Total lunar eclispe...tomorrow!

Post by Melanie » Tue Feb 19, 2008 1:31 pm

Tomorrow (Wed.) night will be a total lunar eclispse. It starts around 8:30 - 9:00 ish with the climax at 10:30ish. We're going to try to veiw it from indoors as it will be bitterly cold (big ole pansy here! :roll: ), but some of you warmer climate ladies could be out.

Just as heads up as this only happens every couple years!

It's snowing here too, again! We'll keep an eye out for the eclipse though. My boys like nothing better than to stare out their window at the night sky, especially if they get to stay up late to do it! :lol:

Blessings,
Carrie

We watched it sitting on our front porch in our short sleeves. Pity the clouds made it wax and wane for us but it was very neat to see. My dad called from Mexico especially to remind us. it was wild to think my Dad thousands of miles away could see it .. and our big big world seemed smaller.

It was a beautiful, clear night here. We watched it all the way home from church, and then from inside (about 3 degrees here last night!). I finally sent the kids to bed about 9:30ish, but dh and I watched until about 11:00.(I was up waiting for a phone call....my very dear girlfriend became a grandma last night!) It was so neat (the eclipse and the baby)!

Thank you for the eclipse information! We had a very clear cold night here. The eclipse was beautiful! We all stood outside with coats over our pajamas amazed at the Lord's handiwork.

This was the most beautiful lunar eclipse I ever remember seeing. It is a good thing it was last night and not tonight. Right now it is cloudy and sleeting. More sleet and snow are expected tonight.

I am thankful for our cozy warm home!! :)

:( Unfortunately, it was cloudy and rainy here on the Gulf Coast of Florida. So, we saw none of the eclipse.

It was cloudy here too, but cleared enough for us to be able to see some of it!

Thanks for sharing!

Blessings,
Carrie
