I watched last night from about 4:00AM until about 6:00AM here in Texas. Even from my driveway outside my kitchen door in the middle of the city of Austin, it was magnificent. I can only imagine how splendid it was over the island of Maui. Thanks 4mauihawaii for the photo of the eclipse seen from there on Maui.

Tonight is a perfect star night and perfect for viewing the eclipse. It is amazing. My camera is not capturing it. So I just wanted to share....It is truly amazing. It has gone from Orange to now just showing spotlight of brighter light coming off the edge like a spotlight in the sky....what a blessing.

The whole post and reader comments put me in a dreamy state of mind, so I was very struck by some other imaginative moon talk in news just released by NASA. Looking ahead to a spectacular summer finale, the wee morning hours before dawn on August 28th is the next total lunar eclipse, and scientists tell us to expect to see the moon turn otherworldly colors of sunset reds, with copper moondust and golden hills. The photo above was taken during a similar lunar eclipse in March 2007 by moon gazers Antonio Finazzi and Michele Festa in Festa of Lago di Garda, Italy.

Had to laugh at the author though--NASA clearly has never sent him to Houston. In both north and central Texas we will be fortunate to be as low as 80 degrees at 4 or 5 am in August.

That picture is gorgeous. If the coming eclipse's half that beautiful, it'll definitely worth waking up early for. Wow!
