No eclipse glasses needed for this one!
Tonight, a total lunar eclipse will be visible from all of North and South America (except of course where I am, which is cloudy). The full eclipse begins at 06:26 UTC on the 14th, and will last for about an hour. The partial phases before and after this are also cool to watch. If you’ve never seen a lunar eclipse before, I highly recommend setting an alarm for tonight and at least going out and taking a peek at it (The next lunar eclipse visible from North America is in 2026.) Light pollution does NOT matter for a lunar eclipse, as long as you have a clear view of the moon in the sky.

Please keep our community rules in mind when sharing your eclipse pics (titles, acquisition/processing info, etc). I can’t wait to see what everyone is going to capture! (definitely try out some HDR stuff if you can!)
Cloudy forecast here. I’ll still get up and see if there are patches of clear sky.
I’m not gonna bother waking up for it. Sadly I don’t think I can get a cloud gun delivered by tonight
It can never be at a reasonable hour, or on a Friday night, can it?
I’m gonna give it a quick try. Unfortunately, forecast is cloudy with potential precipitation at the local time.
This is exciting! Tomorrow I’m off work, so I’m definitely staying up late to watch.
For me, it’s solar or nothing.
