Default Lunar Eclipse

Don't forget to look outside before you go to bed tonight. If you look right now, the moon is not quite shadowed all the way yet. Won't happen again until 2010.

Well, I'm officially the worst photographer of all time. Like Zigg said, it's like 8 out, so I froze my *** off. I took over a dozen pics, but when I came in and uploaded them, only one of them showed up. I guess my hands aren't too steady in the cold. Here it is, almost completely gone.
