«The Shadow of the Earth»

Last night's full lunar eclipse. It's red due to the light refracting through the Earth's atmosphere.

  2. @ Linda: Yeah, only North America and South America could really see it. I've had this marked on my Google calendar for months now... Ever since I found out about it from playing around with WolframAlpha.

  3. This would've been interesting, but not enough that I'd get up at 2:40 to see it. Though I suppose it was on earlier in Idaho.

  6. @ Looney: Yes. I set up my camera on a tripod and took a few pictures of the moon. Those photos are mine.

    @ Linda: I was up until 4 am anyway, so the moon's timing was no inconvenience for me.
