Apparently there is a link to watch it online but to me that isn't the same as in person!

It looks like a full moon tonight so I am so excited to see what the moon looks like tomorrow for the supermoon eclipse - if all goes well the moon will be above the hillside and we should see it! Yahoo!

Check out where the moon is for you tonight and that should give you a good idea where it will be tomorrow.

[Maro]

I should be able to see it clearly tonight! yay!

[Lemon Cheesecake]

we are all over cast today - of all days!!!! I am sooooo disappointed! I've been hoping it will clear up but it just keeps getting worse...WAAAAHHH!! You will have to let me know how it looked!

[Maro]

sadly it was overcast here as well most of the night ;-;

So, when I first went out it was mostly overcast and I wasn't able to see the moon rise but about half way through the eclipse the clouds thinned out enough so that I could see the moon. It was slightly red at first and then the shadow darkened the surface until it lightened as it passed. However not a BIG moon as it had already risen.

I saw a picture someone took in Dallas on facebook of the entire eclipse , it was gorgeous , if i can find it i can show you ^^

[Lemon Cheesecake]

How did they get those pictures anyhow?! One day maybe I will get a chance to see the moon so big!

[Maro]

they sat on a rooftop for the entire thing apparently to get the shots

[Lemon Cheesecake]

oh, that just brought memories..when I was 10 my bedroom window use to open onto the roof and I'd climb out and sit up there and look at the stars!

[Maro]

ooo that sounds like so much fun! i know someone who's living room window in their apartment opens to the roof, when i stayed over there we spent a lot of time hanging outside on the roof lol

my younger brothers and I use to lay our sleeping bags out in the back yard and lay there watching for falling stars.

[Maro]

i was out watching the stars for a bit last night actually, it was nice.

[Lemon Cheesecake]

I find it so peaceful gazing up at the night sky

[Maro]

I love counting the stars and seeing the different constellations
