How many of you went out and watched the eclipse last night? I did around 10:00 PM and it was almost a total eclipse. The moon was an orange color. The temperature was only 6 degrees so I didn't stay long. Next one is 2010. h.h.

We went out and looked at ~9:20 or so. For some reason we thought it was after the total eclipse, so it sounds like we missed the best part.  It *was* cold.  |

I went out and looked a couple of times..... but I have seen a few of them.... and this one was nothing compared to the total I got see stationed in Egypt... The moon looked huge and the sky was cloudless... and we were about 10 miles from the closest electric light.... so it really showed up. Plus it was warm..... that is always a plus.

I got the kids out of bed about 10:15 to take a look at it. It was right about the point of total inclusion. This was a first for both of my kids, but Dad had seen a few in his life. Both of them were quick to tell me that 2010 will be the next one.

I stepped out, on the front porch, and saw it. You could also see Saturn, at the bottom, left of the moon about at teh 7 0'clock level.

I went out and looked at it a couple of times. Did not stay long, to dog gone cold. This is the second one that I remember, but have probably missed some. You can actually understand how people were afraid when that happened way way back into history.

Wow, that's funny. I took the dog out late and looked at the moon and thought that ain't right! lol! I thought it looked like an eclipse. Was pretty neat! I had no idea that's what I saw though. Cool.

I'm a moron. I was walking into work right before ten o'clock, and I forgot to look up!! I had previously thought it was the night before and took the time to look before realizing my mistake. Then, I forget to look on the right night! I did see the last eclipse a few months ago, but it was a different kind I believe.
