Get out your eyeballs, shine up your shoes, put on your makeup (just the girls please) and come on down to the lunar eclipse, tonight only. (8:28pm for the Salt Lake Area).
The eclipse occurred at 9:28 MDT, not 8:28 like I was expecting. It wasn’t completely covered, but noticably darker then normal. It looked similar to this picture.
I peeked outside the house a couple of times. Tried to take some pictures to post on ahoyhoy, and of course none of them came out. So I took some pictures of the Swallows roosted in my entryway instead.
Wow, I didn’t even realize I was going to be in prime viewing area. Thanks for mentioning this!

» Comment by Renee on May 15, 2003 @ 12:50 pmLast night was very cloudy and and there are numerous clouds today too, but I’m hoping it will be clear enough to at least catch a glimpse.
» Comment by dan on May 15, 2003 @ 1:11 pmThe forecast for tonight is clear skies. Hopefully the weatherman is right.

» Comment by jason on May 16, 2003 @ 2:25 pmThe skies cleared over Omaha and we were able to see it. I attempted some pictures, too, but they ended up looking like poor, grainy UFO hoaxes.
» Comment by Renee on May 16, 2003 @ 4:18 pmMaybe they weren’t hoaxes. Maybe they were real live UFOs that you just thought were hoaxes.
» Comment by dan on May 16, 2003 @ 4:32 pmDoh! And I deleted the evidence. Dang.
