December 21, 2010 Part 1 - Lunar Eclipse
 |
| Curled up on the sofa with the camera ready to go! |
This was a pretty cool lunar eclipse to watch. It occurred on the Winter Solstice. That hasn't happened since 1632. Plus, there was a nice clear night for moonwatching. Since it was starting at 1:33 a.m., I took a nice long nap so I could stay up and watch the whole thing. Didn't quite make it - I eventually had to rely on my alarm to keep waking me up. It was freezing outside so I snuggled up on a sofa near the door and ran out every half hour to snap a photo.
