Good. Suga and the boys need a good MOON right about now.

The next time a total lunar eclipse will be visible in Japan will be Nov 8, 2022.

YES!!! right in time for my second VAX shot!!! give or take a week.............or year or two.....

Saw zero in Tokyo! Devastated by cloud cover. Won't come around like that again to 2032.

Residents of Japan maybe yes.

But residents of Tokyo, definitely no.

Had beautiful clear skies here on the east coast of Australia. It was quite a spectacle.

I wish I could have seen this one. At least I got to enjoy a beautiful, colorful sunset yesterday -- always a treat that never grows old for me.

People would benefit if they went out every night for a year, and looked for the moon. There are patterns. It's not just some weird thing that pops up with a tail like Godzilla every once in a while.

This picture has really eclipsed my expectations.

Was really a tremoondous spectacle.

At least it helped to distract from the lunar-tics in power making ridiculous decisions on a daily basis.

(Yes, my Netflix special is coming out soon).

Was too cloudy here I’m Tokyo

Had my DSLR and Tripod ready, but all for nothing.

Disappointing.

We spent hours watching with our strawberry mochi moon cakes, but nothing. Cloudy, yellow sand?

My wife was looking forward to this all week but it was too cloudy in our coastal area to get a good look at it :(

Moon is just moon. I've seen it since I was born. Nothing wonderful for me.

It was a nice spectacle, a little bit cloudy but that gave it an interesting unfocused feeling.

I was really looking forward to this, but thick cloud cover in Chiba. Couldn't see anything.

Full cloud-cover here in Osaka :(.

It was beautiful! Took some shots with my i-pad, but they didnt turn out too well! It really looked reddish, orange at first, but as it passed, it turned into an almost brilliant white.

Last night was a "super moon" too! All the easier to see, from where we were!

I tried to see it. But it was cloudy.

Thanks for the photo. Three times I went out last night to check but disappointingly heavy cloud cover blanketed the sky.
