Worth the Hype: Last Night's Lunar Eclipse


Despite the breathless reports of an upcoming "super blood wolf moon" and some gentle mockery of the hype, the sky show last night proved to be 100% worth staying up for.  Once the total portion of the eclipse began, the moon seemed to take on an almost 3-D appearance, like a ripe satsuma suspended ten feet beyond my eyes.  Yes, it was an optical illusion, but it still looked cool as all get out.

If you missed it, or just want a pretty fair replay, the BBC has a page full of pics.
