Teams:

• Moon

  • Position: In the sky
  • Previous record: Fairly consistently appears but goes missing for a day or two a month.

• Earth

  • Position: Under my house my feet are on top of part of.
  • Peevious record: Apart from five mass eztinction events, not too badly.

• Sun

  • Position: Behind us-ish?
  • Previous record: Usually wins during daytime but the moon occasionally gets a run-out.

Expected result: Moon blushes in embarrassment at not being able to look around the Earth to see the sun.

Previous results: This last happened fucking ages ago.

Outside bets:

• Moon fires a turbolaser at the Earth to blow it up.
• The moon hatches into some giant dragon thing and lays a new moon egg in its' place, while Roz from Spooks watches on.
• Fireworks are spotted on the moon as the moomins get their party on.

02:50 Bit late starting, but we haven't missed any goals yet. I'm sat on thenoicee of my bed looking through my meh bridge camera trying not to take too many photos because they come out way better with the flash on and I don't want to be thought of as a weirdo by any neighbors who happen to be up. Considering going down to the garden via the kettle for an earl grey.

02:57 Getting closer. Expected full eclipse at 03:12 or so? Time to use up my five goes on Pokémon Shuffle. Stupid freemium games.

02:58 Starting to wonder if anyone else here is a tually up and whether I'm wasting my time. Oh well it's keeping me awake. I'll think up a dinosaur to teach you facts about in my next update.

03:00 Seeing as we're talking spacey-wacey, here's some facts about a constellation-based dinosaur, Geminiraptor suarezum.

• Geminiraptor was found by the Suarez twins, hence the name, some time since 2000 iirc. They are both geologists.
• Geminiraptor was a troodonitd dinosaur, part of the woder group of dinosaurs including Velociraptor, but not immediately related.
• It would have had loads of feathers. And they would have looked great.

03:03 Moon almost completely in shadow now. Running out of things to say about Geminiraptor in my tires state.

03:09 Only a slither of light to the five o'clock of the moon, definitely getting redder now in the shaded areas.

03:10 Astrodon is a dinosaur also named after spacey stuff, 'star tooth' after the funny cross section of the teeth.

03:15 Almost there... So little light my camera has given up.

03:22 Y'all are missing out on some red-moon action. Giggity.

03:35 Can't be too much longer left of the total eclipse, I think there's a trace of light reappearing on the moon's 7 o'clock. Still noce and red though.

11:31 Think I fell asleep around ten to 4, although I briefly woke up around half past 4 when my head whacked the windowsil as I'd fallen asleep still at the window. D'oh!

14:15 Here are some photos
