Re: Total Lunar Eclipse

The absolute worst part, is I went to bed and slept fitfully for about two hours, woke up and the dog noticed, and let me know he wanted to go out. Having nothing better to do, except sleep, I threw on some clothes, and gave him the treat, of an after midnight walk. The eclipse was over the

I suggest this line of yours for the beginning of a short story or novel... "The eclipse was over the clouds were gone, the moon hung unobscured in the night sky, the dog didn't care." Or , as a line to start that game I played long ago with literary types writing a line or two, folding over

Re: Total Lunar Eclipse

Despite the local weather forecast, I went outside a few times to check if it was visible. Got one fairly good glimpse at the moon through the clouds before it started. Not enough to see any details; just barely enough to see there is texture to the moon's surface. Later there was another

I walked along the lake for about a 1/2 hour, hoping the light clouds would lift, but they didn't. Gave up, went home. About midnight I brought the garbage out and there it was: about 1/4 obscured by the earth's shadow. Quite spectacular! Like Ann, I don't have the equipment to do anything
