Full Moon of Not?
Yesterday I went out early as usual to let the dogs out. I noticed a beautiful full moon illuminating the backyard. About 30 minutes later I went to let the dogs out again and I noticed the moon looked strange. I thought "What in the world? Has NASA gone and done something stupid or is it black magic...?" When suddenly out of the back door I hear Jamie call out, "Mom, there is a full lunar eclipse right now!" So my wild imagination was put to rest, and amazing it was to watch. You could see the moon getting covered right before your eyes. I find space and the moon quite fascinating. Here are some pictures we captured of the event.

OMG! That is so cool. Isn't that where the Earth's shadow cover's the moon? We only have those like once every... I have no idea what I am talking about but that is really neat. It's cool that you got to capture it!
I was happy the turned out. I shot them free handed without a tripod. They usually are a blurry mess when you do that. And yes, the shadow of the earth covers the moon...cool stuff!
