-- Full Lunar Eclipse.
Pages (4): « 1 2 [3] 4 »

nice

damn, sky is getting light, totality in a few mins, im gonna go outside now and see whats up

I see it perfectly!!!!!!!

ya can see it, but the sky is getting too light to make it dramatic enough, but still kinda cool to see

Yes indeed it's still dark as shit here

Hooray for living on the west coast and managing to catch it at night. Incredible sight.

I worked on some music while watching the eclipse from my living room window up until about 2:30 (it hit full eclipse just before 3) when I went outside. I sat there, wrapped in a blanket, watching the eclipse and looking up at the stars.

I've thought about it before, sure, just how far away the stars and everything are, but it never really hit me then. The entire time I was outside I wondered just how many light years away each star was and just how far into the universe I was looking when I looked past them. I looked at the natural life around me; trees, plants, grass, clouds and came to the realization that we are nothing. As conceited as humans are, as much as we're taught certain events in history class that are supposed to be these grandiose things, as much of a big deal as we make politics and war, when it all boils down to it, none of it matters. On the grand scheme of things, everything that has happened on Earth and will happen on Earth will never matter.

I felt really humbled.

It's quite boring tbh :|

Yay the moon is red and kinda black down the bottom.

meh

Well, moon's been completely covered in my area for the past 15 minutes. I'm a bit too faded now and I think my eyes have been burning a little bit staring at the eclipse. Sleep seems like a good option right about now.

it's daylight AND blanketed with cloud. I have more chance of seeing this than I do elvis

Yeah, too bad the truly conceited will never ever get it. Sometimes I wonder what's the point in learning the truth, if only a fraction of the people get it and the rest continue to live their lives in ignorant and excessive bliss.

very nice I started watching the moon just before it went into a total eclipse and stood there for some time.

The sight is certainly not as spectacular as a total solar eclipse (which I'm yet to see) but it's fascinating nonetheless.

astronomy is a humbling science. you should develop an interest and buy a telescope, if you are not already into it.

I actually used to be big into it when I was younger, and recently started getting into it again. A telescope isn't all that bad of an idea. But for now, I sleep.

that was cool

I remember the solar eclipse 8 years ago. that was great, we had perfect weather for it too here, clear skies etc. It was quite a surreal experience

damn clouds where in the way

I've uploaded my pics to picasa.
