I saw the last one and it all went red afterwards, it was really eerie and really made me aware of how small earth is in the universe - i thought it was a rare beautiful sight

Ours is supposed to peak red in about an hour or so.
I have an awesome view out here in the country. No clouds, no smog, no buildings in the way.

Wish I had a digital camera to share the view.

Are we talking about a lunar eclipse here, cause otherwise you wouldn't be seeing it in Ohio.

About half way through the eclipse here. Very fuzzy edged shadow tonight with the occasional totally opaque clouds hiding the action.

Live in Manhattan and you would be lucky to see the sky, never mind an eclipse. Well, unless it’s a car.

Too bad, it's too cloudy to see it here anyway.

I've seen one before, it is facinating. If you're easily amused like I am! grin
