Lunar Eclipse today, June 15th, live via Google.

Google posted today, that it is broadcasting live streaming of the eclipse via its YouTube channel and via Google Earth.  Starts at 11:20 am PDT.  Awesome, really...especially the Google Earth tracking of the moon.


And it has begun!  11:23 am.
And still growing.  11:35 am.
Now halfway in the shadow. 11:52 am.
Almost there! 12:08 pm.
Near totality, the moon has begun to turn red. 12:17 pm.
Minutes away from totality, now more red.  12:23 pm.
Orange-red glow...feel the warmth.  12:32.
Now halfway through the entire event, a nice red.  1:00 pm.
Uniform reddish-orange.  1:20 pm.
Now starting to exit totality.  1:48pm.
....the light is coming back.  2:01 pm.
Oh, and by the way, Google Doodle is running a live updated animation of the eclipse.  Note: you might not be able to see it if you're utilizing IE9 or other older browsers not supporting HTML5.
End.  Well, at least for me it is.  Sun's taking over (outside that is.)
