All you folks in Europe, Africa, South America, and eastern parts of the US and Canada who could see the total Lunar eclipse...
How was it?
"knock your socks off spectacular"?
or just,
"ho-hum"?

Recent news reports say:
The eclipse was clearly visible, thanks to clear, crisp weather in southern England.
"It's starting to go!" said Alex Gikas, 8, a Cub Scout who was studying for his astronomy badge. "I've never seen anything like it before. I'm really excited."
Earth's shadow began moving across the moon at 3:18 p.m. ET, with the total eclipse occurring at 5:44 p.m. and lasting more than an hour.
Next total lunar eclipse is on August 28.

I'm in the North West of the UK and it was very clear, and while it wasn't exactly "wow!", it was still pretty cool!
The zenith was about 23.21 GMT and the moon went a bright copper colour, plus the stars looked a bit brighter...but I've had two glasses of wine tonight so that might have had something to do with it!

I'm in Ireland, and I could see it perfectly for the whole thing. I thought it would go by a little quicker but it was really good and apparently won't be as good for the British Isles again til 28Feb 2008 and even then it's at 3am! Lucky I caught it this time round then!
