| So is the eclipse! Should start in about 15 minutes and last for about 3 hours.

Saw it! The clouds are over Boonton now. Doggies wanted to know why we were standing around outside in the freezing cold, in the dark.

Full eclipses have all the colors you mentioned, at different times.

The clouds have moved over the moon now, but we saw it from the beginning into the color. Looked reddish orange from here. Very cool and it won't happen again until 2010.
Dana, I'm not sure, but I think the west coast will only get a partial eclipse. Still you should be able to see something.

| Hubby also said we wouldn't see a similar alignment of Saturn and Rigel (Regulus?) for another 1,000 years. But he could have been blowing smoke up my butt, too. He's real good at that.
