And look at the moon. Eclipsing as I speak.

Looks so cool!

Space station making an appearance in the SW sky at 825pm. Travelling to the NE. Visible in so cal.

I have been checking, but tall trees won't let me see it yet. It should be visible soon though!

My buddy in Oakland said it will peak around midnight there so stay up, it will be higher in the sky.

Totally went full on blood moon here in San Felipe for about an hour or more. About 70% back now.

Watched the ISS cruise overhead last night (8:25) but the eclipsed moon didn't make an appearance until 9 pm because it was behind a mountain.

Fun with Astronomy!

I gave up at 10:30! The moon was high (and small) and the effect of the shadow was being diminished by a high, thin cloud cover.

Saw a little bit of it here in LA. Thanks for the heads up.
