Did anybody watch the eclipse of the moon this morning? We woke up about 6.15 with the moon shining right into the bedroom (we never draw the curtains - there is no-one opposite), so we waited and sure enough, about 6.33 the first shadow appeared on the left and then slowly crept over the whole face of the moon - lovely to see. It's the clearest eclipse of the moon I have ever seen because it was such a clear sky and the moon so large.

By about 7.35 it was fully covered, reddish and with just a sort of halo showing. Then it sank into the morning mist and disappeared into the murk.

My OH thinks I should be a druid because things like solstice and eclipses mean much more to me than man-made festivities.

I was keen to see the event.... but here it was cloudy. ....must have been the cloud that brought the temperature up this morning..it was up to -4 from yesterdays -8.4..

Dear Monika, it was cloudy here too, but as you described the event so wonderfully, i feel i have missed nothing.

Saw the eclipse as I was driving home from taking my daughter to work, it looked great. , temp was at -7 and clear skies

I missed it as it was cloudy over Pendle Hill this morning. So disappointed.

Sadly very cloudy here too, but lovely description Monika...

Sadly it was too cloudy here.

However folks in the States got to see the full eclipse. There are some good amateur pictures here
