He was just talking about how much brighter the sun was compared to the moon, and he was explaining it then boom music

now he is talking about Doomsday and quoting some Bible passages. I'm getting drips and drabs of info and missing a whole lot.

still not red, but looking though my 10x50 binos, about 60% Earth coverage now.

Hope it lives upto expectations - its not as big as I'd hoped though - I remember crossing the seven bridge probably 1991-92 and the moon was low on the horizon and the biggest I've ever seen it - seemed about 3x bigger than now.

moon illusion.. they just talked about it on the live stream, the higher the moon the smaller it looks

Lol, my S6 doesn't cut it. It looks a lot more crescent moon shaped now.

How long ago was that? About 1/3 left from here.

Edit: Looks the same colour as that diagram showed it at 2AM now, very dull red

5 minutes ago, but the camera is making it look less crescent than it actually was and right now, there's a sliver of moon left, almost totally covered. Looking impressive now.

The bit in shadow is looking quite dull reddish now.

He pretty much said wait a few hours and see if we are all still here

Really cool tho, thanks for the video stream

75%'ish Earth shadow on the Moon viewed from south IOW now, crescent still bright white and clear.

robfosters · 28 Sep 2015 at 02:57

Will it become a blood moon when it is completely covered? It still looks normal atm?

dunker · 28 Sep 2015 at 02:57

make that 85%, going real fast now.

Boycey0211 · 28 Sep 2015 at 02:57

It's red now. Will just go a brighter shade of red.

Limpnoodle · 28 Sep 2015 at 03:00

robfosters · 28 Sep 2015 at 03:01
