Are you going to stay up and watch the lunar eclipse?

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/6411991.stm Our weather forecast calls for rain and clouds. I hope not!

I might! I love stuff like that. Right now we have a gorgeous clear sky and I think it's supposed to stay that way for a few days!

Bummer, I'm in the west so it'll be "partially visible". Oh well, I'll try looking for it anyways.

If I have calculated the time thingy right, it should occur at around 5PM on Saturday here in Virginia ... unless something totally unforeseen happens, I should be up and awake, probably fixing dinner at that time. I would love to see it!

It's supposed to start a bit after 9 p.m. here, and be visible till roughly 3 a.m. Sunday. I can't wait to see how "lunatic" Jamie reacts. I bet he'll either be literally bouncing off the walls, or in a stupor.

Here is the US Story on it

Hopefully it wont be too cloudy and will be dark enough to see it

I will be watching for it tomm afternoon/evening.Thanks for the info and heads up.

I'd love to see it except it's very overcast here so I won't be able to see it. it's the 1st one in abiout 3 years.

Wasn't aware of it. Not sure if it will be visible here, but it would be thrilling to see!

When is it for NYC?

Its not going to be visible here in NZ.

I would love to see it but my luck i will be sleeping when it happens tomarrow I am at my brothers babysitting right now and well my nephews were already sleeping when i got her and my niece just went to bed I have already got a heaache, I thought about going to sleep now but I will just be woken up when 20 people come here tonite they went out to celebrate my brothers new job and well hes sick so idk :dk why they went out and i had my sleeping schedule all figured out to and now its going to get way messed up...I hope I am home for the eclipse tho and maybe ill set my alarm clock I love that kind of stuff !!! I hope the weather doesnt get bad...they called for rain today which we never got and snow tomarrow so hopefully they are wrong about that too all we had was heavy winds

Is 5PM when it starts on the east coast or when the eclipse is at it's peak?

Found out NY area 620 pm......

No, you really have to be in Camaroon, Central Africa to really see it well according to our weatherman tonight. It's so cloudy/gross outside here that i'm not going to even bother- the weather guy said we likely wouldn't be able to see it here anyways. If i knew it was going to be a clear night though i would watch it. I took 3 astronomy classes in college- i LOVE things of that nature

I'm not sure if it would only be partially or fully viewable to me seeing that I'm smack in the middle of the country, LOL

However, I'm not going to watch it. I've seen lunar eclipses before so there really isn't anything new to see. Besides, I think it's cloudy outside.

Most of us should be able to see it -heres the details & timings link http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/6411991.stm and they are saying its gonna be the best in years - so get out there folks !!!
