Hi - today is my birthday and there also happens to be a total lunar eclipse. I found this to be pretty cool (even though total lunar eclipses happen around twice a year, I've never got up early to watch one.) I got up early -- at 3:40 to watch this. Even cooler is that my given name, Cynthia, is of Greek origin, referring to the goddess of the moon's birthplace. I would have been really excited if the mid-eclipse would have been at 5:58am which was my time of birth, but it was at 5:37 instead. Bummer! I'm glad I got up early because the orangish eclipsed moon was
getting behind trees and dawn was coming at my normal waking time. Here ar
e a couple of pics - taken with a camera that does not do it justice, but it's all I had. I could not get a picture of the moon in total eclipse as the orangish moon was not bright enough to show up with my cheap camera. Enjoy!
