For anyone who will be awake for the next 1-3 hours, and lives in central/eastern America/Canada, you'll be able to see a total lunar eclipse tonight. The moon will begin to glow red and disfigure starting at 1 AM and climaxing around 2:30-3 AM, depending on where you live (further east, then earlier).
Tonight's is a rare event, in that the eclipse is happening on the longest night of the year. The eclipse is occurring as the seasons change. :) It's an extremely rare occurance (the last time was in the 17th century). There's no scientific meaning to that--it's just a fun fact. :P
I'll be up working on finals crap, so I'll definitely check it out.

P.S. It's starting, if people who don't intend to stay up later want to see even a small part of it.

Went to have a look from the top of a hill out west of Auckland but it was cloudy /sadface
But! As a contribution to the thread I thought I'd post a picture that I took of the first eclipse that I ever saw, and only one I managed to get half decent pictures of, from Guadaloupe in 1998.

Dammit, I knew I'd forget about this. Harumpf.
What's bred in the bone will not out of the flesh.
I found out about this today. Dammit! No one here or on Facebook bothered to say anything until after I had gone to bed. Yes, it's all about me, people.
It was raining here, so I went to bed, trusting that A) the sun will come up anyway; and B) somewhere, someone will post videos of the eclipse.
In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

I shared it on Facebook. URDOINITWRONG.

I tried to take pictures, but it wasn't happening. The light pollution at Rutgers is massive, so the darkened moon didn't stand a chance. :(

AFTER I had gone to bed! THINK, Tare, THINK!!!
Of course I didn't find out about it until the morning after :/
Goddam it I totally forgot to see the eclipse. The conditions were perfect too.

You obviously missed my posts too, Nads.
And it was too much rain and bad weather for us in San Diego too. But I'm not sure, I slept through it all. Marathon run Christmas shopping last night left me dead tired. I only have 3 gifts left (I thought I had only 1 gift left last night, but realized I forgot someone).

I went out about midnight last night and it was too cloudy to see anything. Much relieved I'd not feel obligated to stay up until 3am, I went in and went to bed.

I was able to see the process of the eclipse, but then clouds moved in almost immediately after and covered only the moon.
