Dec 9, 2011 at 4:35 pm #1810562Awesome. Unfortunately I won't see it down here.
Dec 9, 2011 at 4:54 pm #1810565Bummer
Looking a little more closely, it's just West coast U.S. thing (and West to Asia, Australia?)
For you Easterners, the moon will be set so you won't see it
Dec 10, 2011 at 6:43 am #1810665OK, so this morning I took a chance on the eclipse here in Boulder, CO. I live on a ridge east of town, and I hoped the moon wouldn't set before full eclipse and the sunrise. I missed it by maybe 10 minutes, as the almost full eclipse dropped behind the mountains a bit before sunrise. Bummer. Did anyone get lucky and see the predicted orange moon-show?
Dec 10, 2011 at 7:12 am #1810669Though from the comfort of my computer. I had woken up early this morning to go out and see the eclipse. After hearing about it just before bed. Only after I woke up and fired on the computer did I read that us East coasters had no chance of seeing the event. So I did the next best thing I could think of and watched it live online. I do not think it was nearly as cool had I seen it in person
Oh well, Now Im off to go for a run since I didnt get my eclipse hike in.
Bummer ya missed it by ten min, still an early morning hike is very nice.
Dec 10, 2011 at 7:55 am #1810677I missed it – foggy
Saw it on TV though : )
Dec 10, 2011 at 8:34 am #1810691Watched the eclipse go total, then went inside to warm up. Went out 20 minutes later and the fog had arrived. A couple of neighbors were outside, but most didn't bother to get up.
Dec 10, 2011 at 9:49 am #1810714here it is
Dec 10, 2011 at 12:05 pm #1810743I watched it through the window of the bus, on my way to work this morning. There are some very nice pictures over at spaceweather.com
Dec 10, 2011 at 2:02 pm #1810760Dec 10, 2011 at 2:44 pm #1810766Wow — nice shot. Nothing better than the orange glow.
Dec 10, 2011 at 3:08 pm #1810769Thats a sweet shot!
