I knew that there was a lunar eclipse that was supposed to happen, but I wasn’t sure I’d be able to see it from my Boston apartment. Still, when 10 pm rolled around, I walked outside, looked straight up, and was pleasantly surprised to see this:

I ran upstairs, grabbed my camera, and grabbed a few shots.  I had only seen one lunar eclipse previously, one summer night many years ago when I lived in Michigan.  I was excited to see one again.  I even dragged Carisa downstairs in her pajamas to see it, and she appreciated the sight nonetheless.  Astronomical events like this make me want to get a place out in the boonies and shoot cool pictures of the sky all night.  Maybe someday.
