If you can and it's not too cloudy, you should step outside for a bit around 7:30.

Shoot, good question. I first heard it was 7 ET but turns out that was PT. So, totality begins at 10:01 ET. Not as convenient as previously thought.

OK, better information from NASA. With cool charts and stuff.

Want me to take pictarz for you? Moonzez are very elusive, so I'll have to wait quietly in my lawn chair. Then when it's glowing a reddish hue and not paying attention, BAM I'll capture it's soul.

If you look close, you can see Uranus.

Well, if you squint right about now, there's a sliver of white, and the red surface is becoming stronger. Moments from totality. We live in a cool place in space.

Kind of orangey. Nice and clear, if small. I like the moon.

OMG! It was actually CLEAR here in Portland, so we got a very nice view!

C-monk and I ALSO saw a shooting star in the other direction. An all around excellent evening for heavenly bodies!
