Did you see it, did you see it?
The total lunar eclipse that was tonight? We did! I was going to link to NASA's website about the eclipse, but the site is down - too many people trying to get on it I bet. We saw Saturn, Remulus, Polaris, Orion and the Big Dipper too. But the moon was the best.
Here is a photo from the one in March 2007:

Unfortunately it was cloudy here, so I didn´t see it. I had thought about setting the alarm, but it was no idea since the sky was hidden.
It must have been fantastic.
As EH said, far too foggy. And mid-eclipse was around 4:30 in the morning. We'll have to make a note of december 21st 2010 in our calendars, the next full lunar eclipse here... :)

The owl is howling outside, the moon is full again, and we are waiting for the nth snow storm this year, supposedly about to start at midnight. But right now, a few hours before, it is quiet, dark, and perfect owl hooing weather.
