I did. Both live outside alternating with the view from NASA Streamed from Griffith Observatory. Quite a show! There'll be 3 more in the coming year - a full tetrad as it's known.
I posted this on facebook yesterday as the eclipse was reaching totality:

Quote:The Moon right now looks rather a lot like Mars, actually.
I have to wonder - what would this show look like from out there on the Moon?
You'd be able to see the dark side of the Earth where a few minutes before the Sun would've been blocking it out. And all around the Earth would be the rim of light from the sun refracting through the atmosphere.
A continuous sunrise/sunset all around the edge of the disc of the Earth, with all the city lights gleaming at you on the night side.
And if you cast your Astronaut eyes through the faceplate of your helmet at the regolith at your feet - would it have that blood red light coloring everything? One of the few times that you'd see any color on the Moon itself other than stark black, white and grey.
And the stars! Normally you'd not be able to make out the stars in the glare of the sunlight off the lunar surface. But then, with the circle of the earth's night-side above and the sunlight only dimly coming through that band of fire at the outer edge of the atmosphere...
Man, what a show that would be!
