I witnessed the total lunar eclipse earlier this morning, like around 3am!

So I slept early last night and my brother woke me up at around 3 am to see the lunar eclipse. I saw it! It's amazing! It's my first time to witness an eclipse ever. The moon was so red. It looked a bit scary to see a red moon but it's amazing. I wish I have a telescope to see it better but even with the naked eye, it still looks good. Did you see it too? By the way, I'm in Philippines.

I am so envious of you. I was not able to see it but I really wanted to. I was at work at the time of the eclipse. Yes, I work at night, and it was not my break when it happened. I had to listen to stories from some of my officemates who were able to witness it. I would have loved to see the moon clored red. ;(

Aww, sad to read that. I hope next time you'll be able to see when an eclipse happens again. But do you really work all night until morning? I really hope next time you'll witness an eclipse.

In my area, it is not actually red but more of blackish so it looked quite scary at first glance. Then as I looked further, I found the sight really gloomy. What if the color of the moon is always like this. I'm glad it is not. I did not really enjoy looking at it so I just slept. Viewing the sunset is far more exciting and inspiring to me.

I think I have seen that or something like that before. I did not get to see it this time though. That is really neat to see.
