...

*begins to cry*

It's been overcast for a couple days here in Houston. Hopefully I'll catch a glimpse of the big red ball in the sky!

Of course it would be cloudy as hell and raining.

Like it always is here. :'(

Where I live, it has currently been raining non-stop since Friday morning and it show no sign of stopping. I don't think I will be able to see it

Hopefully I will be able to find some pictures of it though.

Hopefully nasa or national geographic puts some pictures up! it's to friggin cold for me to bother lol

I can't see anything outside yet. It's 10:05PM right now. I wonder when it will come. If I don't get to see it. I really want to see the pictures.

i heard its gonna be 3 hours from now where i live.

Penumbral Eclipse Begins: 0517 UT
Partial Eclipse Begins: 0637 UT
Total Eclipse Begins: 0747 UT
Greatest Eclipse: 0857 UT
Total Eclipse Ends: 0808 UT
Partial Eclipse Ends: 1020 UT
Penumbral Eclipse Ends: 1131 UT

penumbral eclipse.... think of it like a bulls eye on a target... dead center is pitch black and the next outer ring is a shade of grey... the shade of grey doesn't blot out the moon... it merely makes it noticeably darker.

partial = when blotting out starts
total = when its fully dark
greatest eclipse = as close to dead center as its going to get (still black)
total ends= the reverse of the moon getting darker and darker...beginning of the end
penumbral ends = goes from darker shade to normal

its crystal clear here in mississippi :3

wow lucky mississippi
same with me as mostly everyone else
rainy
flash floods
no lunar eclipse for me this really sucks i was lookin forward to it >.>

It's been raining for 5 DAYS STRAIGHT. IN FREAKIN' SOCAL.

So no eclipse for me either.

Well, it seems many of us have been under a few too many clouds, myself included. If you saw it, tell us what you thought!

I checked outside in the freezing cold every hour to see if it happened. Sadly it did not. That made me a little frustrated. I really wanted to see it.
Has anyone got any pictures of it?
I want to search Google tomorrow to see if any pictures of it were uploaded.
Now though it's 6:30AM and I need some sleep.

Yeah, I stayed up until 2 AM hoping the clouds would clear so I could see the eclipse. Stupid clouds, wouldn't move just for me. Though the clouds were a nice shade of orange, lol.
