The Total Lunar Eclipse of March 3, 2007 shot in Des Moines, Iowa. I realize the veiw from the UK, Europe, and the western Atlantic was better, but the focus was to capture the experience of watching it...and what we suffered through to see it! Hopefully the next eclipse on August 28th will be warmer! Thanks YouTube for featuring!! ...and thanks to everyone who have left positive comments, they are appreciated :-)

Nov 18, 2008 - Hee Hee... Very nice. I live just up I-35 a little bit from Des Moines so I very much appreciate the struggle you went through. The eclipse this morning is going to be much easier to observe.

Nov 18, 2008 - the first two minutes are a waste of time
picassolama Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - So commenting on the last two minutes would have been the positive thing to do. But that's ok...the universe needs both negative and positive to exist...
picassolama Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - Yes! I just returned from watching and filming the eclipse. It was much better than the last time :-) Pretty much the opposite...warm, early morning, setting instead of rising.

Nov 18, 2008 - Dear Io-Weenies, I am from California and I do not appreciate viewing your clips on you tube. Iowans are supposed to drive tractors, wear overalls and chew tobacco...that is all. Leave the sophisticated cultural contribitions to us REAL HUMAN BEINGS. Please continue being hicks and rubes so we may continue to laugh at you. Thanking you in advance.

Nov 18, 2008 - ok u stupid mother fucker u can suck my huge cock im from Iowa and im not a hick so go FUCK YOURSELF BITCH!!!
dorkmcdingle Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - Correction: All Iowans are hicks thus you are one. Hey Jethro, when is plantin' time? Did you drive your tractor down to Casey's to use the internet via dial-up modem? ha ha ha. Iowans make me laugh because they are so dumb. ha ha ha In California we have wireless modems and lap top computers. Stay warm!
ZachKlever Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - hmm lets see i'm from des moines iowa and i just happen to have a laptop computer and a wireless modem. i've also never been in a field my whole life, even though i'm from iowa and supposedly i have to be a hick farmer. and do you even know what a hick is? because last time i checked iowans are not hicks. our definition of hick must not match. and the reason you live in california and brag about the nice weather is because you cant stand an iowa winter you panzy
dorkmcdingle Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - As I stated before....if you are from Iowa you are a hick. The city I live in has more than twice the people of your whole state! Please refrain from viewing this page again,hicks are not welcome. Ha ha Io-Loser
ZachKlever Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - why the fuck would you want to live in a huge ass city? theres always people around you all the time. sounds pretty gay if you ask me. des moines has about 200,000 people, half a million if you count the suburbs. its actually pretty nice and not CROWDED AS HELL unlike some people's fucked up cities
CrazySandite Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - LoL!! I love when people fall for this shit!
ZachKlever Says:
Nov 18, 2008 - HEY EVERYBODY! On August 7th, be sure to come down to the Iowa State Fair. If you get there by 8:45 you get in free and get a free corn dog. At some time, probably around 9, everyone that got a corn dog is going to eat it at the same time and break the world record for most corn dogs eaten at one time by a group of people.

Nov 18, 2008 - Actually I was incorrect on the time. The duration of the event is closer to five hours...including the Moon entering the Penumbra. If you are on the east coast, you will see the Moon in totality as it sets. 5:45am EST will be the moment the Moon enters the Umbra, or dark Earth shadow. Happy viewing!
