"satty...batty" ---good one :) We do know about the Embassy attack, and apparently have told them to stop that! The No. Iraq invasion was not put to us in quite that way...

I often wonder about the news lock outs in the States ... for example, are you aware that the Embassy in Belgrade was just attacked? Or that Turkey just 'invaded' Northern Iraq with 10,000 troops? Just wondering ... Agree, strange synchronicity to knock out a satty when the moon is batty ..

I know it's not like "being there" but, it's something. :) I've checked in with the news periodically during the day, and it looks like there was a direct hit. They haven't found any debris "larger than a football" yet. teeveebee, do look at the pictures.

I was not able to see it through the cloud cover. By the way, I heard on the news that the military was able to successfully shoot down the spy satellite. I would have loved to see either one!

If my area had the temps. yours did, I'd have stayed inside, too. As it was, we had a "chilly" +40F! If you check out some of the links referenced here, you'll be able to experience it vicariously, at least! :) Oh, too bad, seeing! If my area had the temps. yours did, I’d have stayed inside, too.

I was able to watch as it totally disappeared--which was way cool--but never saw it come back as we had too much cloud cover by that time. Oh well, we'll get another chance in 2010! :) <strong>CV</strong>, you saw some color! Lucky you, I just saw a regular looking moon go away and not come back. For all I know it never did yet! The last I heard,<strong>cj,</strong>was that the missile "kill" was successful, but there is much speculation on the "real" mission, and how other countries will view it. We may never know for sure. :( Yes, I believe you caught the recent partial lunar? We didn't get that here. Thanks for the heads up about the photo on TSP--it's a wonderful pic.

I guess there must have been some kind of reason. For a while they thought that observers might be able to see pieces of the satellite burning up in the atmosphere, so maybe they thought doing it on the same day as the eclipse wouldn't raise as many concerns as people would be watching anyway? I was hoping we might have caught a glimpse of some the eclipse as well but I guess we're in the wrong hemisphere. Oh well, we had a great view of the last one. ;) Some of the pictures have been really spectacular though; the way it moves through from white to yellow to blood read is just amazing to see... TSP has a great picture he took posted on his blog. That is strange about the satellite… I guess there must have been some kind of reason.
