Sadly, tonight’s lunar eclipse was marred by cloud cover. Around 8:30 the clouds cleared a bit, leaving some wispy ones floating around the moon, and I was able to take a few pictures.

It’s always cool to see the moon turn red (apparently a result of sunlight refracting through Earth’s atmosphere) and even cooler to see the curve of Earth’s shadow. The photo doesn’t really do it justice, but I enjoyed the sight anyway.
