It looks terrific! Just magical! Those of us in MD/DC have a great clear view right now!

I had the kids up watching it too. My son is really into that stuff. After I tucked him tonight, he said "Happy Lunar Eclipse!" He thought it was very cool.

ETA: Ironically, my daughter was not as interested because she was working on a project for science where she has to create her own planet, tell what color it is (based on what gases are prevalent), what, if any, life is there, etc. She also had to make a paper mache model of her planet. It is, of course, a pink and purple planet, because she's a 14 year old girl.
