HEADS UP!!!
There is a Blood Moon tonight. That is a lunar eclipse, for those who didn't know this. I got up for the Tetrad, 2013-2014, where there were 2 Blood Moons in the Spring, 2 Blood Moons in the Fall.
They were Lovely!!
This one is visible only in the North America, the Pacific, Australia and Asia.
Don't feel badly if you won't see THIS one. There are others--in fact, MANY solar eclipses that I get to Hear about but not see, that are visible in Your neck of the woods.
When the earth blocks the sun from the moon it colors the moon a brick red. It takes HOURS from the time the eclipse begins, through the totality, when it is totally red, to the time it ends, which, where I live, the moon will set.

Those who woke up early to head to the polls on Tuesday, got a shot at seeing the moon darken as it fell into Earth’s shadow.

Funny, the author writes as if those of us who don't get to see the whole show will have a Better show. Not SO!!!
I Will suggest that, it you can watch this inside, you Should. DD and I froze our little bums off watching outside, bc NONE of the Tetrad brought warm weather with them.
Here is our closest schedule for tonight:

A touch of cold in the Autumn night—
I walked abroad,
And saw the ruddy moon lean over a hedge
Like a red-faced farmer.
–T. E. Hulme, English poet (1883–1917)

Are we there, yet?

Both the farmer and the hedge that the farmer is leaning over are far away. And, they must be very high on the hill. I stand on the top step outdoors to see that ruddy faced farmer.

It's 19°f (-7°C) here. Next time, I'll throw a blanket over the shoulders going out. Maybe a scatter rug ... scatter blanket & throw rug ... to see the rugged ruddy farmer's face. Hey. It's a big, round rock, ain't it?

the moon was so bright last night that i had to pull my hat down to block it - shining in through the double patio doors.

Not the best photos, but DD and I were on the phone at 3:15 CST this morning looking out west windows to see the "Blood." We watched for about 5 minutes, said, "enough is as good as a feast," then went back to bed. It was pretty seeing the crescent collapse as it eclipsed.
UNfortunately a cloud was moving over it at My house, but not Her house. DD grabbed some phone shots.
Fuzzy, but we own them!!
(Unlike when you put them on FB.)
