[Skink]

[Mean Green Charlene]

[sleepless]

[thecreator]

Thanks man i hope it clears up enough for me to see it. Im so high i ran outside as soon as you said theres a lunar eclipse. I was pissed that i missed it, then i remembered its 6:02 so i kinda feel like a dumb ass lol. :p

[napolitana869]

what time is it going to happen? Did I miss it?

[savagepossum]

its pretty much all covered now and gone a dark shade of red trippy as fuck

Nijmegen shines too with the red pearl in the sky. Just chonked on a huge pipe of Jack Herer and watched the whole thing out on the balcony. You could sort of discern fluctuations in the perimeter of the sun from the shapes case by the silver ring. It was kind of red as the scientists said it would be. thin clouds wisped by occasionally, to great effect. The colour and light gave me a more 3-dimensional perspective on it's position and sphericality.

I just saw it now,its got a dark shade of red shitman wicked safe reps

[Coelho]

yes... i was watching it... as stoned as i could (not much unfortunately :( )... its nice to see the reddish glow instead of the bright white one. it makes a somewhat darker, sinister atmosphere...
and while stoned and watching, i was wondering how could be watch this eclipse on the moon... there the sun would be covered by the earth, but some reddish light would come from the borders of the shadow of the earth... like a reddish ring arount a dark circle... it think it would be an awesome vision... and the lunar paisage, filled with craters and dust, would only increase the strangeness and beauty of it...

[BizzleLuvin]

oh its most definetly awesome!

[SkatePopwar]

i see no eclipse :(

[Coelho]

now its almost done... just a small dark "bite" in the border of the moon...

[robert42]

[Coelho]

[robert42]

i work for a world known fotographic agency these pics are embargoed they cant go anywhere, as in illegal i didnt mean the law i meant at work :p

[timothylearyisdead]

Bloodmoon baby! I live on the east coast so I got the most spectacular view of it. After it was over the moon was super bright white. It still kinda is actually.

[SkatePopwar]

im such an idiot! i was outside when it was well underway, too...
i saw the small piece of the moon blacked out tho,
i just woke up too its 3 am and i just had the most insane, trippy moon-dreams i have ever had in my whole life.

Wow I was thinking about the same thing the other day. No-one has ever witnessed an earth-sol eclipse, obviously. We sent men to the moon to play golf but not that. The only thing that you can be sure almost every creature that ever walked the earth will have cast eyes on the moon, and the stars also... I guess the whole lunar landscape would turn red.

[Skink]

I fell asleep... Oh well maybe next time...

[Wesley Pipes]

The "Hunter's Moon" or sometimes the "Blood Moon." It gets its name from hunters who tracked and killed their prey by autumn moonlight, stockpiling food for the winter ahead. You can picture them: silent figures padding through the forest, the moon overhead, pale as a corpse, its cold light betraying the creatures of the wood.

At first it will seem pale and cold, as usual. And then ... blood red.

What makes the eclipsed moon turn red? The answer lies inside Earth's shadow:

Our planet casts a long shadow. It starts on the ground--Step outside at night. You're in Earth's shadow. Think about it!--and it stretches almost a million miles into space, far enough to reach the moon.

Suppose you had a personal spaceship. Here's your mission: Tonight, at midnight, blast off and fly down the middle of Earth's shadow. Keep going until you're about 200,000 miles above Earth, almost to the moon. Now turn around and look down. The view from your cockpit window is Earth's nightside, the dark half of our planet opposite the sun. But it's not completely dark! All around Earth's limb, the atmosphere glows red.

What you're seeing is every sunrise and sunset on Earth--all at once. This ring of light shines into Earth's shadow, breaking the utter darkness you might expect to find there. Turn off the cockpit lights. There's a lovely red glow.
