The evening was hectic, and I almost forgot about the #LunarEclipse. I had literally just put my son to bed when I remembered, “The #eclipse!” We went out to see if the sky was clear.
Clouds were rushing across the sky, but for the most part, it was clear, and we had a perfect view of the #moon looking like a dark brown chunk of rock in the sky.
(Then I spent 10 minutes fighting with camera settings while he went back to bed.) #BloodMoon
Oh wow, this is an amazing photo! And the moon wasn’t nearly so red here, so it’s cool you got to see that.
Thank you! It wasn’t quite this red to the eye, it was more of a deep brown, maybe slightly brick red. Probably a matter of retina sensitivity vs. camera sensors.
I went back out about an hour later to look at it as it left totality, too, and caught these photos: https://hyperborea.org/journal/2019/01/lunar-eclipse-jan2019/
