Lunar Eclipse



So I just finished watching the Lunar Eclipse. I had a great view from my deck and even though my camera doesn’t do it justice I took a few pictures (click on them to get a larger view). I also had a good look with my binoculars and it was quite wonderful to watch. As I looked up at the sky I couldn't help but wonder how many eyes were on this beauty tonight.

A Lunar Eclipse is when the earth is directly between the sun and the moon. The result is a darkening of the moon due to the shadow the earth casts upon it.
