Ok folks, tonight's the night that won't happen again for at least 150 years. Are you one of the lucky one's who lives where it will be visible? I took the shot of the full moon above back in September 2017, there is no humidity here so the moon is never really big here. http://www.skyandtelescope.com/astronomy-news/observing-news/solar-and-lunar-eclipses-in-2018/
There are two total lunar eclipses happening in 2018 -- one in January and one in July. Here are the best places, times and tools to see them.

You're so lucky to live where you can actually see it. I wonder if you had a lot of tourists there who wanted to see this.

I didn't see the eclipse, but saw the beautiful moon.

Oh that moon, it was so very bright. I tried to get a shot of it but it came out as a bright spot with no real definition. I think JJ did a much better job of it.

They sure are @DianneN he must have a really kool zoom on his camera, mine won't zoom that far. Thank you, it wasn't as dark when I took that shot so it didn't come out like a spot on "film"

@rebelann I saw his photos and they were awesome. I don't have a good enough camera with a good enough lens. Your photo is beautiful!

I missed it. I wish I had learned about it earlier so I would watch out for it. Love your nice picture of 2017.

We saw a huge moon in the sky. It lit up the night. We didn't get to observe the eclipse...it clouded over.

By the time the eclipse happened the moon in my area was in the process of setting and I don't have a view of the western horizon,
