I have been following the spy satellite for some time....Go to http://www.heavens-above.com, punch in your location, and you will know where and when to look for it. I love watching the space shuttle and space station when they are together. Tonight I was going to look at the Hubble Space Telescope, but then it started raining.
Anyway tomorrow will be interesting....spy satellite shootdown, lunar eclipse, space shuttle landing....
I will watch this tonight ...
Here is a series of photos I took of the last eclipse back in August:
I am hoping to get better photos tonight (my good camera got repaired in the meantime), provided that the clouds and rain goes away.
Cool pics, Leolaia. Thanx for posting them.

Thanks for the heads up on this, Bourne. I'll be watching the sky tonight. Hopefully the clouds will break just at the right time. I'm glad it's happening early enough. At least I know I'll be up for this one. Is it Friday, yet?

Thats the last sign before Armagedon "the moon will turn to blood....and the stars will fall..." I need to find a Kingdom Hall to sleep in tonight!
The eclipse started ten minutes ago.
can you even see the sky at night in America? :-0
Oh yes you can!!! I can even see the the Milky Way clearly from here. Very little light pollution where I am. The best gift I ever got was at 12 yo when my non-dub grandpa got me a refractor for Christmas. He would spend hours outside at night swatting mosquitos while I searched for nebulas galaxies and globular clusters. Remember Halley's Comet? I tried to get a Messier object grandslam but lack of aperture, city pollution plus a crude altazimuth mount with way too much backlash prevented me. Even in the city I was able to resolve Jupiter's 4 Galilean moons, Saturn's rings (plus Titan and Rhea) and every other planetary body except Pluto. I love my grandfather. I wanted motorized equatorial drive with an interface to my Dad's PC. But it was not to be. Once my sone gets old enough I want to get a big Celestron and have some real fun!

It's clear as a bell here but, it's cold outside. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. I just figured out I can still see it from the upstairs bedroom window.

LOL How ironic since your neighbors usually see your full moon at the same window.....
Ya gotta stop doing that!! LOL
