Lunar eclipse tonight!!!

Nope, huge black clouds rolled in on top just as I was going up. Totally obscured, total waist of time, no view what-so-ever.

Bummed...

shit..clouds forming in front of the moon now..
can see some of the moon..not all though..Sun is coming up..

+1

just checked, not much to see yet, maybe in 15 minutes

Refresh your drink or finger foods while you have time!

I like the way you think..

Normally I don't say to much about stuff like this, but ya know, earlier (before I knew about the eclipse)I was looking at the moon, and this full moon seemed different somehow, like it had a different shape, or it wasn't really full or something. And when I looked at it as I was headed out the door it still looked that way, different than any other full moon I have seen. Normally I see all the full moons.

Weird!

huge dark clouds rolling in from the west sw...

as far north and south as i can see there is HUGE clouds coming in from the west. we might have no visibility in the puget sound, time will tell.

i hope some of you guys post a few pics..

Got this about an hour ago

On June 26, we have a powerful Full Moon Lunar Eclipse with the Sun in Cancer and the Moon exactly opposite in Capricorn. Eclipses come twice a year, and they always come in pairs – a lunar eclipse followed by a solar eclipse – a fortnight later. The corresponding solar eclipse falls on July 11. This partial lunar eclipse will be visible over Western US and Canada, Alaska, Antarctica, Australia, the Middle East and East Asia.

Once upon a time, eclipses were feared as harbingers of doom but today they are recognized as important staging points in our path of personal development when – if you choose – we can become more fully yourselves. Eclipses, however, have proven to coincide with difficult events in the outside world as well.

During a solar eclipse, the Moon is positioned in between the Sun and Earth, cutting of the light of the Sun. A solar eclipse always occurs during a new Moon and is considered to denote the start or beginning of something new in our lives. A lunar eclipse, on the other hand, occurs when the Earth is positioned between the Moon and the Sun, cutting off the light of the Sun from the Moon. Lunar eclipses always occur during a full Moon and are supposed to mark the end of something in life.

What a Lunar eclipse requires is that you balance two opposites in your life. For example you need to be a strong individual as well as be compromising in a relationship. You need to be of service to yourself as well as to others. You need to give space in your life to friends as well as to loved ones. You need to protect your own security as well as co-operate over money. You need to pay attention to detail as well as keeping the big picture in mind.

This particular lunar eclipse aligns with other major celestial influences, with seven planets participating and it is going to carry a big punch! The eclipsed Moon will be exactly conjunct with Pluto in Capricorn against a backdrop of a square between Uranus and Pluto, as well as squares with Jupiter and Uranus both in Aries and Saturn in Virgo also in a square alignment forming a Grand Cross in astrology, which is a big event. Jupiter may help to ease the strain, bringing a ray of sunshine and some lucky breaks.

But be prepared – things may get intense and you may get more than one hint about areas in your life that need radical changes.

clear as a bell here, just starting..

got a couple pics. nothing good. Clouds moved in..wtf

My hopes of getting my pictures is over untill the next time. IT is day light now. Dam that fog I think I will smoke me one and go back to bed. GOOD DAY!!!!!!!

looking really good hear in sacramento got a pretty good view. clear skys and all

We caught a bit of it in Western Australia. My girlfriend goes "There's a chunk of the moon missing!" :P
It was full a few hrs ago.
I likes it.

Anyone in the mountains seeing this? the sky is bright and red but I cant see the moon its hiding...PISSED!

14 days till the solar eclipse..

Moon is almost half consumed here in sacramento. It isn't red though it is pretty bright though. My camera wants to make the moon spherical so my video isn't good enough to use even though I can see the eclipse perfectly.

looks cool here but the moon is almost below the horizon. Looks like a cloud covering the top 1/3. Different than I remember seeing. A red tint to the moon. I'm at work and all I have is a phone camera. Pics not good.

Post the photos you took man! Even if they suck it would still be nice to see!

i think it may have already happened, it says AM...

It's happening now. Go outside and look. The moon is below the horizon here now. Maybe there too.

actually, i think it is going to start in about an hour, it said around 7:30am est at the naval observatory website...but i just woke up from some strange dreams so i could still be dreaming....

It is happening now..also saw this...wtf

Thread: Breaking - just look at the pacific ocean earthquake activity while we are have the eclipse!!!!!!

managed to get good focus with good zoom but now can't find the cord for my video camera :(

anyways its pretty generic just a full moon with a semi-circle chunk took out of it. it's cool looking and all but really pictures don't do it justice.
