Katie, I think what you see is Venus. It's a lot brighter than the other stars.
CRAP!!! A bunch of clouds rolled in and the spectacle is over for me!!! Dang nab it!!!
Thank you Katie E... *sniff sniff*. I'm glad you are getting to enjoy it!!
I have seen at least one other, and one total solar eclipse, but I am in awe every time. Cubbie and I were out there for most of this one, even though my feet were freezing off (I was wearing a coat and scarf, with sandals!). I found myself explaining God's wonders to Cubbie! (He wasn't impressed, lol). I also got to see two "shooting stars." It was very clear tonight and the stars were glorious tonight! I was amazed, when I moved here from California, at how dark the skies are and how bright the clouds are. If the moon isn't out, sometimes you can barely see your hand in front of your face....I'm in awe of the whole thing.

I had no idea that there was going to be an eclipse tonight until I read it here. Thanks for letting us know Amy!

LOL I just read what I had written. What I meant was PARTIAL solar eclipse! I have never seen a total solar eclipse, although I would LOVE to!

LOL When I was looking up at the moon tonight, I was reminded of a joke I heard years ago about someone wearing dark glasses during a lunar eclipse so she wouldn't hurt her eyes.I was almost going to ask if we need to wear sunglasses.
