Did you see it?

Here’s what a few members of our EarthSky community had to say about it:

Carol said:
_I can see three rays of light from each side of the moon!!! How beautiful it is!!_

Dawn said:
_Great view of the eclipse tonight. The moon glowed a pale burgundy and then a golden copper. Saturn and Regulus were also very bright. Awesome sight!_

EarthSky’s Larry Session said:
_Here in Denver we had a number of observing parties planned, but were completely clouded out — didn’t see a thing!_

Kat said:
_What a view from Mason Ohio! I do wish we owned a telescope though … Our kids thought it was well worth staying up for and I have to agree. Can’s wait for 2010!_
