it's almost 6:45 pm here, but i can't see the moon because of the clouds.
according to this website, the partial eclipse starts at 7:48 pm.
last year, i was able to see one of the supermoons.
i tried to take a pic with my phone because it looked so big and near at the end of the street, but it only showed up as a white dot against a black background! hahaha!
here is the link to the website about the time of each phase of the eclipse. just enter your country or location.

the clouds hid the moon rise, but eventually dispersed so we can see it now and the darkening of the lower part.

Last night the sky was very clear here but we weren't able to see the man because at that time we were all in the temple praying. We do that every Wednesday night from 7pm until 9 and sometimes even 11pm.

i went out when jj responded and saw it managed to peak out of a cloud, just the upper part. but now i went out as you responded and it's covered again. i wonder what it's like in other parts of the country?

@hereandthere It is 1 PM here, it rains and anyway not dark enough to see the moon, even if it did not rain.

i'm only disappointed we couldn't see the moon as it was rising because of the clouds unlike in one of last year's supermoons. but in exchange, i'm glad i witnessed the change in color from yellow to red to yellow again.

@hereandthere I didn't think it went a real red here, more a pink but the photo shows it reasonably reddish.
