    1. Slightly south of you, and I’m still optimistic. Today was a cacophony of showers and sunshine, perhaps we’ll have a small window of cloudless sky tonight!

  2. It’s actually both a “blood” moon and a “blue” moon, the latter because it is the 2nd full moon of the month.

    “Blue Blood” means of noble birth, and can also mean
    “Hemolymph, circulatory fluid colored blue by hemocyanin, a respiratory protein evident in most molluscs and some arthropods”
    It is also the name of a series of vampire novels, and several other plays and movies.

    Also, apocalyptic theorists are definitely into this one. (I won’t post a link here, just take my word for it.)

  3. For those interested THIS LINK to TimeAndDate.Com shows when to take a look at the sky & take an eclipse picture.

    [1] UK, Europe, Africa & South America: We’re seeing nothing
    [2] Central America, USA & Canada: Eclipse at moonset
    [3] East Africa, All of Middle East, India, Asia, All of Pacific rim including Australasia, but excluding most of South America: Eclipse at moonrise

    This video [cued up to two minutes] goes into nerd level detail: https://youtu.be/FEGeoDs9Omw?t=2m3s

    1. Plug your city into the first link for times. Thus Chicago full eclipse begins at 06:51 CST very low in the sky & 14 minutes later the moon sets.

  4. I’d love to brake out the spotting scope and get me a moon pic, but here in central New York there’s a fairly heavy overcast with light show furies. I can see where the moon is, but it’s behind a blurring, smoke screen that makes it look more like a head light in a storm. Maybe next time.

  5. I am set to take pictures, but it looks like it will be low in my sky when it is well under way (early am for me).

  6. Is this in any way related to the wolves howling that I heard this last week, I wonder? They were especially vocal. I’ll do my darnedest to catch a glimpse!

  7. The sky has cleared over New York so I went out and did some videography of the moon at perigee. The eclipse will be partial in the North East and doesn’t occur until 5AM when I will be sleeping under a down comforter. I’ll submit my clip in any event.

  12. So … how do I send pictures? Also in the Colorado mountains, got some shots, but for some reason I can’t figure out how to send them to you.

    1. Send by email
