Lunar eclipse

You can see it coming up from the bottom. Can't take a pic that works.
Well, then

I'm counting on NASA and countless observatories to take better photos than I would get. You just beat me on posting this topic, as I was delayed by the need to herd two furry girls back inside. Lizbit had launched into some long-winded lecture to Wiki about eclipses in general and what causes them. Wiki just wanted to jump to the moon to get a better look close-up. If I understood correctly, Lizbit finally told Wiki she shouldn't do that, because the moon was getting undressed so it could put its light in the washing machine.

Lizbit is all about science. And good manners.

Tell them the moon isn't allowing any pics of its covering up, at least by me. It's weird. My camera only shows a full moon...
Well, then

My camera took a couple of horrifically bad photos, so I gave up on that.

I'll just watch.

It is stupid cold here. We went outside for a minute, but couldn't figure it out.

I did see the gorgeous full moon when I got home from work a few hours ago.

You mean there's places where it hasn't literally been cloudy since Christmas? I seriously think the sun and moon were considered nonessential and got furloughed...

It was too cloudy here. :roll:

I was on a plane, on the aisle, wrong side of the plane anyway. :(

I got to see it live. Interesting, not spectacular. For anyone who missed it the published pics show the same thing.

We had a great good view here from the front step. Went in and out several times in the cold to check on progress. I probably gave up and went to bed before the grand finale, but it was almost completely covered and very dark red on the bottom 2/3 of the moon.
