eclipses. Then I found one that would be happening during a time when it was visible in my area and marked my calendar so that I would remember to go look at the moon that night. Read how I did it…

How I did it: I've seen many of these. They are fun to watch. I've seen both full and partials. This one you don't have to worry about looking directly at. Keep your eyes open and check the internet for the next one to come up and hope that it's not that cloudy! Read how I did it…
Kat is trying to better herself
I wanted so badly to see the last one, but just my luck I fell asleep from studying for an exam and missed it. cries I’m crossing my fingers on the next one. -

I may be a little biased on this one, because the night of the actual eclipse was actually THE worst night of my life, so generally it was not worth watching because I will always have that mark on that night. There was a lunar eclipse and a truck crashed into my friend’s fence and my best friend committed suicide. So generally it sucked. But yeah, if I wasn’t dying inside I might have found it nice.

(It was a while before putting this post up, of course!)
Just checked that the next one that should be seen from Europe is on the 16th of August.
A hunter’s moon is a lot better.
With the Lunar eclipse, the moon is orange and high up in the sky. Just a teensy, tiny spec.
A hunter’s moon is close to the ground, and is HUGE. You can see all the craters and everything very easily, w/out binoculars or anything.
Thanks to Schweffy alerting me as it was beginning, I was able to see the lunar eclipse. It looked really cool. The moon looked red and even purple at one point. I don’t think I have ever had this experience before and I’m glad to have had it now :)
raised to be polite, not to suffer bullshit Life is too short to make just one decision
i watched the beginning of the eclipse on my way home from work and proceeded to spend close to an hour sitting outside with my camera pointed upward. it was a lovely celestial show, and i managed to snap a few really great photos (of the 30-some i shot, i’m quite pleased with about five of them). and i’m glad my fiance and i had a chance to watch it together, which made it even more enjoyable.
can’t wait for 2010’s eclipse—hopefully we’ll be watching it from vermont instead of jersey.
