Cloud cover tonight, though. :(

[Warren Stupidity]

[pleah]

16. Just went outside and the clouds have rolled away. It is beautiful!

:woohoo: :)

[fascisthunter]

I was just wondering that while driving home from work just an hour ago.

[Mari333]

[GreenPartyVoter]

13. I am so bummed. I was hoping to get pics. :^(

[Buzz Clik]

10. I stepped outside. The moon and planets are cleverly disguised as snowflakes.

[Warren Stupidity]

11. Too bad for you. Quite spectacular for me.

[emilyg]

12. What a sight!

[ellaydubya]

14. Gorgeous in Dallas!

It is perfectly clear tonight- what a sight to behold! My son called to tell me to look also- I thank both of you!

[jpertello]

15. It is beautiful!

[Shakespeare]

18. Phooey. Bizarrely thick fog just rolled into LA. Not sure I'll be able to see it.

I've been watching the last few nights, too. x(

[Beaverhausen]

20. I can see them in Burbank...lovely

[MineralMan]

19. Beautiful in Minnesota, too.

[mahatmakanejeeves]

21. spectacular

Seen from Alexandria VA right around twilight. Cloudless sky. I wasn't sure Jupiter would be visible yet, but it was. I went out later to look at it again. What must the ancients have thought of such a thing?

Truly a gift on the first day of meteorological winter.

Now, everyone Google "equation of time."

[IDemo]

22. The surest way of guaranteeing bad weather here is an astronomical event

The fog is thick as pea soup right now... :argh:

[Digit]

23. I noticed it on the drive home...it was mesmerizing

I am glad to see it mentioned here as although I realized one must be Venus, I was unsure of the other one.

Really, really breathtaking.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

24. Midwesterners can see it, too

I saw it when I stepped outside at about 5:30PM. Yes, it was dark at 5:30PM. :-(

A great sight!

[proud patriot]

25. we've been froggy here in the SF bay area today

at least that's what my preschool students call it :D

[Gormy Cuss]

30. Froggy for the last couple of days as a matter of fact.

Today was an odd one. CC looked just like the Sunset district. ;-)

[proud patriot]

31. I thought it was going to burn off but it never did

:hi: wore my jacket all day today

[Raksha]

26. It's beautiful on the West Coast too.

I saw it just a few minutes ago.

[Control-Z]

36. I've been watching it

for the past hour and a half while driving to the airport and back. I wasn't really aware of anything unusual. I was just drawn to it - because of its beauty.

[Lex]

27. Here's my pic from downtown Durham NC tonight.

[Sugar Smack]

28. Lex, that's beautiful!!

:applause:

I live near Northgate. The sky was really clear tonight. I'm glad you got a picture of it.

[Lex]

45. Thanks Sugar Smack!

I was downtown attending the opening of the Durham Performing Arts Center. I'm going to put some pix of that up on my blog. If you want, I can send you a link to it. :hi:

[proud patriot]

29. What is that long white ramp thingy on top of that building

I've not seen that before .

Thanks for sharing the picture , It's been foggy here
today .

[Lex]

42. A covered conveyer belt.

It's a refurbished tobacco building. American Tobacco was totally renovated into shops, restaurants, and residential. The Durham Bulls Park is a part of this whole thing too. Link:

[roamer65]

33. All I see tonite is snow.

I fucking HATE snow.

Beautiful picture and thanks for providing it to us!!!

[Lex]

46. Sorry roamer.

Snow is a big event here in central NC. Practically shuts us down completely. :hi:

[Stinky The Clown]

37. What building is that?

Is that the old L&M plant?

[Lex]

44. Part of American Tobacco.

50. Wow!

Very nice.

I lived in Durham ...... mmmmm ...... 1972-ish? Near .... mmmm ..... Hillsborough Rd and The Bypass(?)

[Lex]

51. I didn't

move here until 1987. I bet Hillsborough Road looks completely different than it would've in 1972!

I do a little local blog, and tonight I went to the opening our new fancy-schmancy arts center. Downtown is being revitalized like crazy. My blog: http://durhambullpen.blogspot.com/

Funny little tidbit, Durham County went for Obama at 78% on Nov. 4th, even higher than Cook County, IL at 76%. We're deep, deep blue here. :fistbump:

[DainBramaged]

32. I SAW IT AROUND 5:30 before it started to rain

I am happy to have seen it. I've seen a couple of moon eclipses too in my lifetime.

[Habibi]

34. Happy for you who can see it!

Cloudy here in Rochester, NY. I just went outside; nothing to be seen through the cloud cover (which is light, even).

Looking forward to pics!

[roamer65]

35. I can't wait until August 21, 2017.

It will be the first full solar eclipse in the lower 48 states since 1979. I remember playing hooky from school to watch the 1979 eclipse in its partiality.

This time I'm going to travel to the area of totality.

[Stinky The Clown]

38. Rain

Rain rain rain rain ......

[bdamomma]

39. I saw it earlier, and it was amazing.

[bertman]

40. This is a magnificent celestial event. Does it have a name. And how often does it occur?

Anyone know?

[bdamomma]

56. Keith just mentioned the next one will be 2052!!!!

[ccinamon]

41. Taken about 620pm

I used my digital rebel with an image stabilizer lens on a tripod...hubby helped!

43. A friend sent me a pic

He's in Arizona

[acmavm]

47. I'm in Omaha. A while ago my son and I were out (hour and a half or so)

and he looked up and he pointed and said "are those stars?" I remembered that I saw something about this on Star Gazer or whatever it is I watch on Saturday night on PBS. Well, they talked about it and luckily I retained something. I told him that they were planets. But, I told him they were Mercury and Venus. I have to straigten him out as to the facts I guess.

But anyway, it was BEAUTIFUL. It was sweet. I'm glad we saw it.

[Canuckistanian]

48. Stop taunting us. You know we're having bad weather.

I haven't seen the sun in four days. And I won't see it again for another three.

And my basement is flooded.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

49. Saw it here in Minnesota. Very cool.

[nadinbrzezinski]

53. So that is what I saw yesterday

I pride myself of sky navigation... I WISH I had a tripod and the camera

[undergroundpanther]

55. I gazed at it all evening

As I sat outside the supermarket waiting for the bus.The sun set,the clouds parted and the crescent moon rose and venus and jupiter were shining bright. When I got home it was dark and It was just awesome.
