Strictly speaking, the total eclipse starts at 7:23pm PDT. More info from NASA (http://sunearth.gsfc.nasa.gov/eclipse/LEmono/TLE2004Oct28/TLE2004Oct28.html).

Ya know, I was just figuring out
(a) angle of earth's shadow cone,
(b) orbital speed of moon,
(c) time for moon to cross shadow cone, and
(d) time of day moon leaves penumbra.

on the off-chance that
(i) it would be after 7 a.m. local time, and
(ii) skies will be cloud-free.

But 0115 UTC means I'll give up and stick with dreaming then.

Dammit dammit dammit it started two minutes ago and it's CLOUDY. Again. I haven't seen an eclipse for about 5 years.

Yeah, it's cloudy here, too. The last lunar eclipse i missed because i was in the theater watching the lame-ass second Matrix movie OH GOD THE PAIN.

START AGAIN.
