Too cloudy here in England. It was very slightly dark for a few sec like a storm weather. Not interesting... Lucky you are.

If a star explodes in a galaxy and nobody saw it... ? :phil:

Yeah I got to see it, just. It was very cloudy in my area but thankfully the sun made some spots in the clouds where you could view the partial eclipse. Always enjoy seeing these things and watching the BBC's coverage via that plane was incredible, will be catching the programme later tonight to see more of it.

I'm honestly thankful for the clouds, there was just enough cover that blocked out the light, but I was able to see the eclipse perfectly. Got some pictures on my phone (which was what I was looking through half the time) too :D

I haven't seen anything, couldn't even see past 50 meters across the parking at work. Doesn't matter though, I'm much more interested in one day seeing the aurora borealis.

Nothing. The amazing weather that's been all week of course had to end this morning when it was cloudy as hell. >.< Best opportunity for 24 years too... I'm slightly bitter about it.

Not a single cloud all day here, so was able to see it quite well.

RobikV3 · March 20, 2015

There's a SpaceX launch in just over 3 hours time, (9pm UK time). It's the one with that difficult landing IIRC.

You'll find information on the mission itself here: Just Read the Instructions ... on Livestream

And the webcast to watch in 3 hours should be here: SpaceX | Webcast

The forecast is meant to be looking quite good, so here's hoping it goes ahead!

CLR-GTR · April 13, 2015

I hope they pull it off this time. Too bad it's not like an hour or 2 earlier :(

hassan1995 · April 13, 2015

Might just tune into this :mhmm:

CarMadMike · April 13, 2015

Only 60% chance of the weather being okay to go ahead supposedly, and even then less than 50% of it being successful according to Elon Musk on twitter.

--- Post Updated ---

Launch cancelled due to bad weather (lightning) within 10 miles of the launch site.

Supposedly another opportunity tomorrow.

Got to T-3:07 :(:(:(
