This last Tuesday morning here in Houston we were in the path of a Total Lunar Eclipse. I love these sorts of astronomical events.
Our alarm went off as usual at 5:00 AM. We usually listen to the news until 5:30, when NPR tells there little funny story of the morning. But that morning, our local weatherman mentioned that the total eclipse was in progress (unlike a solar eclipse, a lunar eclipse stays total for quite a while. In this instance, it was total from 4:52 AM to 6:22 AM.).
SO I rousted Doreen out of bed and we were treated to a beautiful red moon as the clouds parted long enough for us to enjoy the sight.
