Lunar eclipse tonight

Will you be taking a look? It should be visible - cloud permitting, of course - between 9pm (when it rises) and 10.15pm. Just look east

Yeah, saw that in the paper.

It almost always clouds over on these occasions.

Typical!

Been hoping for rain for ages, and it finally clouds over when I want to see the moon :lol:

After so many beautifully clear, balmy evenings, it clouded-up here also. Dohh..! :wall:

Ditto here. I peered out and thought 'Who's nicked the moon?'

And, of course, on the following night I had a great view of the Moon. :rolleyes:

And nearby Mars shining a beautiful red.
