Some great things about living in Cambridge involve access to unusual events. For free, I could go to the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics and watch the eclipse through their collection of telescopes. The building is just down the road. Now. Will I go?


Oops, had the wrong night - it's tonight. Good thing because it was cloudy last night.

From the depths of Dartmoor, Devon, UK - world's apart - howling for the moon and all of the above...

So from my world to yours.... here's my pic Smile

It was incredibly lovely at midnite - the clouds were rolling across it so swiftly and every so often, when the white clouds flew past, the moon was so big and bright - very beautiful.

I love to walk in moonlight on the moors with just a nip in the air. Magical.

Peace to one and all this night and thanku for letting me share Smile

I've been out on the porch howling - prompting the dogs to bark. Bailey seems quite amused - he grins when we come back in between howling bouts.

Yup! yup!

I was just saying to Set that I wished we were out at Mab's farm right now - it'd be even more amazing with no city lights around.

Yea, I wish I had gone out into the country, too. The roads are really shitty right now so the front porch was the best I could do.

Saw a peach moon slowly disappear, plus the appearance of Saturn and Regulus. Aroo'd in my mind as our neighbors are trying to sleep.

Sozlet was on cloud nine. ("This is the best day of my LIFE!!!") Not good for bedtimes but we've tried to do this so many times before and have never caught it. And the weather could not have been better. Clear, cold night.

The last I saw of the moon it was entirely umber.

Oh and she saw the title of this thread at some point because she insisted on howling at the moon, too. (I told her to do it quietly so she wouldn't freak out the neighbors -- there have been reports of coyotes around here.)

Oh sob--we didn't get to see it here in sunny New Mexico--it was too cloudy!

Dog reactions are so interesting. Bailey was a very brave boy. My parents has a samoyed when they had a little ranch in Colorado. When the coyotes were around, she would run with them. She always had a kind of guilty look when she came home the next day.

When Dys and I were camping along the Dolores River in Colorado, our dog Sally and I were sitting on a log, perfectly relaxed, watching the scenery. Across the river, coyotes started their evening chorus and I joined it, as I always do. Sally looked at me in horror, her eyes huge with a look of betrayal (Had I become a werewolf?). She immediately ran over to Dys and stayed with him for the rest of the evening, no matter what I did to reassure her.

Dys always gets up earlier than I do--he took Sally out for their morning walk, watching her check every sound, look carefully at bushes and hidden places. Thank heaven she was fine with me from then on, somehow deciding she was safe. She now gives me a "There she goes again" look when I howl.

Izzie--

Beautiful.

EhBeth--

Setanta howling? Who is standing guard? Cleo?

Diane--

Oh, Woman of Many Talents.

Soz--

Unto the second and third generation.

My moon was tangled in tree branches, but I could see the earth's shadow. First lunar eclipse in a long time that hasn't been clouded over.
My sympathies go out to early astronomers.
