Top left deffo starting to get darker I noticed it my self a little while ago :-)

indeed it is, should be the first solid shadow of the disc appearing imminent.

I think it's early. I did notice that a few minutes ago.

 

Yes the darkening is definately noticeable now! We're nearly there!

It's 02:07 - the beginning of the partial eclipse! All of the Moon is now within the penumbra and will now begin to move into the Earth's umbral shadow. From here it will all kick off, as the Moon shrinks to nothing before turning a deep red colour. :)

A lovely chunk of the moon has now gone, the light is now slowly starting to fade.

The shadows casted on the ground are now much less defined. Light levels are most definatelly dropping now.

Really does feel like temperature has dropped very chilly I'm not usually out at this time. This is rather thrilling. :)

Getting darker here and as Thunderbolt mentioned, shadows are now disappearing and feeling colder.

It is not going to feel colder because of the eclipse. It is just light energy we see really fading. Just thought I would Clarify.

The eclipsed part of the Moon is starting to take on a reddish tinge now.
