I see the moon…

February 21, 2008 by Minnesota Mom Filed Under: Minnesota Me, Special Events 8 Comments

…and it’s totally cool!

Are you keeping one eye on all things lunar, too? Full eclipse for us folks in CST at about 9:00 p.m.

*Updated to Add:

And here is what the kids were doing.

(In addition to gazing up at the moon, of course.)

Hey, they’d been cooped up all day. I can’t say that I blame ‘em.

    It’s pretty amazing to watch something like this. I’m glad the skies cleared so we could see it!

    I am impressed that you are braving the frigid temps to see the eclipse. It is beautiful… but I am a wimp when it comes to sub-zero temps. Enjoy!

    Its so awesome! The skies were perfectly clear, so you could see stars AND planets too. My 5 year old was laying on the floor by the window watching it with my husband talking very deep thoughts about the universe. SO CUTE!

    That was an incredible show! And seeing Saturn right there next to it was icing on the cake. The guy at the planetarium said we won’t see Saturn so close for another 20 something years.
    I hope it warms up for you soon!

Hi there!

I’m Margaret in Minnesota, and this is my mom's-eye perspective of a kid-heavy life. I love the Lord; I take lots of photos; and I always try to tell it like it is, from sex to depression and everything in between! I hope you enjoy your time here. ♥
