ME ME !!!!!

Tonights eclipse falls on the winter solstice. This is very rare, and since year 1 it has happened only once previously. The last solstice eclipse was Dec 21, 1638. The next will be Dec 31 2094.

The eclipse will start tonight at 1:33am EST when the Earth's shadow first touches the moon. Totality will be at 2:41am EST. The moon will be in the deepest part of the Earth's shadow at 3:17 EST. The eclipse will last 72 minutes.

All of us here in N. America will be able to see it.

It's been raining for days......at least 4....seems like 40.

I will watch the elcipse on TV or live feed.

going to have to wake the kids up for this.

I'll have to watch it online, as it's been raining most of the day and should continue through the night.

In case the stream I linked has clouds, you can apparently watch the Chile feed. http://www.ustream.tv/channel/eclipselunarchile Very clear there. I'm not sure if they're getting the full effect of the eclipse though.

Google Earth has also agreed to broadcast a live stream. If you have Google earth (free download) just click on the planet button in the toolbar to switch to sky mode.

There is also a satellite feed but it requires signing up with Slooh (also free). http://www.slooh.com/about.php

*edit: Apparently google earth is streaming slooh's broadcast.

Everyone seems to be having technical difficulties streaming this. This link is good. http://www.wpbt2.org/stargazer/

Me! It's happening now!

Oh - the BBC news has a live feed right now! Almost gone.

Sorry this is so late, but if you keep reloading this page you'll see it live-ish. http://images.slooh.com/event/1/widefield/latest.png

I saw it last night. It was about half way eclipsed when I went to bed. Pretty cool!

My photos didn't come out, but my PhD. advisor's photo came out beautifully.

A very red/burnt orange when fully occluded.

Watched it. It looked better when half eclipsed. Never saw it get deeper then dark orange. Must have been a big event for those moon quakers up there

Where I am for this year, it was -4 F, but UGGS and bundled up with friends. They had to wake me up to watch. Have photo's, but those in the press are much better depiction of what we observed. The stars looked massive when it went to full eclipse. Really worth loosing sleep. It snowed for days prior, but by midnight, it was clear as a bell. I think full eclipse was about 12:35am--ish, MST.

It was cloudy here but I pulled some pictures off Snooh's updating link. Even though I didn't get to see the "real deal" I am glad I stayed up to watch it live on the internet.

Hells yes! After I finish my winter solstice ritual :)
