jeff2429 Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 It's been raining here so I can't see it because of all the cloud cover. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mahdi Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 I missed last years because I had to be up so early for work, but I saw this one. It was cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunner154 Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 I don't think South East Asia will be getting it, if I remember correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timenn Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 So I woke at 04:15 to see the moon in its Umbra phase. Instead of a nice colored moon, I could get a very clear view of all the fog outside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunner154 Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Really? I couldn't recall. I only remember the one about Mars coming near or something, and the sky was reddish or purplish or something. It was beautiful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Posted February 22, 2008 Author Share Posted February 22, 2008 You could clearly see Saturn to the left of the moon. And a distant star to the north of the moon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Gotenks absorbed Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 You could clearly see Saturn to the left of the moon. And a distant star to the north of the moon.How in the world could you see Saturn? Unfortunatly I missed the eclipse because no one told me it would be appearing, not even the news/newspaper/my mom/my family told me...
