I checked it out a few times but it did get overcast which diminished the experience. Since the moon's orbit is inclined about 5 degrees off the ecliptic, eclipses are relatively rare. When there's a total lunar eclipse, there's usually a solar eclipse two weeks before or after since the orbits are closely aligned at that time. There will be a partial solar eclipse across Africa and Asia on January 4.

We would have had a great view- except it was so cloudy and foggy, we couldn't see anything but a reddish glowing haze- but we can also get that from the reflection from the city lights when it is that cloudy

We had a great view of the eclipse here. Phoebe thought it was the coolest thing ever.

Shirley was up a couple of times last night to check out the eclipse. Woke me up both times and tried to entice me outside to look.
Wasn't gonna happen since I don't wear warm clothing in bed and it was down to 70 F outside!
Brrrrrrrrrrrt
