Take a picture :oops:
Heh, not much to snap. Need to be very quick on the draw. Saw something pretty like once everry 5 mins and rrarely for more than a second. Course, just being outside while most eeveryone else is asleep is nice too... madee me wish I had a campfire but, you know, light = bad.
Also 36 outside. Cold hands

edit: cold hands + cell phone typing = crappy spellings abound.
I thought it was going to be more epic. Fail.
I saw nothing. It was like -30 degrees with 16inch of snow. So I could only look out the window for so long XD
Lunar Eclipse tonight!

QuoteThe penumbra, however, is all but invisible to the eye until the moon becomes deeply immersed in it. Sharp-eyed viewers may get their first glimpse of the penumbra as a faint smudge on the left part of the moon's disk at or around 6:15 UT (on Dec. 21) which corresponds to 1:15 a.m. Eastern Time or 10:15 p.m. Pacific Time (on Dec. 20).
The most noticeable part of this eclipse will come when the moon begins to enter the Earth's dark inner shadow (called the umbra). A small scallop of darkness will begin to appear on the moon's left edge at 6:33 UT (on Dec. 21) corresponding to 1:33 a.m. EST or 10:33 p.m. PST (on Dec. 20).
The moon is expected to take 3 hours and 28 minutes to pass completely through the umbra.
The total phase of the eclipse will last 72 minutes beginning at 7:41 UT (on Dec. 21), corresponding to 2:41 a.m. EST or 11:41 p.m. PST (on Dec. 20).
