Night Sky

 

Yes, I stayed up for the lunar eclipse.  It was a sight to see!  It went from looking like the picture above to looking like those below.  It got even neater looking than this, but I will leave those pictures for the experts.

 

"Geoff Chester of the U.S. Naval Observatory inspected a list of eclipses going back 2000 years for NASA. 'Since Year 1, I can only find one previous instance of an eclipse matching the same calendar date as the solstice, and that is 1638 DEC 21," Chester said, according to NASA. "Fortunately we won't have to wait 372 years for the next one ... that will be on 2094 DEC 21.'"
