The moon rose hugely Tuesday night.
Wednesday morning, I rubbed the sleep out of my eyes early enough to *see* the bloody lunar eclipse but not quite early enough to get out and capture the bloody lunar eclipse on digital media. I’m not sure whether it disappeared for lack of light (it was pretty dim when I did see it, with just a sliver of silver moon showing at the very bottom of the orb) or whether clouds obscured it. Noticeably, no stars were visible in a fairly wide band above the horizon. By the time the sky was light enough to see detail, bloody clouds (they weren’t red …) were low above the western ridges.
But sunrise was briefly and sweetly – one might say bloody – spectacular. 🙂
Why yes, Virginia, that IS Temple Butte, silhouetted against the dawn. 🙂
Did you see the eclipse? How awed were you?? Share in the comments! 🙂
