Lunar eclipse.
Nearly total.
Total Solar Eclipse should be on everyone’s bucket list. 2017 was amazing.
Duh, corrected. Thx!

Might take a peak pretty soon. May just start to see an approaching shadow in a couple of minutes.

What am I looking for? The moon looks super bright. Or has it not really started?

Are you under clouds right now? Too bad if so. Most of the country is pretty clear tonight.
Or it could mean the moon is completely covered from the eclipse, right? I know in Iowa the max eclipse is just after 3:00 AM.

That's true! Like right now it is getting much darker. Only a sliver of moon in the midwest (MO).
Pants is being his usual ecliptic self (on the East coast). Whatever that means, sounded good.

Awesome event tonight. So slow and subtle but still awesome. Brings some memories of the solar eclipse a few years ago.

Was in St. Louis for the solar eclipse. That was amazing to see. Weird how it slowly got dark. Then woke up at 3 and remembered the lunar eclipse. Iphone pics aren't the best.
