Supermoon?!?! I can't see Supershit!!!

[Township75]

I spend 30 minutes putting together the telescope for the first time in over 15 years, and the VERY MOMENT the earth's shadow had almost completely covered the moon, all the damn clouds came in.

Now I have to wait until 2033 or 2031 Sorry, I needed to vent.

1. Same here. I guess that means we won't get raptured.

[darkangel218]

3. Lol!

[Warpy]

7. With the cloud cover in NM

we won't even be able to catch much of the nekkid righteous rapturees, either. I don't know about you, but I was all set to point and laugh.

2. YouTube had a live stream a few moments ago

I'm in FL, I couldn't see anything either . :/

4. My son got some awesome pictures, mine not so much, bright red

[Siwsan]

5. It just went "full" Here's a good link to see it on line (better than nothing?)

11. Looking at other people's images is okay,

but still not the same as seeing it for yourself. Such as when my father set up my telescope and we looked at the scars in Jupiter from the comet impacts. Far more exciting than seeing the ones from the news

12. Beautiful! Thanks, malaise!

10. We're venting in the Lounge,

here. People are teasing us, so we're teasing them back

13. My gal and I went into the west part of the Bay Area

Didn't see it, so we came back to a park on the top of the hills. Finally, we could see it behind some clouds. Then it started coming out of eclipse which was cool.

[JohnnyRingo]

14. That happened in NE Ohio too

Just as the eclipse covered about 30% the clouds rolled in. Bummer

People are nice to offer images, but it just isn't the same seeing vids or pics. I can watch the space station on video, but it isn't like looking up and watching it scoot along overhead.

15. Fenrir is eating the Moon, it's Ragnarok

[Scootaloo]

20. That would be Hati, actually. His brother Sköll eats the sun.

16. On the other hand,

there will be lunar eclipses between now and then. Just not a super moon eclipse.

You can look forward to a solar eclipse August 21, 2017. Here's a link: http://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/SEgoogle/SEgoogle2001/SE2017Aug21Tgoogle.html

Hope you get to see that. My son who lives in Portland, OR, has already been warned that I'll be visiting him that week.

17. The cosmos was with us here in Paris, France this night. Absolutely cloudless skies

and pollutionless air.

Had to wake up at 3h45 a.m., but was witness to an unequalled two hour+ spectacle from my fourth-floor living room window.

MAGNIFICENT! I was shouting to the empty street below: "Elle est ROUGE, elle est vraiment ROUGE !" It's RED, it's really RED!"

to nature for a once-in-twenty-year show!


View from Paris.


View from the southwest Aquitaine region of France.

18. I'm so sorry.

I feel your pain. I had partial cloud cover for the beginning which ruined my shots.

I was fortunate enough they lifted and I did get some lovely images of the eclipse later, but it's still not the same as if I'd been able to shoot the entire event.

19. we bombed it. remember?

we were warned, didn't listen.
