Yay! Thank you for posting this. I am going to try to witness it, though it begins before sunset here.

Yes, we should be able to see it...
My boyfriend may come over to see with me.
Edit:
Okay, yes...my boyfriend will be coming to see it with me. So, it'll be my boyfriend, my son, and me driving out to the middle of nowhere to do so. Yay!

Unless it's daytime in your part of the world, you are by definition in the path - it's the Moon going through Earth's shadow, not casting its own, much smaller, shadow on Earth's surface...

I might see it - if the weather permits. However, it is looking as though I may not be able to see it because of the weather.

Yeah, my dad and I were looking forward to this, but apparently it's supposed to be cloudy where we are. I'm keeping my fingers crossed, though!

Awsome, I enjoy these kinds of events and I think since I am in North America I will get to see it.

We have clear skies here, but it's also 6 degrees Fahrenheit outside with a -10 degree windchill. I'll go look at the moon- briefly- but then I'm going back inside!
