Re: The eclipse?????? #184118 Feb 20th, 2008 at 06:58 PM plantqueen Unregistered plantqueen Unregistered The moon is almost fully covered right now. We have been checking it out off and on. About an hour ago it was a quarter of the way covered. I hope to see the colors too. They said that it should peak between 9 and 10 and it is just about 9 here right now so I will keep watching it.

I must say though, that the eclipse part was much clearer in the first part, than now as it is going away. But there is a pretty reddish color to the moon and that alone made it worth looking at.
