Looks like there will be a spectacular lunar eclipse tonight. Unfortunately we will probably have clouds and storms in my area ....

Thanks for the heads up. I’ll be watching tonight. Edit: Oops. I guess I’m a day late.

As usual, it was overcast here. It feels like whenever a great sky event is about to happen in my area, it clouds up.

I did see one of these great lunar events once, back in the mid-late-1980s.

Same. Raining, cloudy, overcast, and too many trees. It seemed bright beyond all those layers though.
