They say it will happen about 3am.I will probally fall asleep ;D
Just so happens I have the day off tomorrow, so I might be tempted, given that I can have a lie in ;D
I didnt realise it was happening ??? Will it start at 3 or is that when it will be in full eclipse?
I'd like to watch it, but dont know if I will manage to stay awake.
cj :)
At the moment its fairly cloudy, if there is a chance of the skies clearing I will be out there. With big coat, cocoa and lots of socks on :D
There isnt another full lunar eclipse until 2010, so it would be nice for the clouds to go away ;)

I just had a look at sky news and it says the moon will turn red about 3am and go on till about six am.The earth covers the moon completely with its shadow. :)
Think I'll wait for the next one to come along...
:)
Oh that is just the excuse I needed to stay up, there is an item on US e bay that I badly want and I was trying to justify not going to bed. Eclipse at 3pm and item finishes at 3.27, will I make it !!

Its still cloudy here, its early yet though
bit cloudy here too but I can just about see the moon
would love to see it but can't stay awake till 3am these days! not on a 'school night' anyway
I suddenly feel that little bit older! :D
good luck with the bidding Jeannine!
Jeannine, are you going to tell us what you are bidding for?
Let us know how you get on ;D
cj :)
A job lot of 27 yards on Thimbleberries quilting fabric!
Well I shall see!! XX Jeannine
According to the forecast, its likely to be cloudy all night, so I wont bother. The one last year was brill. though - and at a sensible/practical time.
Still, all that cloud will stop it from freezeing tonight and the sun tomorrow will make a reasonable day temp., good enough to get out in the garden/lottie.
Saw one about 10 years ago at a reasonable time. One eclipse looks much like another, I guess ::) ::) ::) ::) ::)
They are, but it doesn't make them any less special.
Some people fly arund the world for one. Me, I can't be bothered to get out of bed.
I just depends how much of an atsronut you are !
Its a little hazy, but its halfway there ;D ;D
Got up at 2.30. Heavy cloud. Went back to bed.
cj :)
I woke up at 2.40am and thought, Ok, I'll get up in about ten minutes. Next thing I knew, it was 7.45am! :(
More importantly, Jeannine, did you stay awake long enough to bid - and did you win? ;D
Shame I missed this thread last night - it was a lovely clear night here, I could have seen it!!
Jeannine - we are all waiting with baited breath to know if you won your bid!
Cloudy. Clock radio read 1.40am - it seemed awfully light outside for that time. Went back to sleep. Cloud and rain overnight. Wanted to stay up - think I would have done if it had been a clear night.
I had the delight of working on track last night in east London. Sadly ,whilst we got the occasional glimpse, it was always shrouded in cloud.

suppose we should be glad no-one got confused and started World War III
" Sureveillance cameras have captured what is thought to be a meteor shooting through the sky above the US. "
Didn't someone tell them they launched a SAM-3 last night ?
