Lunar Eclipse

A few weeks ago, I decided to stay up late (really late) to see the lunar eclipse. It occurred in the early morning hours on the Winter Solstice (a rare event). The totality lasted from 2:41 am to 3:53 am. Luckily, the clouds stayed away for the first half of the totality, but then, they rolled in to cover the eclipse for the second half. It was neat to see the Moon like that.
