Eclipse of the moon

I didn't mention earlier that Sunday evening, Sept 27th, there was a lunar eclipse which we went outside several times to view. We had a set of binoculars which gave us a bit more detail, but it was pretty spectacular with the naked eye, especially as it approached the full eclipse and turned into the famous "blood moon." I didn't really have the equipment to take a photo - my iPhone was sort of useless in that respect - but Cynthia got a good shot with her camera back in Vermont and shared it.
Thanks Cynthia!

This event will next take place in 2033 - the year of my hundredth birthday! Something to look forward to!
