Eclipse

[dreamflower]

Is anyone else running out to peek at the eclipse? I keep going out, but it's a bit nippy to stay out there.

I don't remember eclipses being this slow...

can't see it -- too cloudy **sigh**

[dreamflower]

That's a shame!

I'm looking out for it, but i can't see the moon from home so i'm just waiting for it never to be daylight this morning I guess. So far it's just a very slow sunrise and I'm too far from the sea to see it properly. And it's freaking cold out and I've got too much to do to go loook for it. :) It feels very slow, yes.

That's a shame! It was very interesting.

In Croatia, eclipse was visible only a little bit in the dawn; that is, it would've been visible had it not been cloudy and rainy. So, no eclipse for me this time. But next year there will be another in June, and I think we (Europe) will see in in evening/early night hours. Hopefully weather will be ok then. :)

Did you see the whole eclipse or did you go to bed? How did you like it? :)

I saw it in bits and pieces, LOL! My husband gets home very late from work, and I was waiting up for him anyway, so I did get to see it, but I didn't stay out the whole time. I came back in and then went back out. It took it more than an hour to finish!

had a lovely time watching it with a niece of mine. and yes it did seem to take longer than most.

[dreamflower]

More than an hour. Did you stay watching the whole time, or go back and forth?

[nancylea57.livejournal.com]

stayed watching it for the most part; i mistranslated the time however and didn't take a big enough air tank and had to run in and exchange an empty for a full one then got bored once i could see the entire moon as it was coming back so only watched till it was about half recovered, about two hours all told.

Didn't stay up that late, sinc I had to be up early to get ready for work. But they're fun to watch, and I hope you got to see a lot of it.

*hugs, brownies, and HOT tea*

The DH's new job, he doesn't get home until one or even later (last night, 1:30). I was waiting up for him anyway, so it was nice to see it.

Lunar eclipses are always much slower than solar ones, yep--a matter of hours rather than minutes.

I didn't get to see it--too many clouds. :(

It was somewhat cloudy here, but not enough to obscure the moon completely. It made for a kind of misty halo around the moon, but the eclipse was clearly visible.

Too cloudy where I am! I hope you got to see it!

[dreamflower]

Yes, I did. It was a little cloudy here, but not enough to hide the moon.

Hope you got to see it! It's been raining here and we haven't seen the sun or stars for days.

[dreamflower]

Poor dear! You need some sun and stars! ((hugs))

Rain got in the way. As Shirebound and I were lamenting yesterday, it seems every time there is some noctural show, we have crappy weather for it. :(

Too many clouds and snow here! And at any rate I was snugly bundled in flannels when it was supposed to be going on and wouldn't have wanted to head outside anyway!
