Not until 2033...

...will we see this again. Supermoon and Lunar Eclipse. And who knows where we will be in 2033. (I'd be 58. A horrifying thought.) So this is really exciting! The lunar eclipse started at 9:07 pm exactly and very soon after our shadow began to eat up the perfect whiteness on the edges of the moon. Clouds come an go, overshadowing even the Earth's shadow but for now, it's pretty clear. We are down to about a half moon. It's disappearing so fast...exciting! And makes me feel tiny and stupid.

"A lunar eclipse occurs when the moon passes directly behind the Earth into its shadow."
I read this on the NASA tumblr but I still feel like a primitive villager from way back when who just wants to sacrifice an animal and dance around a giant pyre to make the gods less mad.

10:15 pm. It is gone. We all go to sleep.
