Did you see the lunar eclipse tonight/this morning? We went out on our roof and watched the moon go from full to completely shadowed.
View from our rooftop — a warm 75 degree evening that was perfect for moon watching.
I’ve never seen a lunar eclipse before (that I remember anyway). It seems like all the good astronomy sightings are crack-of-dawn early and I’ve never wanted to see anything badly enough to get up for it. Not since Halley’s comet when I got up by myself at 4 am and sat on the front porch of our house in Oakland and to this day I still don’t know if I was looking at a far away airplane or a comet. Oh well.
Anyway, this one was perfect for me since it started around 5:30 pm, right as the sun was setting. Pretty nifty and we got a good science lesson out of it.
