Eclipse

Hey Hey...

The moon's starting to dissapear here in the southeast U.S.A.
Is anyone else watching it? It's absolutely fascinating...

I forgot all about it. Thanks for reminding me. I just went out. Very spooky... perfect for getting in the mood for Halloween.

Ooo-I saw it-I didn't get to see the moon completely black, but people have told me that it was incredible, the complete darkness of the night. I had to go sleep around when it was halfway.

I saw it...not a big big deal
I would like to see a solar eclipse, wen the moon blocks out the sun in the middle of the day - now THAT would be cool!

We got to see the whole show here - it was cloudy in the morning but cleared up just for us!

The moon got orange during the "umbra" phase.  cool.
