Yes, totality just passed, but the stars are still shining (click on the lower photo to see the stars even better). You still have another hour (give or take) to watch the moon come back to its full brilliance. And as you watch, consider for a moment that what you are seeing is essentially the Earth's shadow passing across the surface of the moon. Awesome is the only word for it.
