Blood Moon
The weather forecast had predicted cloudy skies for the 27th-28th night, but when I went to bed I was glad to see that the sky was entirely cloudless. I set my alarm clock for 4am.
I awoke from a slightly scary dream (a ghost made of light) and immediately thought "oh no, the clock hasn't rung, I've missed it". Then I got out of bed, thinking that I might still see some of the eclipse. It was dark outside, and I went back to my room, to check the clock. 4am! I'd awoken a few moments before the clock rung.
I stood outside taking photos for about an hour, witnessing the last sliver of penumbra leaving, and then returning. It was quite awe-inspiring to see the moon so red.
I showed it to my cat, telling him he probably wouldn't see it again, but he wasn't interested.
