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!
You’re very welcome. I’m not sure how impressive a 35% eclipsed moon will be so if you get a better view of it, I’d love to hear about it.
Heard about this on the news this morning. It’s positively cloudy in Omaha and I doubt we’ll see much of the celestial sky tonight.
Last 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.
The forecast for tonight is clear skies. Hopefully the weatherman is right. :)

The 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.
Maybe they weren’t hoaxes. Maybe they were real live UFOs that you just thought were hoaxes.
Doh! And I deleted the evidence. Dang.
