Was just outside watching the full lunar elipse. The sky was perfectly clear, and the moon was very bright. Well, it was bright until the eclipse. :)

What a cool thing to see.

I remember a nearly full solar eclipse back around 1983. It was in the middle of the day and it got kinda dark and creepy. Funny how you remember certain things.

Heh, I was asleep... :/

The eclipse took place at 3am this morning, so didn't see it, which is a shame. Theres a total solar eclipse coming up this year as well -on 1st August. :)

Wow...

You guys are old, or at least Ricky is. :p


I was only being born at the later half of 1983.

I'm not old, I'm experienced.

I was already out of High School in 1983.

I kept my kids up late so they could see it. It was partly cloudy here in Central Florida but we managed to a have a decent view. It's quite a treat to have one in the part of the world where you can see it, and not be too cloudy.
