In case you weren’t able to see last night’s total Lunar eclipse, when the moon turned a deep red, I stayed up late with my six year old, Sadie and braved the cold weather. As the year draws to a close, I want to wish you and your friends, family and colleagues a wonderful holiday season and a great new year.
The eclipse last night took place during the winter solstice (the longest night of the year), so the moon was high in the sky. This hasn’t happened for 372 years, and the next lunar eclipse like this won’t happen until 2094. Enjoy the photos! (scroll below) — Jeff P.S.
