Orange Moon - Full Lunar Eclipse by goingslo

from Flickr http://flic.kr/p/n8uvdD With a thermos of hot chocolate and a batch of Judy's chocolate chip/banana cookies we braved the cold and the late hour to watch the eclipse. The Moon really turned orange, just like they said it would. And it was also fun having the westerly star (Spica) and Planet Mars nearby for added interest (see insert below for a glimpse of Mars). A cool event with very cool friends. It's now 3:23 a.m. and I'm headed for bed. There will be better images posted by others, I'm just happy I got what I did and It was definitely worth staying up late for this event!
