Dark Lunar Eclipse

I got up at 2:30 am PDT to watch this one. Fortunately it was clearly visible from my bedroom window; all I had to do was crawl out of bed and sit on the floor at the foot of the bed and stare. Then I got back into bed and set the alarm to wake me up about every 10-20 minutes to track the progress of the eclipse and still get some catnaps in. When I got up for good to go to work at 5:15, there was still about 5% of the moon in shadow. Nice one. Moonrise the last 3 days here in the Pacific Northwest was pretty cool too.

There is no dark side of the moon, really. Matter of fact, it is all dark. :wink:

That can’t be right. I hear from Beth that they have cookies on the dark side…

If it was dark, you wouldn’t be able to tell that Floyd was pink.

Wow. That looks fantastic. Wish I could have seen it.
