But this one has more information about why Mars appears bigger this night and the next few, not that I without any telescope expect to notice it.

Hmm. I live about 30 miles from that observatory. I completely missed this eclipse. Undecided

I'm confused though.  I didn't think we'd be able to see it at all in the US.  Weird.

Nope this footage is from half a year ago, "Published on Jan 31, 2018".

Guess I missed it a day early.  I'll miss it tonight then.  Wink

Looked like an eclipse here. Not trying too hard to see it, however.

Well, the moon must be in eclipse, I can't see it.

Or it's early afternoon and the moon is on the opposite side of the planet.

Yep, hasn't risen in Portugal yet. We should be able to see it. It's 9 PM and its still bright.

I guess the sun needs to sink more into the water. If you watch a sunset by the ocean you can hear a 'fiiiiiizzzzzzz" sound. I shit you not.
