Lunar Eclipse
There was a total lunar eclipse last night. I enjoyed the evening out in the backyard with my new iPod Star Walk app. There were a lot of clouds and I could only see occasional glimpses of the moon as the Earth's shadow moved across it, but I managed to snap a couple of pictures of it before I started to get sprinkled on.
