Missed Aug 2008…:( [partial]
Next full is Dec 21, 2010

it was cool

The lunar eclipse at the California State Capitol.

Nuf Z ! ! : )

(It was a while before putting this post up, of course!)

It’s beautiful

Just checked that the next one that should be seen from Europe is on the 16th of August.

A hunter’s moon is a lot better.

With the Lunar eclipse, the moon is orange and high up in the sky. Just a teensy, tiny spec.

A hunter’s moon is close to the ground, and is HUGE. You can see all the craters and everything very easily, w/out binoculars or anything.

Thanks to Schweffy alerting me as it was beginning, I was able to see the lunar eclipse. It looked really cool. The moon looked red and even purple at one point. I don’t think I have ever had this experience before and I’m glad to have had it now :)

i watched the beginning of the eclipse on my way home from work and proceeded to spend close to an hour sitting outside with my camera pointed upward. it was a lovely celestial show, and i managed to snap a few really great photos (of the 30-some i shot, i’m quite pleased with about five of them). and i’m glad my fiance and i had a chance to watch it together, which made it even more enjoyable.

can’t wait for 2010’s eclipse—hopefully we’ll be watching it from vermont instead of jersey.

My friend msged me earlier today to go outside and look at the moon. It was super sweet of him, I thought. It was such a crisp, cold night that the sky was beautiful. I just wish I would have had a camera with (even more so a really nice one).
