Lunar Eclipse

I woke up early this morning to watch the lunar eclipse scheduled (I say scheduled as if we here on Earth somehow have any effect on it whatsoever).  It was -13 below, but considering how cold it's been lately, it was actually not too bad.  However, I was the ONLY person out in the park this morning, other than the guy walking his dog.

Well, it was AWESOME.  By the time I got outside the moon was already moving through into a partial eclipse, but I spent the last half hour watching it move into full eclipse.  I only had my dinky point-and-shoot digital camera with me (curses for leaving all my good equipment in Ontario!) so the photos I got are terrible.  But it was really cool to watch nonetheless.
