Hi Everyone, Don't miss the Eclipse tonight!!

The moon will be completely within partial eclipse at 8.43 and will be completely in full eclipse from 10.00-11.00 It should be a clear night and from 10.00-11.00 you should be able to see the most drastic changes in color.

These are EST, sooo... change the times for your time zones! I am so excited!

I am going to try and watch how the military spends $40 million of my tax dollars shooting a satellite down. We all know they just want to test their "anti" missile technology.

Oh the excitement is in my veins already.

Might not see it here - supposed to be cloudy tonight. Next one won't be until 2010 or something like that.

Add another $20 mill to those numbers. I read today that they're spending $60 Mill.

Gary, I will say you are correct. BUT I had NO idea it was today, completely forgot, and I do have to admit, I don't watch the news...So!! I thought I would share for those other folks like myself that do not watch the news/read the newspaper!

[stephaniesquires]

Hopefully the clouds will go away for tonight!!!! It's been rainy and cloudy the last two days

Around 5:30 the clouds started rolling in...the gray and the brown ones. No Eclipse for El Paso.

Hey Anthony, Gary seemed to know something about the sattelite also, if Ryan doesn't know the details.

Lunar Clipses happen all the time--but they take a month.
