Spring is here and ready to capture the world's attention with a total lunar eclipse. The eclipse will begin early on the morning of April 15 at approximately 2 a.m. EDT. If you have questions about the eclipse, this will be your chance!

Thanks Lynn - don't think it'll be viewable from where I am but will watch the live stream on the link you gave! Will keep my fingers crossed that you have a nice view of it :)

Welcome Guys :)

I hope I remember to turn on NASA tonight, to watch the bloody moon.
Hope everyone else who wants to see it, gets to do so.

It will be at it's max here at 12:48 am and a weather front is moving in so I won't be getting up to watch a cloud covered sky.

It looks like it will be clear enough here in central Florida to watch the entire event.

There were some high cirrus clouds overhead and they lent a spookiness to the scene as the moon progressed into the earth's shadow. All of the clouds to the east turned reddish while the ones to the west stayed silvery until totality when all the clouds had a red hue. Going to bed now.

Got some cloud here to the east over the coast so I'm not sure if I'll be able to see the start of it tonight.

Cheers.

Just went outside to check it out myself.
Big and full and orange as can be. The full eclipse here is another twenty minutes or so off, but it's bedtime for the kittyman.
I do appreciate seeing what I did, however.

It came up here with a slight red tinge as seen through the clouds, but now the cloud is really getting in the way and the moon is now starting to come out of the eclipse.

Oh well, maybe we'll get a better look at it here in October.

Cheers.

If it had been tonight I would have seen nothing. Completely overcast.
