I thought today was the 27th. Thanks. I'll fix it.

[bklyncowgirl]

39. So did I. We were sitting out in the driveway like idiots.

Saying why aren't we seeing anything. It was pretty though.

[marym625]

40. LOL!

Well, it's a beautiful sky tonight so nothing wasted.

I would have been too if I hadn't been corrected. Really glad I posted this

[pinboy3niner]

45. I've enjoyed the virtually-full moon these past days

Somebody sitting in their driveway didn't miss a nice show, even without an eclipse.

[marym625]

47. Agree

I was outside watching the sky most of the time since I posted this

29. When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie...

In a thread about a glass-bottomed boat MiddleFingerMom posted that he'd like one with a glass seat so he could moon snorkelers.

I couldn't resist replying, "When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie thaaat's MFM's dory."

[BlueJazz]

14. Tell me about it. I was ready to take photos through a large scope (12" Reflector) and all that ..

...but Noooo. It's been cloudy every single night here in Florida for so long, I'm about ready to sell the whole damn outfit.
(No, not really..cause if I did, there wouldn't be a drop of rain for 3 years!)

[marym625]

17. maybe you'll luck out tomorrow

I'll keep my fingers crossed

[BlueJazz]

27. Aw..Thank you Mary.

[marym625]

16. bummer!

Sorry

[Kath1]

9. Thanks, marym625!

I am always in awe of the universe. Would have probably missed it but for your post. I will be outside observing and loving it!

[marym625]

20. hope you saw the corrected post

It's the 27th. I thought today was the 27th when I first posted.

Glad you will be watching. Me too!

[Kath1]

21. I did.

Thank you! Very cool Looking forward to it.

Peace!

[malaise]

13. Will be watching

Thanks

[marym625]

24. I'm kinda of excited about it

Love this kind of stuff (that's the technical term -stuff)

[Tree-Hugger]

25. Nope

Clouds here.

I'll have to catch it on the TV.

[marym625]

38. Sorry

That truly sucks. I'll keep my fingers crossed that it will be clear for you

[Tree-Hugger]

70. Thank you

Clouds have been fickle this weekend. Hoping for some breaks tonight.

[pinboy3niner]

41. You may want to avoid the drinking game in the Lounge

They plan to keep blinking, and every time they open their eyes and the moon isn't there they take a drink.

[marym625]

42. Omg that's fucking hilarious!

I'm going to have to check it out. Won't play. I'll pass out before It's there again

[pinboy3niner]

46. I totally made that up, but I wouldn't put it past us

Um, them. I wouldn't put it past them.

[marym625]

48. LOL!

Do it! Please!

[pinboy3niner]

49. As if the Lounge needs a drinking excuse

[marym625]

50. That's why it's the lounge!

Though "the bar" might be more appropriate

You're awesome

[pinboy3niner]

51. Saturday night GDers should be careful about calling the kettle black

And many of us frequent both the Lounge and GD. We're ambidrunkstrous.

[marym625]

52. I love the lounge!

GD is just a happier place of late. Not than the lounge. Happier than GD of months ago

[2naSalit]

43. Nifty tool...

it didn't recognize my zip code but it gave me options, my zip included...


I bookmarked it. I usually have a good idea about celestial events but it's always good to have another tool for precision. Sp far it looks like I might get to see this one, often it's overcast during the cool stuff like meteor showers, like most of them, so I'm thrilled that this one may not be obscured!

Thanks.

[marym625]

44. oh good! hope it stays clear

Yes, I've been playing with the site trying to find cool stuff. It's all cool

[pinboy3niner]

53. .

[marym625]

59. Take a drink!

[Art_from_Ark]

54. Unfortunately, I'm on the other side of the world

So I won't be able to see it.

But I have witnessed two lunar eclipses before--
One in Arkansas, in 1986.
One in Japan, in 1999.

