Saw Part of Lunar Eclipse Last Night
I wasn't planning on seeing the lunar eclipse last night but when I went out to check its progress and saw it was already half devoured by the earth's shadow, I was hooked enough that I went out again at 12:30 am, past my bedtime. By that time, only a crescent moon remained, surrounded by stars brightly shining. The constellation Orion was visible near the moon. Husband had gone to bed around 11 pm but I was tempted to wake him up so he could see the eerie wonder of the lunar eclipse - I should have. Daughter woke her 9 year old son up to see it - good for her!
