Partial Eclipse of the Moon

On June 26th, you may recall, there was a partial lunar eclipse. I love the sky, the moon, space, aliens; named my daughter Sagan, for crying out loud.

My plan was to get up at 4:00 am and watch it from the trampoline in the back yard. I really wanted Greg to watch with me, but he was sleepy. Said to wake up when it got good.

So I went out alone and looked up at the beautiful moon. iPhone can't really capture the moon ... alas.

As it turns out, the beginning is the good part. To see that bite start coming out of the moon as it slowly moves across the sky.

At around 6 I think I went inside to wake up Greg. He didn't wanna get up still. I went to Crichton's room, his bed is at the right window.

Greg finally joined us for a minute. Then left again.



Crichton and I watched as the shrinking moon disappeared beyond the horizon. He said he wished I'd let him watch it all. Don't worry sweetie, there's another coming up. In December.

And a total solar eclipse July 11. Just wait til I post those shots on my iPhone.