[pinboy3niner]

55. We love you, Art, and we just don't want to leave you in the dark

[marym625]

60. that's cool you have seen two before

I remember the one in 1986. However, I wouldn't have known the date without your post. I was in Chicago at the time.

Arkansas to Japan. Now that has to be culture shock.

I'm sure you'll see something spectacular in the sky we won't see, very soon. Did you see the solar eclipse a few months ago?

[Art_from_Ark]

63. The last solar eclipse that was visible from Japan

was back in July 2009 I think, when there was a total eclipse between the island of Kyushu and Okinawa. Unfortunately, I was nowhere near there, and where I was it was sort of dark due to cloudiness anyway, so I missed that chance to actually experience a solar eclipse.

[marym625]

64. bummer!

It's a beautiful sky I assume.

[Art_from_Ark]

65. The 1986 lunar eclipse was interesting in that I had no idea it was going to occur

I was busy with late night research, and while I was returning home, by bicycle, I happened to look at the moon and noticed there was something "odd" about it. So I stared at it until I realized it was a lunar eclipse, then I kept watching it until it was over.

I knew in advance that the 1999 eclipse was going to happen, because I had some software that predicted it, so I waited outside for it to start up, and since the sky was clear that night, I got to see the eclipse in its full glory. It was as amazing as the 1986 eclipse.

[marym625]

66. very cool!

That's amazing that you just happened to see it. I bet most people, or at least, very many people, wouldn't have noticed anything.

good morning, by the way. Or, I'm guessing, good night where you are

[Art_from_Ark]

68. Yeah, it's half past 11 at night here

I still rank that serendipitous 1986 eclipse as one of my most amazing celestial experiences, along with the 1999 eclipse, and an event that happened in maybe 1987 when some Soviet space junk entered the atmosphere. I was in a late night caravan headed for the Buffalo River for a float trip, when we all stopped in the middle of nowhere to watch a mighty glow that appeared in the sky. It was a spectacular sight, to say the least. It wasn't until a couple of days later that we heard it was some Soviet space junk that was burning up upon reentry into the atmosphere.

The most disappointing celestial experience I've had was in 1986, when Halley's Comet was supposed to be visible in the night sky. Even though I headed for the darkest place I knew of (a rural area called Hogeye), I still couldn't see it.

[marym625]

69. I saw two other events

In the sky that I'll never forget, besides the '86 lunar eclipse.

A meteor shower while vacationing in Jackson Hole, WY. Was absolutely spectacular and went on for hours.

A solar eclipse when I was a little kid in Chicago. I don't remember the date or if it was a full eclipse. We watched it on a board we put on the ground while holding a piece of cardboard with a hole in it for the sun to shine through.

Oh, then some other thing that we assumed was a UFO. It was a ufo to us but I'm sure it was known to anyone with knowledge of the skies,

Sorry you missed Halley's Comet. I saw that one two. But you've caught some cool stuff!

[Recursion]

56. Dang, India only gets a partial

But it will be literally right over the Haji Ali mosque. I'm going to have to get up early and get a picture of that.

[marym625]

61. oh, please do and please share!

That, I'm sure, will be spectacular!

[Dont call me Shirley]

67. New Mexico is to have some of the best viewing in the country. Going to light the chimnea, grab

a blanket and the binoculars.

[marym625]

71. so cool

I don't know how great the view will be from here. We only get a partial eclipse. But I might head to the hills off yonder and do the same as you.

If you take pictures, please share

Enjoy!!

[Dont call me Shirley]

76. Have fun, marym. I will try with the pics, not such a good photographer :-(

[marym625]

77. thanks

Me either. I miss my Pentex!

[malaise]

72. K & R

This will be special - next one will be in 2033

[marym625]

73. doubt I'll be around for that one

But I didn't think I would make it to 2000 either

Can't wait!

[malaise]

74. LOL

Was going to write that in my post - I don't expect to be here in 2033

[marym625]

75. great minds and all

And would we even want to be? Things keep going like they have been, I'm going with, not so much.

[mmonk]
