<p>Brilliant clear view here in central NY. </p>
<p>So… S (who is taking 4 AP’s as a sophomore) asks if a lunar eclipse happens when the moon is on the other side of the sun from the earth. Perhaps he should be in a remedial 6th grade science course instead? :rolleyes:</p>
<p>Clear skies in Portland Oregon. The eclipse took place during a memorial service that we were attending. Afterward, we went outside and saw it. A tiny sliver of moon was visible at 8:05 - the moon was on its way back into the light.</p>
<p>Ah, Midmo, that makes sense. I never get over feeling that ooh-ah when we get out our scope and look at Saturn, though it’s not at our house right now, so we couldn’t do that last night.</p>
<p>It was clear and cold here, and the eclipse was incredible. My S stood out on our front porch and took some amazing photos.</p>
<p>Did anyone see Saturn’s rings? My 8 year old son desperately wanted to but my H and I could not get his new telescope working right. The eclipse was magnificent though–I love the night sky.</p>
