That's enough about it, did you get to see it? Never seen one before.

Answer 1

No, nobody saw a solar eclipse, because there wasn't one. Nor was there a lunar eclipse. Try to get your facts right, okay? Only one of your references had anything to do with eclipses, and that was a lunar eclipse in May of '03.

Answer 2

Though many people just love the lunar eclipse, I hate the moon period. I was planning on viewing Jupiter and some galaxies tonight but the sky was so dang bright that I was hardly able to see Jupiter! Oh there I go again bringing everyone down....

Answer 3

There was one on August 1, visible in the Russia - Canada belt.

Answer 4

aweee man i wanted to see it :[

Answer 5

Solar eclipses can only be seen in the day, when the sun is up.  

Answer 6

yeah it was tight it was orange

Answer 7

It wasn't an eclipse. It was the Moon being reddened by dust in the atmosphere when low in the sky. There will be a partial lunar eclipse on Saturday, but it won't be visible in the U.S.A.

Additional note:

Eclipses aren't unpredictable events that people might happen to catch a glimpse of now and again, such as the Northern Lights. The dates and times of eclipses can be predicted with great accuracy. For example, a NASA web page for this year shows the dates of eclipses:

http://eclipse.gsfc.nasa.gov/OH/OH2008.h...

It shows the dates of the four eclipses this year. If something you witness doesn't tie up with one of the dates and times shown, then it isn't an eclipse.

Answer 8

NO,WHICH COUNTRY?
