Oh man was it ever clear out tonight.

That was pretty cool. I know its no where near as cool as a solar eclipse, I really hope to experience one in my lifetime. If you ever get the chance to experience a solar eclipse, DO IT. I have heard from those that it is the most spectatcular experience of their life. The air cools noticeably it darkens in the middle of the day, everything about it is wrong, and thats what makes it so rare and interesting.

Back to the lunar eclipse, it was pretty cool to see the earth shadow to intersect the moon, and then when it was in total eclipse, it was a real deep blood red. I could explain why but you guys probably don't want to hear that. I could also tell you why the sky is blue, but I doubt you want to hear that either. Very cool lunar eclipse. Glad I was around to see it. Happens a couple times a year usually, so if you missed it this time, try to catch it next time.
