As a geek… I have obviously always wanted to be in space, and the moon has always been, at least for me, the quintessential object that draws that desire. Humans chased the moon for thousands of years, but when they finally got there, they forgot all about it. I will grant that forward progress means that you go forward, but the moon is still very very cool. Tonight it looked more cool then normal, since there was a full lunar eclipse. That means the earth completely blocks the moon from the sun casting a shadow and darkening it.
I had fun staring at it for awhile tonight… I tried taking a few pictures, but none of them looked good so I snagged the one above from the ABC website… thanks ABC…
Anyway, this is the last time you can see it until 2010.. so check it out.
