LUNAR ECLIPSE
Right on schedule last night the lunar eclipse was seen. The lunar eclipse weblog link from Jessica Daminano also contains a reference to a lunar eclipse simulation that is very interesting. The eclipse started around 8PM and ended around midnight,give or take a few minutes. The sky was cloudy but the clouds were patchy so the moon was visible most of the time. In our area the moon appeared as if heavily veiled in a black cloth.
I came inside and made a GollyGee Blocks® scene somewhat representative of what we saw just as the moon reached full eclipse - around 10PM.
I remember seeing a solar eclipse in November of 1975 while I was in graduate school at Monterey, CA. We were able to view it through a smoked glass.
