Why dragon eat moon again

In Seattle:

Please join me in Cal Anderson park on February 20th at 7:01PM to sing “Total Eclipse of the Heart” karaoke-style for the 51 minutes that the eclipse is, in fact, total.
If you want to bring along music to sing along to…feel free. If you want to play an instrument, feel free. If you want to bring your whole band, go ahead. I will have a megaphone so that people can take their turn on the top of the hill if they want. If you bring your own megaphone, don’t be a dick.

Won't be going to that, but I'll probably stick around outside to catch the eclipse. (So far, looks to be partly cloudy at worst. yay!)

^^ yeah fuck no

so it's rising out of the east or what?

can't get nasa doc to load. local paper website is opaque. sky is currently cloudy. help me ilx!

you're welcome, ILX

was working but now not :(

ok yes east and yaowza but i wish i had better eyes or binoculars or a telescople

it looks much darker here than it does in argentina, pretty much brown

Yeah, it kinda popped out of nowhere just before totality in Seattle. Iz so nice.

Too cloudy here. Sad. :-/

hmm, large dark ball of gouda

clouds went away about 10 mins before totality, enough time to see a nice reddish glow. but then they came back at 2 minutes til. boooooooo.

i just went out and looked, pretty cool. but it's -10 so i came inside.

it was cool and red here, but when i went back out w/ camera it was behind a cloud and i was also cold so i went inside, too.

very nice, still totally clear in Oregon. I think this is the first one I have seen!

Dear Clouds,

Fuck you.

Sincerely,

Eclipse watcher (attempted)

SO AMAZING
SO COLD OUTSIDE
THE MOON IT HAS ALL KINDS OF MASS BUT IT WILL NOT FALL DOWN ON US

wtf february, i luv u for being nice to the pacnw tonight

we played music b/c it is practice night and then we stood on the old factory bldg roof where the steam stack steamed out this constant white billow of lost heat and we watched the moon turn red and the stars get brighter until we could not feel our faces in the cold

later i walked across the overpass over the traintracks. more steaming water vapor and more red moon but this time the white crescent part was v v small and glowwwing! and all around the moon was a ring of white that made me really know that the moon is solid and big and in fact very there.
it's hard to walk on ice when looking up. but worth it.

*cries with jealousy*

whoa what is weird is that i just realized that there was a little button/badge of the moon on my sweater today ooh (it's more like a vest, which i don't often need to wash, and so buttons stay on for a while)
i also have a bigger earth button. which i will wear on an earthclipse day

was in tonight's certification class during event, got out in time to see the receding shade on the moon's top, like a bad toupee

Moon was suppose supposed to be eclipsed just a few minutes after 9:00pm, guess the precise time my shift at work began.

:(

oh hey i totally forgot that i started this thread

but yeah, lunar eclipse and lycanthropy and shit, i was all over it

Watched the eclipse from the bus last night, on the way home from work. Paper said clouds, but sky was as clear as ever gets around here. Mune was ruised and brownish pink, slowly fogging away till only the rind. At home, it was easier to see. Not eaten entirely away, just doomy and occult-looking. Like Striborg.

This morning the mune was huge! And bright white, close to the ground. It had moved to the other side of sky too, which it does sometimes, to fool you.

There was no lycanthropy.

the moon is a total bro for allowing life on Earth: http://www.damninteresting.com/?p=942

really last night you should have worn the earth badge over the moon badge.

and a sun badge underneath them all!

that moon info really is damninteresting

nonononono! lunar eclipse = moon badge bottom, earth badge above, and sun badge above them all, you're looking at earth's shadow on the moon from the underside of the earth badge

sun underneath then moon then earth will be solar eclipse, also looking from underside of earth badge

oh ya
ken c thank you for being lazy woman's google

It was completely clear in Missouri last night and the view was great.
Instilled a very palpable sense of location.

i saw it! as predicted, jim ladd played dark side of the moon on his show.

Total Lunar Eclipse Of The Heart

soooooo glad i was miles away from that

Behold tonights total lunar eclipse!
