Lunar Eclipse (02.20.2008)

Wow ... last night's lunar eclipse was spectacular. It was black and clear as night could be here at home. We literally saw it from our front porch and windows. The kids tried to stay up to watch, but eventually fell asleep. We ended up waking them up to see the full eclipse 'cos it was one of those not to be missed events! There were tired, but came down and outside to witness the event.

It was my first time watching a lunar eclipse live as it happens. Thanks to MJM for the heads up ... Otherwise, we would have missed it! We followed the official page on NASA's website and consulted their timetable and the expected path of approach.

We're going to stay tuned to the other scheduled lunar eclipses for the year, too!
