Are you looking at the sky this morning during the wee hours? It is 2:20 a.m. in SC and my husband and I are hoping to see the moon turn to blood.
I don’t have much to say yet, but I’m going to go ahead and put this post up hoping I might catch someone in time to remind them to look. I hope my camera will let me catch a half way decent picture of it as well.
The earth will pass a shadow on the moon, but it won’t make it turn black. Instead, it should turn it to a reddish color as the sunlight bends through the earth’s atmosphere before lighting the moon.
Happy watching if you are still up. I will update this post (I hope) if I can get some good pictures.
2:35 so many clouds and few peeks at the moon… Only part of the moon appears bright and the rest is darkened. Maybe when it is all darkened it will look more read.
It sprinkled rain a little bit ago. Now it stopped and I’m hoping and praying for a break in the clouds.
3:45 I’m back inside now. I was able to see it, but I don’t think my pictures will be any good. I’ll try to post one, even if it’s pretty bad. There was too much haze in the sky for me to see it clearly even through my binoculars.
The picture at the top was taken earlier as the eclipse was starting. The dark side of the moon is in the shadow of the earth. This final picture is all I could get out of the blood moon. The moon wasn’t bright enough to shine through the hazy sky between the clouds so my camera could get a decent picture.
I’m watching! It’s completely eclipsed now. Appears red. It’s beautiful. Perfectly clear night here in southern Colorado. Thanks for staying up and watching with me Janice. It’s fun. History in the making. History=His Story
Yes, I stayed up to watch it too. It was so hazy for me to get any good pictures. Look at the two I posted a few minutes ago. I hope someone will find my post and offer a picture that they were able to take of the blood moon.
