Disappearing Act




No, I'm not going to start posting full moon pictures every month but last night was a total eclipse of the moon. So todays post, just like a billion other bloggers today, is some snapshots of said eclipse. The second picture was taken, left to right top 9:04, 9:09 and 9:17, bottom row 9:24, 9:39 and 9:58, eastern time, of course. I wasn't too sure it would be visible tonight, we got an inch or so of snow this afternoon and evening, but he clouds broke open to a clear night. And a clear night with snow on the ground made it quite cold to be outside. Check out the last picture. I hope you can see it. to the bottom left is Saturn (I think) and in the upper right is the star Regulus. USA Today had a story here. (p.s. Post #300.)
